Some things as of late...

First off, thanks for the comments and words of inspiration from my last post. It was much needed and seemed well recepted. I'm encouraged and will try to find more meaningful things to say!

So I just thought I'd post some pictures of happenings lately. The first is to state something John has done with his birthday money. He bought 2 suits (which were greatly needed). I only have a picture of 1 however. His other suit is a light grey almost cream color. It's pretty awesome. He didn't like posing for me but here he is anyway.
Handsome guy!

So I have cats and they are so fun. They love to do random things like climb up our drapes and hang out on the curtain rod...

Something else we're really into is cooking. Well it comes and it goes. It mostly comes when John watches a lot of Food Network and wants to create meals he sees. Ever watch Good Eats with Alton Brown? Oh yeah!!! If it looks good to me then we both get inspired! So, we did this pretty much... minus the home made tortillas and use of tequila...


Ours:

For some reason I can't remember we decided to also do some sweet pulled pork tacos. We got that recipe from a blog who copied it from Costa Vida's recipe (or close to it). It was a yummy food night! The pulled pork looked so delicious, I had to take a picture of it,


The second time we made the pork we tried it with nachos and tostadas. Also very very yummy!!! BUT this time just yesterday I told John I wanted to try the pork in enchiladas. I think he was a little hesitant but I just knew I could do it. My mom made Mexican food A LOT and although she didn't force me to learn from her, I think I caught on to a thing or two. Once the pork was done slow cooking, I made the enchiladas. They had the sweet pork, lots of cheese, a few black beans inside and on top we did a drop of sour cream and some black olives, as well as some rice and beans on the side to give it that restaurant look (even with the melted cheese on the frijoles). John was impressed and surprised and complimented me by saying it was his favorite thing I've ever made and also the best thing I've ever made. I was a little surprised too! I took a few bites before realizing I should take a picture but here is that picture,


That's it for now, more to come another time probably soon!
