Lessons Learned

Learned two lessons yesterday. One - There's a lot about cooking and chemistry I don't know.

And Two - NEVER cook milk on the stove top if it's starting to go sour. Here's the story behind it.

Before I ever pour milk into a bowl of cereal, I take a whiff to make sure it's still good since we all know there's almost nothing worse than taking a spoonful of delicious cereal goodness with nasty spoiled milk. So yesterday was no exception. I took a whiff and could tell the milk was starting to go a bit sour. It had that kind of fruity smell, but still seemed like it could be salvaged. So I thought, maybe if I heat it on the stove top to make cream of wheat it won't be as noticeable.

HOLY COW I couldn't have been more wrong. Not only did the milk start to curdle, but the smell went from slightly sour fruity smell to straight up PUKE smell and permeated the whole friggin' downstairs. Super dang nasty.

Note to self - never ever ever heat up milk reaching it's expiration date on the stove. ew.

WICKED

I forgot to post about the show...
Well, it was awesome. I had never been to a broadway musical before and was surprised at how awesome it sounded in person. It was like a CD was playing - it was clear and crisp - just amazing. And the story itself was very clever. Nathan really enjoyed it (I knew he would be he was skeptical). Anyone that somewhat enjoys music and the movie the Wizard of Oz will get a kick out of this show. And there are tickets for around $30. And there isn't a bad seat in the house. The only draw back - the songs will be forever stuck in your head...
Seriously, we both wake up with the songs playing in our heads. (I guess it doesn't help that we got the soundtrack). But we stopped listening to it and STILL wake up with those songs in our heads. Granted, they're fun songs, but I don't necesarily want to be singing them all day long. Oh well.

Does it smell like updog in here?

Anyone remember this joke??? CLASSIC and HILARIOUS. I taught it to my niece and nephews while in Washington (a huge hit I might add). Never gets old. For those of you less fortunate to not have ever played this joke here it is...

Ask someone the question, "does it smell like updog in here?"
To which most people will inevitably reply, "what's updog?"
And then you say, "nothing what's up with you?!"
And then laugh your head off while they're scratching their head. LOVE IT!!!! bahahhaahahah

By they way, if you don't get the joke, you're probably not cool enough to use it so I'm not going to explain it. KIDDING. I'll give a hint, instead of spelling DOG, substitute with DAWG...

Washington

We were able to visit some family in Washington a couple weeks ago. Too much fun to write all out. But I wanted to comment on how friggin' clean that place is! Not to mention the greenest place I've ever seen. They don't even have billboards there which was so weird to not see any but made the place look even cleaner. And get this...while sitting outside, we saw a BALD EAGLE just hanging out flying low overhead. I was like "oh cool, check out that hawk!" And then I was like "hmmm, hawk with a white head...never seen one like that before..." And then it quickly registered in my brain what I was actually seeing. Neat-o! I mean, maybe I don't get out much, but never seen one of those in the wild.

5 Years baby!!

Heck yes! Our 5 year anniversary is tomorrow! Wow-wee that sounds like forever but feels like only a couple of years. And it's cool tomorrow cause it's the same day of the week we were married on. So if you're putting that together, we were married on Friday the 13th!!! Good thing we're not superstitious.
So Nate surprised me with tickets to WICKED!! I'm pretty darn excited. I don't know that the seats are that great, but I've got binoculars so I'm good. I'll have to post again after we go tomorrow. Super darn dang crazy excited here people.
