What If I Was On The Simpsons?

I have never really like the Simpson's, but really who can say that they haven't seen someone that they thought looked just a little bit like a character from the Simpson's. I found this website on a friends blog and thought it would be funny to see what me and my husband looked like, so I tried it.

Pick'n Pretty-Plump Perfect Pumpkins

Today, Oct 8, 2007, Patrick and I decided that it was finally time to visit Paradise. Last year we found out that there was a pumpkin patch down in the town of Paradise, Ut that was planted by some young women in the local ward to serve as a fundraiser. So we went on a trip to pick some pumpkins. When we got there we were lucky to find a orchard next to the patch that sold some apple cider. It was great. We enjoyed the experience so much that I couldn't wait to go this year. We've been so excited for Halloween this year that we couldn't wait any longer to get pumpkins. Not only did we get pumpkins today that are exceptional but we also stopped by to get some apple cider from Paradise Family Farms. I would recommend this patch to anyone. I found out about it off the internet last year when I was reading up on Halloween. Here is the website if any of you are interested. http://www.pumpkinpatchesandmore.org/UTpumpkins.php

Pizza on the BBQ???

The other night (Sept. 21, 2007) we decided to be creative with dinner. Pizza sounded good, but we wanted to try something a little different for our date night. I had seen a picture with a recipe for pizza on the bbq. I didn't have the recipe, but how hard can it be....right? Earlier in the week we had been to the gardner's market and so we already had peppers, onions and tomato. An alfredo pizza sounded good, we just didn't want to take the time to make the chicken, so we decided to use ham. In High school Patrick worked at Papa John's Pizza, so I thought it would be good for him to make the crust. However, we bought one of those little Jiffy box mixes and it didn't work very well. By the time we put it on the bbq, it was so sticky and didn't stay looking so much like the shape of a pizza(but we got it on there). First you cook it on one side, after you flip it over, you put all of your toppings and then let it cook and melt the cheese. The end product was very good, but next time we will try a different pizza crust recipe and maybe pre-cook the vegi's. We had a great time with trying something different.
