A very mild start to the day... In comparison to what we've been experiencing anyway!  The coolest thing about today I think is the fact that it is Thursday and that of course is connected to Friday and we all love the arrival of the weekend!

Chatted a bit about the ACM's nod that were announced yesterday.... I think Kacey is going to clean up at these!  Eddie's got a posting and his predictions on his page and in his blog!  Diamond Rio ticket winning with more of that with Eddie as well!

Have a Great Day and thanks for your time!

Carne Asada Beef Tacos

As you'll see in the video I don't always follow the recipe and I encourage you to do the same...  Consider a recipe more of a guideline than the rule!

I also did forget to drizzle the tomatillo sauce over the tacos in the video but did do it after...

Hope you enjoy!

It's always nice knowing you are on the downward side of the week and indeed we are!  Had some fun with Alyssa from Appleton this morning... She had to guess which tooth paste I made up!  See Crest came out with some new flavors and I came up with my own to throw her off... It did not... She picked it out and WON tickets to see Diamond Rio next month!  Enjoy the show girl and thank you so much hanging out this morning on your way to work!

More ticket winning later today with Eddie and tomorrow morning again on my show!

Have A Great Day and we'll chat soon!

Monday Jan 27th

The week is off and running and colder than the dickens! I had a good time today keeping JP in a bit of suspense letting him think that I had completely forgot his birthday... I did not! Happy 30th little Buddy!

Spent much of the morning chatting about these crazy temperatures, closings & delays and the craziness that went along with this years Grammy's! It seems like every year is all about topping the weirdness of last years... and it was successful! Very entertaining though, I do have to give them that! Kat sent me a video to share with one and all... Taylor thinking she won when she did not, I kind of liked it!
