pizz a what?

So I'm sorry I haven't posted lately I've been completely frustrated with technology. I have created multiple vlogs none of which will load correctly on here. So I've decided to include the pictures and just carry on until our computer savy friend returns from a trip. Anyways what are these pictures and what is pizz-a-dilla you must be wondering? Well I'll tell you it's a delicious and wonderfully easy dinner that I love ;) Good thing Jonathan likes it too or he'd be in trouble. The pictures show you how to make it in reverse order, but you get the idea. If the video ever does load you will have a lovely tutorial on how to make this, much like the little hulu clips on cooking from the food network, hopefully. I love watching those. Okay back to pizz-a-dilla. You start with tortillas, 2 cans of diced tomatoes with chiles (rotella), your favorite cheese, fresh basil (mines from the garden), and that's it!!! So first put some olive oil in a small pan add the 2 cans of tomatoes with some minced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Just warm it up basicly. Then get your big pan out for cooking the actual finished product. Also add olive oil and the tortilla...next the cheese, then diced tomatoes, then shredded up basil (it smells so good :) Top it with another tortilla and keep flipping it over with a spatula until both sides are crisp and cooked...Slice and serve alone or with salsa and sour cream. This is a Rachael Ray recipe that I've motified with what we like...enjoy and let me know what you think! I could eat this everyday, okay maybe everyother day, but it's delicious. Hope to post my video soon! Thank you guys for your patience.

Why I love barbecuing...

Besides for the obvious reasons, like it's simply delicious, I love barbecuing because of so much more. It reminds me of home. That warm comforting feeling the goes straight in my nose and down to my stomach. I know home is a state of mind and the people you love and not the actual place, but from the first sniff of flame broiling I think of my parents, my brother and our cute little backyard. My mom getting the chicken or steaks together all seasoned and wonderful and sending my dad out to the grill. My mom preparing the salad and bread and me cleaning the table, setting it, and drolling over my dad's wonderful barbecue sense. He always knows just the right time to lift up the lid and flip over whatever was cooking. Even veggies seemed better on the grill. The table set then we'd all gather at the umbrella covered table on the patio. Enjoy the last bits of sun and each savory taste of dad's barbecue goodness :) My brother of course arriving just in time for food. He has a nose for these things. I miss that backyard with the water fountain my mom would have going in the background. So calming, so peaceful, and so making me have to pee after too many glasses of tea.

Barbecuing is different now, but still wonderful. It brings back wonderful memories, ones that I had forgotten since my husband and I haven't ever had our own grill. My parent's gift to us for our anniversary this year is what brought this all back. Our very own barbecue. Jonathan's been perfecting his technique based on tips from my dad. By the end of summer he'll be a pro too. Eating grilled food watching the setting sun is one of my favorite past times.

Kentucky Barns

When we first moved here I decided I was going to make a coffee table book of Kentucky Barns, but of course I got distracted or busy or whatever. Anyhow, here are the pictures. I love them and there are so many more to capture. I love the bright green color that surrounds them most of the year. What do you think should I continue the project?

hello world :)

So I'm not sure how to start a blog so i'll just jump in the middle and let you guys piece it all together. This is going to be a combination vlog/blog, if i can ever get my intro video to load, but in the mean time I'll post pictures and things. We have now been living in Kentucky for 2years and 4 months. Which I can't believe and I wished I started this back when we first moved, but better late than never. I'll be updating you on our lives here in Kentucky, which is oh so different from California(oh let me count the ways....) Hopefully we will be doing cooking vlogs on here. My hope is that through this project I will be able to get support and help to cope with our recent miscarriage and keep busy while awaiting our specialist appointment. thank you for checking in ;)
