A Fly in the toilet ....Ha ha ha :)

This is the funniest email I have received so far, from a co-worker.

Let me know if you would like me to fwd it on to you!

A  FLY  IN  THE  TOILET 
 

                                                                         

A Fly in the Toilet...

     When I went to the men's room in the

  Schiphol Airport when we got to Amsterdam ,

I saw the fly and didn't think much about it.?

Now I know why it was there!

            Who says you can't potty train a man?

                                                        
                                                      Hilarious! :)

While Grant is away Wiki is at play.

Wiki being naughty, climbing where he shouldn't! 

 Ahaaaa

 I see you!

 After getting a good yelling...he knows what's good for him :)

 He's like....I am not doing anything :(

 Then he comes and sits in my lap acting all innocent..."I am a little cat angel"

Having a fishy time!

                                                            Wiki knows what's up :D

This past weekend we discovered a new grocery store called Fresh Market yaaaah! It's a little upscale, in line with maybe the Lunds & Byerly's of Minnesota. They have a really nice very fresh produce section, the best we have seen in the area so far. Plan to go there more often for sure.

 Since my dear husband is in Phoenix Arizona for a three day conference, I decided to go grocery/fish shopping. Grant has never eaten fish Indian style which would explain why he doesn't like fish ;) ...so I never get to eat fish anymore because its just not fun to buy and cook for one. Today I ended up buying two types of jumbo shrimps : domestic and brown gulf variety, not sure what either taste like :) (I am sure it will taste great it's shrimp after-all!) and some fresh Tilapia fillets among other thing. Will let you know how it turns out once I am done.    

After peeling and deveining the shrimp.......

                                                                      

  

 

Both varieties of shrimp went into a delicious coconut shrimp curry, could not tell the difference. All in all a really good recipe and a very satisfying meal....yummy!

Spring is almost here!

We have both been in our new jobs in Michigan a few months now and have decided to take the next step. We have been planning for it financially for a while now and feel it is the perfect time to get into the real estate market. Yes we are buying a house! Maybe this means we won't be moving anytime again ....anytime soon anyways ;)

We are by no means looking for our dream home, it is more of an investment in our future. We are looking for a modest three bedroom, two bathroom house, attached 2 car garage, in a nice neighborhood, a good school district and easy access to work. We have been looking since January, so far we have looked at about mmmm 10 houses. Put offers on 2 and almost made an offer on a third. The two biggest restrictions for us have been the school district/location and the price. 

The last house (we fondly call it "the yellow house") we put an offer on went into foreclosure :/ , so with no clue as to when it will come back we plan to just wait. The hardest wait for us so far! 

Yesterday Mike Holmes from HGTV was at the Home Expo in town so we got to go hear him talk about home inspections, mold prevention etc. Love his shows! Uuuh I bought his magazine a few weeks ago and finally read it while watching Grant play at an Ultimate Frisbee game last night...I learned sooo much in just 4 hours :) Awesome!

 What's cooking today? .....my take on chili....turkey with mixed beans in a savory tomato stew!

Bon Appétit !

Winter wonderland! Bubye :)

Been thinking about blogging on a regular basis for a while now...especially since I have soooo much to say ;) But I am finally going to do it or try to anyway :) Will try and include photo's where ever I can....cause I still love clicking pics.

Winter is so pretty, just wish it wasn't so cold! We were in luck, moved out of Minnesota just in time to escape the worst winter they have had in a while. Michigan didn't get hit that bad this winter. We did have a few storms, one of which left about 2 inches of solid ice on the car. The day after a storm is always the prettiest, good thing I had my camera with me. :)
