Football Is Back!!!!

Well my friends.....Football is back! The College Football season opened up this week. As usual there were highs and lows for me as a College Football Fan.

The lows had to be my Ducks losing on Thursday to Boise State on the infamous Blue Turf and my Terps also lost in disturbing fashions to Cal. What made the Oregon lose even worse was the fact that one of the running backs, LeGarrette Blount, sucker punched one of Boise States players at the end of the game. Not very sportsman like. And the Maryland lose was pretty much embarrassing, 52 - 13......

Despite the loses of my favorite teams something else happened that made it all better.....That being Oklahoma losing to BYU. I really dont like Oklahoma, and pretty much never have. And them losing to a Non-BCS team made it all better. Despite the fact that I do not like Oklahoma I do feel bad for Sam Bradford was injured. I do realize that the injury was a big factor in the lose, but you cant take that away from BYU. As it may it's still as lose. This week 1 lose and a very tough Big 12 schedule hopefully means that they will not be in the National Championship picture come December.

Looking forward to a good season. Just a couple more weeks till NFL, Terri and I just got the NFL Season Ticket.....So it will be even better! I can now watch my Skins every week!

Stuffed!

Just got done eatin dinner. Im Hans Solo tonight so was pretty much just cookin whatever. I decided to go with Black Beans tonight. Took the beans and mashed them up some and added lemon zest, lemon juice, cilantro, dried blueberries, bread crumbs and egg white. Made the mixture into small patties and cooked each side to a crisp in some oil on the stove top. Then crumbled the patties up and put it on a tortilla with some green chilles and taco sauce. Good stuff........

Good News.....Bad News

Its been awile since I've posted anything about sports. So I figured this is as good of a chance as any. All I rally got for you is Good News.....and Bad News....

GOOD NEWS:

On Sunday my favorite Nascar driver Brian Vickers drove the number 83 Red Bull Racing Car into Victory Lane! This was Brian's second career victory and the first for Red Bull Racings Nascar Team. Well technically he didnt drive into victory lane.....He actualy ran out of gas after the race as he was driving to victory lane. The last few laps were nail bitters. Not only was Brian running out of gas, but several other drivers were as well. I wasnt sure he was going to have enough gas to make it. But sure enough he did. Way to go Brian!














BAD NEWS:

I dont think I really need to get into this one.........Yes that's A pic of Brett Farve...Yes he came out of retirement agian.....and yes he is now a Viking....

Long Time No Post

I decided to wipe the dust off the old blog today. The last month has been pretty busy with work, my parent visiting and Terri's sisters visiting. Im pretty much taking this weekend to do as little as possible.

When my parents came down we hit up the Aquarium, Botanical Gardens, and Cyclorama and should them some cool dinning spots in the city. We really had a good time. It was also great for Terri to finally meet them.

The next weekend Terri's sisters came into town. On Friday they went on a shopping bonanza. On Saturday we hung out all day and went to the Braves game in the afternoon. We had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed meeting Terri's sisters. They were a blast!

Relaxing Start To The Weekend

Terri an I decided to stay home over the 4th extended weekend to save some cash. But still tried to enjoy it as much as possible! Our Thursday started off by going to Marietta to play some golf, see Terri's Blog. After golf we hit up the Farmers Market to stock up on some groceries. After that we decided to use the new grill and make some pizza! We were going to make the dough......But didnt have the time or a bread machine. So we bought some premade crusts. We made our own sweet and zesty pizza sauce. Terri put basil and tomato on hers. And I had Hamburger and BACON! Using the grill to cook the pizza was alot of fun and added to the taste. After cooking the pies up we enjoyed our meal with some brews and UNO!

Time To Celebrate

The past two weeks have been full of some good times for Terri and I. Last Friday we celebrated Terri's birthday. We decided to keep it chill and go out to a nice dinner and enjoy each others company. So I took her to Restaurant Eugene. Instead of ordering of the menu we decided on a seven course dinner with wine pairing. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!! We both agreed that it was one of the top meals that we have had. Then we celebrated one year toghether last night at Zuma Sushi. If you like sush give it a try, we loved it! Very tastful and generous portion sizes. And to top it off we are going to IMAX this weekend to see....you guessed it.....TRANSFORMERS!!!!!

Thanks for a fun two weeks and one fabulous year Cook!!!!

What's New

Well nothing.....But it's been a while since I posted anything so figured I should.

May was a really tiring month for me and am so glad that it is done. As per the usually I worked myself sick with both of the groups I had this month. Which I must say is getting old.

Been working on getting Magnus's new digs all set up as well. Ben adding some plants (fake) and some trees (fake). Also got my heating problem for the tank solved. I ended up bying a heat panel and fastend it to the top of the cage

Neither of teams made it to the Stanley Cup. And I hate the Red Wings and eally dislike the Penguins....So the Stanley Cup does not really matter that much to me this year. Muh like last year since it is a rematch.

Well that's about it..
