Yesterday, Will and I crossed over the Potomac River in our RV and this is the conversation we had.
Will: We are crossing the Potomac! (in a sing song announcer voice)
Kris: Yay! So, what happened on the Potomac again? I can't remember.
Will: It's historic!
Kris: I know! What happened?
Will: George Washington stood on people's heads in his boat and held his sword out.
Kris: Then what happened?
Will: He said, "'scuse me!"
Kris: HAAAAA!
More to come about our RV adventure. We're in DC. This morning we are heading out to see John Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity/Stephen Colbert's March to Keep Fear Alive. Good times will be had by all!

Secret Agent
A chat with a 6th grader at school today.
6th grader: Are you a secret agent?
Me: Um, yea. I am. How could you tell?
6th grader: I just figured.
Me: How about you? Are you a secret agent?
6th grader: Yea.
Me: Who do you work for?
6th grader: I can't tell you that.
Me: Why?
6th grader: It's a secret.
I realize this is silly, but I love it. Middle schoolers crack me up!

Just one more
I'm impressed with my posting this weekend. It will come to a screeching halt tomorrow though, so here's one more.
My sis came over for dinner tonight. Here's what I made: Sweet Chile Pineapple Fish. I'm feeling funny about the spelling of Chile in this recipe. It's in reference to Asian Chili or Chile sauce. I don't know which it should be. The recipe spells it with an "e," but I'm not sure because isn't Chile the place? I googled "Asian Chili Sauce," and it found some things that look right. Then, I googled "Asian Chile Sauce," and it changed to Chili with an "i." This recipe is from Publix. Perhaps I should call them because I think they have it wrong. Anyway, this sauce is the same that's in the curry noodles I love. It's with the Thai food if you're on the hunt for it.
I used tilapia instead of salmon. Try it!
Because I love my sister, I also made dessert...CHOCOLATE COBBLER. I hate fruit cobblers...fruit should not be warm and mushy. It should be cold and crunchy. But chocolate, on the other hand, should definitely be warm and mushy. This was awesome!
Off to another week of exhaustion. This one ends with a road trip to DC in an RV though, so at least there are some adventures in store.

Can't Wait
For this book:
When I was a kid, I read ALL of the Sweet Valley High books. This is amazing. Apparently, though, Jessica and Elizabeth are estranged. Hmmm, really? It doesn't come out until March 29th though. I found out today that is also the day I can upgrade to an Iphone 4 for less then 1000 dollars. It's also one day before I turn 30. At least I can fool myself into joy at no longer being in my twenties with gadgets and a sob story about two drama queens from a fake California town!

Snacks
I have a weakness. I have a lot, but a major one is snacks. I love them. I think about snacks. I pack myself snacks. I'm always on the mission for the perfect snack that makes me happy but doesn't make me get heart disease. Didn't expect that, huh? Heart disease. Yea, it's dreadful.
So, these have been around forever, but I've only recently tried them. Larabar. They are not new at all. Here's my fave: Coconut Cream Pie!
They have like 10 grams of fat which is a lot for a snack. It's because they have almonds. So, I eat half and save half. Smart, huh? Rocket science. They also only have like 5 ingredients, ALL of which I can pronounce. Yet another reason to add them to your grocery list.
In other news, SC is actually getting a Trader Joe's in Greenville.
I stopped by last weekend to marvel at the building. It's a similar feeling I had when Columbia actually got a Starbucks. I have no idea why we are the last to get everything. We are full of college kids who love all of this stuff. And then there's me. I love all this stuff too! Even though I couldn't go in to Trader Joe's because it wasn't open yet, I did chat with a guy who works there. I asked him when we would get one in Columbia. He said that both Columbia and Charleston are on a list. Then he told me he'd said too much and hurried away. Such secrets in the special-grocery-store world. I know TJ's isn't special either. Kinda like the Larabar. Trader Joe's has really great snacks though if you are lucky enough to live in a city that has one.

