A Very Long Time Ago

A very long time ago I posted on my blog. I have been baking or at least creating sweets lately. Some I have gotten from the www.recipeboy.com recipe site. The last I made was a reeses cup inbetween a double stuffed oreo minus the 2 chocolate wafers. Here's a picture of one that I took a bite out of.

Turkey Salad that I have to share

I also posted this over at delish but you have to try it yourself well, after you have roasted a turkey or a turkey breast!

Recipe from Alton Brown...

Here's the recipe:
1 lb Roasted Turkey meat
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/2 small lemon freshly squeezed
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 c pecans, toasted and roughly chopped
1/4 c dried cranberries, roughly chopped
2 TBSP fresh sage, chiffonade
1/4 tsp kosher salt
black pepper, to taste

Combine everything in a large airtight container. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Store in the fridge for 3 days.

I normally don't like fruit mixed with my meat. But this was great. I think the fresh sage really added a lot to this salad.

Reporting Back

Well I have made some changes. I bought a wii and the EA Active 2 "game". I have enjoyed the variety of the workout since it does seem to different every time although not the entire workout since each workout is based on a variety of strength training and aerobic exercises. If you have a wii and are looking for something check out EA Active 2! I also invested in WII fit plus. Wow they really developed some interesting new games since they came out with WII fit. I especially like the kung fu (sp?)

I'm not working out everyday but do hit at least 5 days a week so it has given me a good change. Hoping to keep it up as we go along.

Now if the weather would just warm up that would please me a great deal! :)

New Beginnings

I haven't been writing on this blog as much but would like to change that for 2011.

Other changes I need to make in my life:

1. Add regular exercise to my daily life

2. Find and obtain a new job hopefully in event/meeting planning this year.

3. Discover and visit interesting spots around Minnesota and Wisconsin.

4. Find time to see friends and family near and far.

5. Send more snail mail to others...everyone enjoys getting a letter in the mail.

6. Take more pictures maybe doing 3 and 4.

List to continue

Happy New Year everyone.

Holy Cow

Holy Cow. It has been a really long time since I blogged last.

What have I done since I last posted?

Still working both jobs but am now doing the bank job during the day instead of second shift. Feels so good to be able to get back to my bookclub as well as feel like a normal working person or at least the typical with the usual hours.

I had a road trip adventure driving from the twin cities area to Lancaster, Pa. I tried to divide it up within two days but ended up spending a third night in Ohio near Sandusky, thanks to tornadoes and massive rain. Glad to say that the journey back was much faster and I had less storm issues.

Promise to update more often.... I do have lots of postcrossing postcards to post if anyone wants to see them ;)

Long Time No Post

Well the good news is that I have been working. I have been working a retail job and been working a second shift job as well. I like the second shift job a bit more but I'm not looking forward to working retail during the holiday season though. But the discount will be nice.

I have some postcrossing cards to post but I haven't scanned them yet either.

Postcrossing Postcards from the last week or two

Here are some postcards I have gotten recently.
