Disney-Themed Wedding
I am one of those people that loves weddings. Even if I were invited to someone’s wedding that I hardly know I would be that chick in the back silently crying as the couple says their vows. Not only do I love weddings, I love a themed wedding, let alone a Disney-themed wedding.

Birthday Time!
Today is my 27th birthday! I will be taking the next week off from posting. I just want to say that, so far, my week has been incredible. On Sunday I saw the latest Avengers movie and bought some kick-ass running shoes and insoles. On Wednesday, I went to Hollywood to see a couple of Finnish metal bands. Yesterday, I was able to go on a somewhat lengthy run for the first time since I got patellar tendinitis pretty bad a few months ago. The run was such a treat, I cannot even say. Tonight, I am seeing another live show, this time a couple of ska bands. Finally, tomorrow we are off to Disneyland for the weekend. It’s definitely not every year that I do this much for my birthday. I am super lucky. Cheers everyone and see you in a week.

Chocolate Meeting
At work we have monthly meetings where lunch and, usually, some sort of sweet treat is provided. Every once and a while I have the desire and energy to make a dessert to bring. This time I decided to do a variety of chocolates. There is so much one can do with chocolate. Chocolate cups are a great opportunity to get creative and utilize random things in your fridge or pantry. I made a white chocolate with fresh raspberries, a milk peanut powder chocolate with fresh strawberries, a semi-sweet chocolate with unsweetened coconut and dehydrated banana (you may notice the banana from an earlier post), and a 60% cacao dark chocolate with heirloom popcorn made with olive oil and topped with sea salt. I brought 12 of each and displayed them on a pretty 3 tier tray. I totally forgot to take a picture (that would have been nice) but remembered just in time to take a shot of the leftovers. The chocolates were a big hit.

Badger & Crockett
Two of my favorite Australian Shepherds… ever. Not only are these two blue Merle litter mates absolutely adorable but they have tails! Aussie’s tails are normally cropped at birth but these guys have big beautiful bushy tails and its adorable. Also, they are very well trained. They know countless tricks and I love watching them just as much as they like treats… maybe almost as much.
Could this puppy be any more precious? His name is Boomer.

Dragon Fruit
This fruit is so gorgeous in both appearance and flavor, it makes one wonder at nature for creating such a thing. The ranch I live on grows them but, considering that it’s a $1,000 fine to take fruit off the vine, I was happy to buy this relatively small to medium sized one for $8 to see what all of the fuss was about. Before eating the white flesh with a spoon I did a little research on the description of it’s flavor and found that the “cross between a kiwi and a pear” was not too far off base. I would add, however, that in taste it is more like a kiwi than a pear and in texture it is more like a pear than a kiwi. The little black seeds are a great textural element to the fruit. All and all, I would say the $8 was well worth it.
