Top 5 Thursday

Inspired by Go East Memphis Momma,  I decided to display a list of my top 5 hottest Actors list.  This is part of Top Ten Thursday, except I couldn't decide on 10 so I cut it to top 5.  Go Visit In the mommy Trenches to play along.

Patrick Dempsy.  Hello Beautiful, you sole my heart in Grey's Anatomy, and for some reason lots of people think my Husband looks like you...when he was younger, skinner, and shaven.  Maybe it's the scrubs that make you so attractive.. then again, maybe it's just you!

Matt Damon will always be sexy in my eyes.  He has that "boy next door" look that makes you feel like he's perfect in everyway.  His shy attitude it also a big turn on!

Oh My Hugh Jackmon you. are. so. beautiful..to me.  You are in a three way tie for first place by the way.  Can we makeout?  Can I play with your hair?

Seriously..the man just gets sexier with age.  He is so much hotter as a silver stud than he was when he was younger.  Thank you for being so beautiful Pierce.  Thank you

Brad Pitt will always be the hottest man alive in my book...even if he did divorce Jen and get with that skank.   He's personality seems so playful and he is just so darn good looking.  Especially in Legends of the fall when he has all that hair! Oh Momma! He's too beautiful to look at!  His skin should shine in the sunlight! 

Well that's my list!!   Play along!

Birdie and Potato Soup

Birdie is no longer a puppy.  She is officially a woman...meaning she "started" or in dog terms she came into heat.  We bought her planning to breed her and raise puppies so naturally we didn't get her fixed.  I've never had to experience this before so it was a little shocking at first.  It also brings a tear to my eye to know my little puppy is no longer.

I was a little worried that she would never come into heat because of how small she is.  My parents have a really old really small black female lab named Jazz who was never able to have puppies and I always just assumed it was because she was so small.  I still hope Bird doesn't have any problems, but we're going to wait until at least next year to try and breed her and I can't wait to see all her little puppies!!

I'm keeping her in her pen during the day and since it's gotten so dang cold here at night I keep her inside, which presented a small problem.  So I went to petco.com and found her a little diaper to wear at night and she looks so dang cute in it!!!

It's a blue jean diaper with green ruffles around her tail.  It comes with disposable inserts for easy clean up.  

I mean how cute is this little butt??    (ignore my folded rug)

And just for those of you who have pets.. Petco.com has most of everything way cheaper online than in stores! I found the diaper online for 10 bucks cheaper than in the store, shipping included!!

And now that I've given you way TMI on my dog.  I wanted to give you THE BEST POTATO SOUP RECIPE EVER!!!!!

I made this for bible study one time and it was a huge hit!!  Since it's been so dang cold lately I thought a Hot Potato Soup Recipie was in order..

Ingredients:
6 red potatoes
6 slices bacon, diced
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cube chicken boullion
1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup vinegar
2 teaspons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions:
Clean and scrub baking potatoes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.  Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes.  Drain, cool and cut into thick slices; place slices in a large bowl.

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet.  Cook over medium high heat until crisp.  Stir the onion and celery into the skillet and cook gently until the vegetables turn yellow.

Dissolve the bouillion cube in boiling water and stir in the vinegar, salt and pepper.  Pour the broth mixture into the skillet with the bacon/onion mixture and bring water to a boil.

Add the egg slowly, stirring until the mixture is slightly thickened.  Pour the vegetable mixture over the potatoes, add parsley and toss lightly  (I also added shredded cheese to the top of mine) 

I found this recipe online but can't remember where...sorry! Hope you enjoy!!  Have a great day!

When Bambi met Sean.

WARNING:  Wordful Wednesday's Post is a little graphic today, for those of you who don't get to experience living with a hunter like I do, you might not want to read this post.

So what is Sean doing in this photo you ask??    Sharpening his knife.  Why? 

Because he killed a Unicorn.  Or at least that's what he told me when he called me from the deer stand.  I believe his exact words were,  "I've killed the most elusive animal in the world, Jenna a unicorn!"  He needed his knife sharp to skin it and cut out the meat so we can eat him!  We LOVE deer meet and deer sausage and deer chili and deer jerky and deer burgers and deer... well I guess that's about it

He's seen this deer every year for three years and for the last three years it's only grown one horn.  He wanted to kill it to get it out of the breeding gene pool.  (It was my Idea to put his hand up in place of the horn..I thought it was funny last night...now..not so much)

Banjo had to get in close for a sniff,  I think he was dreaming of all the table scraps he would get from this guy later on.

Birdie, was quite curious,  Banjo was around last deer season and knew what he was dealing with,  Birdie was very intrigued.  Banjo tried to explain to her that he was dead and we were going to eat him later, but Birdie kept barking like a maniac. 

Oh and Sean also killed this demon.  The Coyote.  They get after the calves during calving season and so Sean is happy to kill them at any time. 

This was a big coyote.  He was bigger than Birdie and Banjo.  Banjo was scared of him and Birdie constantly growled at it.  I'd never heard her growl before and for a little girl she has a very intimidating growl.  (I edited the photo because I didn't think you wanted to look at his innards)

And now just because I exposed you to that gruesome post of photos, I thought I'd leave you with this cute picture I found on Google, to erase the dead animals from your brain...

You're welcome.
