What's in your Fridge?

My family loves food! There was never a time growing up, when I looked in the fridge, and it was empty. Dad was always cooking up a storm in the kitchen. His great cooking was also popular amongst both Heather's friends and my friends, knowing that if they came over, he was sure to feed them something delightful.

Last night, after I got home from work, I opened the refrigerator door, leaned forward, and said, "I have nothing to eat!" This was of course a lie, I had plenty to eat. This also brought back a memory of yelling that same phrase to mom and dad just about everyday. We could hardly close the door to the fridge, yet I could NEVER find anything to put into my tiny belly. Also, I was reminded of this strange quark that I have: It doesn't matter who's house I am at, I WILL AT SOME POINT open up the refrigerator door and look to see what is inside. I can't help myself! And one might ponder whether or not I judge them based on the contents of their refrigerator? My answer: YES I DO!!! :P

This brings me to my question to anyone who might read this blog: WHAT'S IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR?

I encourage all you lovely people out there to take a picture of your freezer, your fridge, your cupboards, and post them on here, or even my facebook page if you prefer. I would love to peer into your refrigerators!

For those of you who are curious, here are some pictures of what my fridge looked like just the other day:





Before anyone judges me based on my cupboard, I would like to say after this picture was taken, I have reorganized, and it looks so much better...



For anyone who was wondering Trader Joes is the bomb! Get in your car, and pick some of this stuff up! It will totally rock your socks!

Hurry Back Emily and Nick! I Need Details!!!

Well, the suspense is killing me. I know that Nick popped the question, but I have not been able to get ahold of of them. Dan connected me to their hotel via google voice, but it was 3 a.m. for them. Although, it is a happy time for them, i'm sure getting woken up in the wee hours of the morning is not something they would love.

I just got a video from the two of them from the Tate Modern:



I couldn't download the movie, but at least there is a picture... It was a very daunting task to do so

That rock looks like it is bigger than Emily:)

Congratulations Emily and Nick!!!

This blog is in need of an update!

ooh lala.. this was not intended to be in my post, but now that it just took place in front of me, I must share. The coffee barisa (or is it a baristo if it is a guy?), just got friendly with who appeared to be just a customer, but must be his cowboy boyfriend! How exciting!

Now onto what I was going to talk about, the update:

Boy did October fly by! Halloween was as entertaining as it usually is. On Halloween Eves Eve, Dan and I went to Emily's friend Alexa's house for a part with both Nick and Emily. Due to the fact that Dan is the farthest thing from a Chilean Minor both in looks and height, he had to resort to plan B. Here is a picture that I will cherish always, Dan getting in touch with his inner Martha Stewart.







The following day, I went to my friend Steph's house for another Halloween party. As usual her friends and family guarantee for a good time, but let's not forget about the most important party guest there, Mr. Scoot. Although he seems to be hated by all, he is everyones favorite four legged creature to tease, I think that secretly, deep down everyone loves him, and would shed tears of sorrow if he was no longer there. This dog is my hero. Standing not even one foot tall, he seems to be invincible! According to Steph, earlier in the day he got into some of her sisters pills, including her prenatal vitamins. I hope that He is not trying to tell us that he got a sex change and is now in fact a she, and is expecting... I am not sure the world is ready for little scoot Jr's quite yet...

On Halloween, I ended up going to my parents house, where I was greeted by a pirate, as shark, and a darn cute tiger.




This little shark was both cranky and very very tired... He was NOT going to let me take a picture of him, but thanks to my sneaky aunt skills, I got a side view:)



This little tiger know how to work the camera! ROAR!!!!



What I love most of all about Halloween, is watching my father. Every year he seems to grumble about having to walk to and from the door handing out candy to all the little gremlins, but every year, he gets so excited when he opens the door and sees all of the kids in their costumes. He yells out to my mom, "JULIE!!! We've got a little princess at our door step!", or "JULIE! There is no need to worry anymore, because Batman is here to save us!" And, as usual, my dad ALWAYS has to keep track of how many kids come to the door. This year was record breaking!

Emily and Nick are currently in Paris and London right now, and I am taking care of their four legged baby, Gasthof. Nick has been doing a great job at keeping all of us up to date with what they are doing on their trip. Even more importantly, He has been taking pictures of Emily enjoying the yummy food. As a foodie, I greatly appreciate this. Thank You Nicholas! P.S. A little birdie has informed me of an engagement that has taken place:) It's about time! If only my phone would work and I could actually talk to them myself:( DARN YOU SPRINT!!!

Last weekend Dan and took Gasthof for a run around lake calhoun in this heat wave that we are having in November. Dan has also proven to be just as sneaky as me, leaving me a little note in my freezer,,, And what is even more surprising, is that I didn't see it until a couple days later! HA! There you have it Dan, I am not ALWAYS eating;p. That same evening we went to Martin and Malisa's wedding at the new Twins stadium. I have never been to a wedding at a stadium before, and It turned out to be a blast! It was so cool being at the stadium when the stands were empty. Here are a few pictures from the evening:

They set up one of those photo booths, and boy was that fun... Note to self...





I thought this was a really cool idea that they had for their wedding. As they stood before everyone, Martin whipped out the camera, and took pictures of everyone sitting down. They used this to make a panoramic image of all of their guest who shared in the celebration of their happy day.



I love love loved the coasters that they handed out to all of their guest! Martin later told Dan and I that both he and Malisa hand made all of these! Awesome Idea!



And what's a wedding without a little dancing!



Congrat's Martin and Malisa!
