Food and Sleep

My goal for this weekend was to sleep as much as possible. For some reason on Friday, I realized that I was just exhausted! I had a list of about 10 things I needed to go and do on Friday afternoon, but decided that if I wasn't going to get any of those things done, at the least I would enjoy the chaise lounge chairs and the sun in my backyard. Problem was, that I laid down on the couch for a couple of minutes and woke up 2 hours later!

Yesterday was a busy day once it got started, but Lola and I slept in as late as we wanted first. I met Jennifer and Lisa over at Jasper's in The Shops at Legacy and had a great lunch celebrating Jennifer's birthday. I had the pork loin and it was wonderful. We ordered a side of the Gouda mac and cheese and it was very yummy too. We got the trio of mini desserts. The best thing on there was a rocky road ice cream sandwich. It was ice cream rolled in nuts, covered in marshmallow cream and caramel stuffed between two chocolate cookies...DELIGHTFUL! Then we all rolled ourselves out of there and went to a wedding shower.

Lola and I again slept in this morning. Today I have several things to do, but again, getting plenty of rest is in the forecast because as if I don't have enough things to do, I am substituting for another professor this week which means that I will have a 7 a.m. class on Monday and Wednesday before my 8 a.m. class. I will have to leave my house by 6:30 a.m. to get there, so I'm looking at a few early mornings this week. YUCK! At least it is a short week and there is no school and no Fitts & Castleman operations on Friday.

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
