AWESOME flashbacks!

I can't wait for you to see what I've got today!
First up a flashback of Britt's mom at Band Camp. Do you see her? She in the upper right hand corner of this picture.

Next I have a very special one for Leslie and Dancia...

Look at our silly make-up!

Here's one for you Britt he he he!

I have a ton more pics like this to come. I found some of my old negatives and took them to Costco and had them scanned in and put on a disc. It was so fun to see what silly pics from Band Camp and WG I had. Good times!

Teriyaki Beef

I meant to post this yesterday but never got to it...better late then never. This receipe comes from Jared so when he wrote it he was being a little silly.



Teriyaki Beef

2 lbs flank steak (cut into ¼ strips-make sure you cut AGAINTS the grain)
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
4 – 6 garlic cloves chopped
1 inch ginger root sliced (does not need to be peeled)
3 – 4 green onions sliced

Mix all those together (except meat) in a bowl of some sort. Insert hands into the mixture and grab the floating garlic, onion, and ginger and apply a generous amount of pressure using only your hands. This will help extract delicious flavors from those ingredients. Repeat 4 to 6 times.

To prepare the meat:
Place your flank steak on a cutting board. Cutting against the grain, cut strips of ¼”. This is the most crucial part of the recipe. Don’t screw it up.

Place meat in a 2 gallon zip lock bag and dump the marinade into the bag. Gently massage the bag so that the meat is evenly covered with delicious goodness. Place in refrigerator for 3 to 3 and ½ hours, but no longer.

Cook over hot coals for a few minutes per side…you’ll know when they are done.
Serve with sticky rice (sushi), not that other crap. It also goes well with mac salad, homemade of course.

Enjoy and don’t let the secret out.

I need your opinion...

Hi girls! I need your help with something. I've been working on my wedding pictures and I'm almost done. I'm working on journaling my pages and I wanted to ask your opinion. Should I write this as if my kids are reading this or as if I'm reading this or as if some complete stranger is reading this?

For example on this page I wrote "these are all of Shantell's friends that attended the ceremony" then I named everyone in the picture. Should I write it more like "these are all of my friends", Or "these are all of mom's friends?" I'm not sure how to do this. I always struggle with journaling.