Noodled.
I've been meaning to post some things for days, but really who has time. So, today I'll catch up and post a few. Funny thing is I thought all week, "Oh I need to blog about that!" and then really now, all of these things seem sorta silly. Oh well. That's the way of things.
To start... Red Curry Noodles. These are seriously tasty comfort food. At my favorite Thai place, there are two dishes I love. One is called the Amazing, which is a curry dish, and the other is the drunken noodles, which are noodles that are drunk they taste so good. This recipe is sort of like a combo meal of the two. Sort of. Here it is:
Red Curry Noodles (This will serve 8. I cut it in half which is enough for two meals. These are awesome the next day too!)
6 whole Chicken - Boneless, Skinless Breasts (cubed)
2 cans Coconut Milk
2 teaspoons Red Curry Paste
1 Tablespoon Ginger (fresh, Grated)
1 Tablespoon Cilantro (fresh, Chopped)
¼ cups Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
500 milliliters Chicken Or Vegetable Broth
1 package Rice Noodles
1 whole Onion (julienne)
2 whole Red Peppers (julienne)
1 cup Broccoli Slaw
1 Tablespoon Salt To Taste
Preparation Instructions
Start with a large pot over medium-high heat. Scoop the cream off the top of the coconut milk, and put into the pot. The cream will be used as the “fat” instead of oil or butter. Along with the cream, add the curry paste and ginger. Let this simmer for 1 minute.
Then add the chicken. Cook the chicken through.
Then add the rest of what is in the coconut milk cans, sweet Thai chili sauce, cilantro, and chicken broth. Bring this to a simmer.
Then add your julienned veggies and rice noodles. Simmer this. You will see the broth slowly thicken as the rice noodles absorb it. It should only take about 5 minutes for the rice noodles to be cooked through.
Pull the pot off the heat, and let sit for about 5 minutes. It will thicken during this time. Then, it’s done. Slurp these noodles out of big noodle bowls! Garnish it with a bit more cilantro.
**Stuff I did differently: I don't measure at all. So try that and then also throw in a little brown sugar. Also, they are good with some lime squeezed on top. Is that weird?
Here's the how to from the Pioneer Woman where I found the recipe.
Check it out! Eat 'em up!

Parents!
This weekend, I went to the upstate to hang out with my parents for a bit. Really that translates to shopping with my mom and watching the Gamecocks lose with my dad.
The Gamecocks situation was sad. I never watch football. Even when I go to a football game, I just chat or play on my phone. I don't pay attention. I think this is really because I don't understand football. I get it overall, but there are things that I don't get. I do have one new question based on the fact that I actually watched the game. I paid attention to players' numbers so that I could try to keep track of who was who. Garcia is #5. Then, there's this guy who plays defense who is ALSO #5! How can this be!? I mean, I get that one is playing offense and the other is playing defense, but really how can there be two #5's on the team? Is it because Garcia is QB, so he doesn't count? Is it really just because they are in different categories? Oh the mystery. I talked a lot about that during the game. I think my dad was annoyed with me, and we were both annoyed that they lost in the last seconds of the game. The one game I watched too. Bad football karma maybe? Speaking of #5, when I played basketball in middle school, I was #5. How 'bout that?
More interesting was shopping with my mom. We had fun and she got me treats which I totally didn't need or really deserve. She's just awesome like that! Most exciting was the fact that I got new boots. Exhibit A:
I seriously love these boots. Love them.
Then there are these guys. Exhibit B:
Now here's the thing about these boots. They pretty much require that I wear them over my jeans. I have a problem with that though. I normally don't wear my shoes on the outside of my pants as that's a fashion trend that is well, weird to me. I'm game though; I'll totally play along. But, I always wear boot cut jeans, so that's a lot of pants to stuff in your boots. I need tips on this practice. I seriously have contemplated buying skinny jeans, another fashion trend that gives me the heebie jeebies, just so I don't have to have put forth so much effort to put the shoes on the outside of the pants. Oh, the dilemmas I face!

Going to the Fair
On Friday afternoon, Will and I headed to the State Fair. We don't go to the fair every year because it's like a repeat from the year before, but this year, we were really just in need of Mini Doughnuts.
From the minute we entered the gates, we were on a mission for these guys. Yum.
Lots of fair food vendors tell lies about how they have Elephant Ears, Funnel Cake, Mini Doughnuts! This vendor had it right. Really, it's just fried dough. No need to call it fancy names.
Other than the doughnuts, we were able to resist all of the other options, though we did share a fresh squeezed lemonade that was loaded down with sugar.
But really, that was all!
Other than eating we checked out the animals. In the cattle barn, I was amazed by all the 4-H kids who were working and taking care of their cows. They were teenagers, who were willingly working. With cows. Amazing. Because I was so impressed by the kids' efforts to take care of cows and was carrying on about how I never had experience with animals blah blah blah, Will seized the opportunity to launch into a discussion about how we should get a milk cow. Maybe like this one.
I really have no idea if this is a milk cow. Could just be beef. No clue.
We added this to our plans for after I finish school and we suddenly are free to do things like move to a farm. Will suggested I use the cow idea as motivation for finishing school. Dr. G on the farm with her cow. That's not quite what I'd pictured, but hey, at this point if I can just be finished I'd be happy, even if I do live on a farm with cows.
This cow, in particular, was huge and pregnant. She made me worry about child birth because, well...look at her. Holy crap. Huge.
The only ride I was brave enough to get on was the chair lift because I seriously don't trust rusty rides that fold up and travel around the country. Yea, that'd be the one that could drop you from the cable leaving you with nothing but a broken neck. Here's the view.

