Halibut!!!!

So tonight was my first night ever making halibut!!!! I tired looking online for recipes but everything was really complex, so I called Grandma for some fish cooking advice. She didn't know so she told me to call Aunt Tracy and Uncle Charles. Lucky for me, Aunt Tracy was still up and she told me to just kinda take info from the confusing recipes online and come up with something easy to do.

Kat's Halibut Recipe:

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
-Take the halibut steaks and wash them off and roll them in flour.
-Then take the steaks and cover with melted butter and then roll it in bread crumbs.
-Take some lemon juice and squeeze over the steaks when they're on the pan.
-Throw them in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, I flipped mine about half way though and then squeezed lemon on the other side of them.

I also experimented with Portabella Mushrooms:
-Wash and cut the mushrooms into half inch thick slices.
-Drop the slices in a bowl of oil or melted butter.
-Let the excess oil dip off and put them on a plate and sprinkle with onion salt, salt, and pepper.
-I baked the mushrooms in a brownie pan with the gills of the mushrooms facing up at 400 degrees for about 20 to 30 minutes.


We also made Roman lettuce salad:)


Derek said that it was better then his mom's halibut!!! It was my first time too!!! I was very proud of myself that I actually made a decent dinner :)


I highly recommend trying it :)

Let me know what you think!!!!!!

I was figuring my way around the blog site, and I clicked on "next", and I got a bunch of bare naked women. Maybe we should not click the next button.

TV Show

An original tv series on AMC called Mad Men, built around the sixties, an ad agency. It is pretty good. Over Labor Day there will be a marathon of the first 7 shows. It would be a good time to catch up on it. That's what I'm going to do.

Your Mom (Grandma) and I were in Menards today. They had this life size mummy on display for Holloween. We both started laughing as it brought back memories of our time at Wurtsmith. Don't know if any of you remember about the "Incident" with Mike that Holloween.
He went to some kind of party at the school which was off base. Your Mom and I think some of you guys spent a lot of time wrapping himn up as a mummy. The problem came about when whoever it was giving him a ride back to the base didn't have a base decal on their car and couldn't get on base. Mike decided to solve this problem by going thru the woods and thru a hole in the fence. Mike would have to confirm this but what I think what happened is the security police seen him and gave chase. I was working that night at the teen center and everybody was talking about this mummy being chased through base housing, I had no idea they were talking about Mike. I think Mike told me that by the time he got home, police never did catch him, most of the wrappings had come off in the chase. Long time ago!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR

What makes a home a home?

FLU ALERT!!!!!!

Well the flu is making it's way around the office at work. PRAY that I don't get it!!!! Apparently it's a 24 hour one, but regardless, it's the flu. I've been basically bathing in anti-bacterial here at work doing my best to ward it off.

What are everyone's plans for the weekend? Derek is taking me out to dinner tonite :) I guess to some amazing Mexican restaurant in Kuna where he lives (about 20 minutes from Boise) and then to a movie I believe. Saturday I think we're going to hang out with some of our friends, and then Sunday is....SEAFOOD SUNDAY!! Derek and I always go out and feed the ducks in the park then stop by the grocery store and pick up a TON of seafood and go back to my house and make it :) Sundays have started to become my favorite day because of it :) then of course chuch at 7:30

Well I wish everyone a good safe weekend!! TGIF!!!!! Woot!

Getting rid of stuff brings up stuff

Take a good look at the sheets on the bed on the right where I am. I still have them, or at least the flat sheet. It's in my attic along with an assortment of other mismatched sets. To give you an idea of how long ago that was, that's Sarah on the cot next to me.

A friend is having a garage sale this Saturday and and he invited me to bring over whatever I wanted to sell. Because it isn't likely that I'll get around to organizing my own sale, I'll lug a carload of stuff over to St. Paul to see if I can get any money for sheets that are at least 20 years old and other odds and ends that I have collected over the years.

Actually, that isn't much, really. When I moved to Minneapolis 10 years ago, I basically fit everything I had into a hatchback. Apparently, these sheets made the cut for some reason.

It's especially hard to part with things that were gifts, or things that remind me of a certain time in my life, like the boom box that Mom and Dad got me when I graduated from college. It's the same one that they have (or had?) in their living room for many years. Whenever I think of Mom and Dad's boom box, Ann Murray is singing Christmas songs on it. As for mine, the tape deck quit working practically the day that I got it. The CD player eventually went too, which means that it's basically a radio which I keep in he laundry room. Maybe I'll want a radio like that in the laundry room of the house Brian and I enventually buy.

As I sift through the boxes in the attic, one minute I think it's best to unload this stuff. The next minute I think that an extra TV set might come in handy for a guest room or the garage. Then I think, we've got five TV sets between the two of us, not counting a pocket-sized set that Brian uses to keep track of baseball games while I dash into a store. I don't even like television! Then I think, I remember getting that set for Christmas. Amy got one exactly like it.

Good grief.

Where is everyone?

Why is there only 5 people on this thing!!?? Where is everyone else!??!? I like this idea and everyone should join in, I think it's the best way that we can all keep in contact with each other.


On Sunday, July 19, 2007 I was baptized again. It was one of the most memorable and emotional experiences of my life that I will never forget. It was actually at a church function that the Calvery church I attend was having and at the end of the celebration, you had a chance to be baptized in the Boise River. Derek (my boyfriend) his dad and I all went down to the bank and I was baptized fully clothed, dunked and everything :) It was just a great feeling to wash away all my previous sins and start over again. I highly suggest it.
