Snow Day!

I know that practically everywhere got snow yesterday but I just wanted to drop a picture I took coming out of Best Buy last night.

Testing 1. 2. 3. - Blogpress

I'm testing out a new app I got today called blogpress. To sum it up it just let's you blog from your iPhone with text and picture.

So as I've been trying to drop a few lbs the past month and I've been looking around and experiment with a lot of new ways to cook and eat. One substitute that I've been trying to implement is the turkey. So lean, so good with stuffing, but boy is it dry when you grind it up. By no way has it ever compared to ground beef when you're making burgers because lets face it, the fat from beef just melts in our mouth. . mmm. I've tried probably 3 times before yesterday to cook some type of meal with ground turkey and every time the outcome is DRY, DRY, DRY.

Then comes allrecipes.com. I've used the site a lot to try new stuff but yesterday I stumbled upon one entitled "Moist Turkey Burgers." The trick to making these burgers sooo moist is by sauteing the chopped onions (not too much) in a pan before you add it to the ground turkey to make the patties. I added fresh garlic to the mix and it tasted great. I'm sorry that I didn't take a picture because it was amazing but I'll just steal one from google and call it done. BOO ya!

(By the way, I so didn't add the red cabbage stuff - I added an avacado. ymmm)

Callie & Andrew

Not too long ago, Shelby's sister and soon to be brother-in-law Andrew had their engagement pictures taken at Meemaw's house in Tomball. I can't tell you how many times I walked by that barn and never thought that such cool pictures could come it. Enough talking, here's the pics. (The 1st is my fav)

By the way, Tyan did all of these while she was about to go into labor, j/k but she was really far along in her pregnancy.

Going to Med School

So Joe and Breanna have been peer pressuring Shelby and I to post more often so here is try number 24 on trying to jumpstart our blog. I got the new template, new update, and now I just need the motivation. As far as what's new in good ol' College Station, I was accepted by Baylor College of Medicine for the Fall 2010 entry class. We'll be moving a little closer to a few of y'all but will be leaving others. We're excited and look forward to the change and challenges that are coming our way.

As for other news, I'll save it all for another post so I don't run out of ideas.

Here's a pic from my graduation.

This past weekend was awesome. We headed up to good ol' Oklahoma, to the small town of Duncan - population 22,531. We arrived Thursday night with just enough time to unpack and crawl in bed. The next morning we hit the lake (Clear Creek Lake) at the break of dawn. Callie and Andrew had fixed up the boat so we just wanted to take it out and giver her a test run before Saturday. The lake was glassy and perfect for swimming.

Later that evening we headed to Lawton (nearby big town) to attend the Tim McGraw concert. Before though, we were able to hit up a local Korean restaurant. Needless to say, everyone tried the kimchee at least once, and everyone liked the bulgolgi. The concert was a lot of fun with all the people, the lights, and most of all the music. It ended up being another late night as we all crawled into bed.

Saturday morning was a blast, as we once again headed off to the lake to go skiing. One by one each person took turns trying out the skis until we had all taken a turn. The lake was pretty nice because not many boats had showed up for the 4th. After we got back to the house (which by the nice was amazing) a rainstorm showed up and canceled all the firework shows. Improvising we popped in "New in Town" (2 thumbs up) and watched it while Shelby worked on her WIP in the background. It was a fun filled, feel good movie worth watching with anybody.

Sunday was filled with a lot driving as we headed back to the best state in the world, TEXAS (followed by Oklahoma). In Decatur we ate lunch at the Armadillo Grill and had the best ribs in the world. Then just 3 more hours and we were home sweet home. It was all a blast, thanks to Callie and Andrew for the great weekend.

Here's a movie of the weekend.
