DIsc Golf

Today, I had to take Alice to the doctor, so I didn't go to work again.  But that meant I got to do more fun things with the girls.  Amy's parents are still here so we always do lots of adventure with them.  After I got home from the doctor we went to Kinder Farms and I got to do some disc golf with Amy, while her parents watched the kids.  I love to play disc golf (though I am not super good).  I have about 6 discs, (3 drivers, 2 mids, and a putter) some bought and some found.  I probably had one of the best disc golf days of my life.  At least my drives were pretty far and pretty straight.  And the course at Kinder farms is REALLY nice.  Next time I get a free saturday, I will try to go again. It was fun going with Amy.  She's even worse than me, so it makes me feel great to beat her. 





After this we went to the mall and ate at red robin, one of our families favorite place to eat (bottom-less steak fries).

Dallas Dream of Cherry Pie!

Image
 Happy Valentines Day! This week I needed a pie that was more or less red in the middle for Valentines. I have never made a cherry pie because cherries are not in season yet, but I decided this was the week for cherry. I had to buy frozen cherries from Wegmans.  The pie turned out ok, I was hoping my hearts on top would look nicer, but I guess I'm not much of an artist.   This pie was tasty, the crust turned out nice.  I think I would have been better had I used tart cherries like most recipes suggest, but I only had  sweet dark ones frozen.  It was still pretty good though.

Dallas Dreams of Chilled Grapefruit Meringue Pie

Image
Again I tried to do something more unique, and I don't think this one turned out super great.  I mean, it was okay. It was sweet and creamy, but it just didn't live up to the vision inside my head. The meringue on top did not work.  I guess I don't know how to make them since my lemon meringue pie was also a flop.  It was just a gooey mess stuck to the top.   And then there wasn't a very strong grapefruit flavor. This was definitely my own fault because I couldn't get any grapefruits to zest (meaning there were no quality grapefruits at the store), so I used oranges instead.  I did use grapefruit juice in the curd in the middle, but it was still not very strong. I also don't think I used the right type of caramel in the middle cream portion.  Finally, I think I left them in the oven a second too long. You can see they are a little more black than I would like.  In addition to the pie not working the way I thought, it was also the most difficu...

Book Review: The Name of the Wind

Image
 I finished reading "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. This is not typically the type of book I enjoy reading, and I kind of started reading it on a whim, without really knowing a lot of about it and it turned out that I really enjoying the read.  It is a fantasy book, set in a fantasy place, but I felt like it like it wan't TOO fantasy-esque.  Like there is magic, but they don't call it magic, and they treat it more like a science.  The  main character goes to college to learn about it.  But in addition to learning about magical things, they also take classes like logic, and medicine, among other stuff.  I don't know exactly what it is I liked about this hero adventure, perhaps it was the main character, or the world it is set in. I read it pretty quick because I was interested in what was happening. Unfortunately it is a series and the story stops very suddenly at the end.  I will probably even read the next one at some point.  In ...