Best Sunday Ever
Here's how to have the best Sunday ever, if you're into that kind of thing. :)
1. Sleep in.
2. Eat blueberry pancakes (made by husband, not from a box mix) and drink cinnamon coffee (Starbucks new flavored line is actually good, and I'm not always a fan of flavored coffee.)
3. Watch CBS Sunday Morning News, which is the best news program on television.
4. Get back in bed and read a magazine with more coffee.
5. Go for a run to take in some fall sunshine.
6. Go back to bed with laptop to read blogs and look for fall-like recipes.
I haven't gotten to numbers 7+, but 1-6 have been fabulous.

Calling Egypt
Tonight I went to Tractor Supply with the husband. We had to buy rabbit food and stuff to make a gate. Just usual Thursday night errands.
We go to Tractor Supply on a weekly basis, so the people who work there know us and are always super nice. They are mostly high school students, so I find them to be very funny. Tonight, the guy checking us out asked Will for his phone number. Will told him no because we never really cooperate when people ask for our number. So, the girl who was working watches him click through to the next screen on the register, and she said, "Why didn't you make one up?" The guy said he didn't care about his rating, so I assume the more phone numbers they get from customers, the higher their rating. So this little happening led to a conversation all about making up phone numbers or not making up phone numbers. The girl said she always made up numbers when people didn't just give them to her. The guy replied, "Yea, I think you put in a number for somewhere in Egypt the other day." She started laughing and asked him if he knew that for sure. He said that he did because he saw it on the paper in the office. "It said Egypt or something. For real!"
Who knew calling Egypt was so easy you can just make up a number? For real!?

Butternut!
For the past couple of years I've wanted to cook with butternut squash, but never really got around to figuring that out. This year though, that has all changed.
I made some yummy ravioli for dinner with a butternut squash sauce. The ravioli was store bought spinach ricotta. In my opinion you should always have a box of ravioli in the refrigerator. So good! Totally a comfort food at my house. Tonight I changed up the sauce though and rather than the usual marinara, I went all kinds of butternutty!
I used this recipe from Martha Stewart. I'm not the hugest Martha fan, but her recipes are pretty much a guarantee for a good meal. Last week, I stayed home for a personal sanity day and Martha was on Today. Her segment was all about meals you can make in place of something yummy and bad for you. Meredith was the Today anchor on the segment. They started with a replacement for pizza. Martha shared a recipe for tomato soup. Seriously!? Meredith called her out about it and kind of laughed at her for thinking soup would be as satisfying as pizza. Martha responded, "Oh but Meredith, you didn't try it with the crusty bread! It's just like pizza!" Meredith said, "Um, maybe for you!" and rolled her eyes. I love Meredith! I'm with her on this one. I love tomato soup, but it certainly doesn't replace pizza.
But the butternut sauce was a winner. I changed just a couple things.
*I didn't use a whole cup of half and half, just enough in my opinion, which was only about half a cup. I also used fat free.
*I used garlic out of the jar and just put it in at the time I pureed it. Roasted garlic would have been lovely I'm sure, but I use garlic from a jar because I'm not that fancy.
*After I pureed the sauce, I put it in a sauce pan to heat it up. I added some grated parm at this point b/c parm makes everything amazing.
Okay, that's it. Now, go try it!

Feels Like Fall
The weather is finally cooler and Starbucks has the pumpkin spice latte, so it must be fall, right?
Over the weekend, we went camping. It was fun. We had adventures. Here are some highlights:
Driving through the middle of nowhere in Georgia, we came across these guys.
From them, we bought these.
After the doughnut score, we got behind this guy, so it took us longer to get to our final destination.
Once we made it and set up camp
we went on a hunt for firewood.
Being the only girl on the camping trip is the best because I got to drive, which meant I didn't have to drag tree limbs and such. In the middle of the woods, we did come upon this sign, which was odd but effective because I stopped to think about it.
The firewood helped me make these yummy smores!
After smores, we headed up to the top of some mountain to look at the stars. No picture of that to share, but it was awesome. The weather was amazing so there were no clouds. We could even see the Milky Way and shooting stars and all. We all got on top of the Four Runner, and it was like we were in a movie. Well, maybe not. It was freezing, and I was scared some scary person was going to run out of the woods at us, but I've only seen people sitting on their cars looking at the stars in movies, hence my reference.
On the way home, we drove through Helen, GA just to see it because I'd never been there. Nothing that interesting except a bunch of buildings that looked German? or Dutch? I did see this horse though.
