Fajita eats shrimp....a shark update

Posted by Tim // 6 Replies

Our little shark Fajita has grown like a weed.

Probably because I fix him up a big shrimp cocktail every other night.

Christina always says it looks like I am giving the shrimp a dip in a hot tub, to bad I follow it up with slicing the shrimp in pieces. Loses the relaxing vibe, eh? I finally have Fajita eating straight from my hands, which will come in handy once he is over three feet. I still usually use an extension rod to feed him, since I am quite partial to my fingers.

In fact, at the beginning, he got a little rowdy and took a nip at me.

Please disregard our awesome basement complete with lots of 2×4’s and little boy racecar curtains.

See how our shrimp is hitching a ride on the shark? Bet ya didn’t know he is actually picking his brethren out of Fajita’s gills to get a late night snack. You little cannibal you.

How long do you think before I lose a finger?
Think a shrimp fajita sounds tasty?
Want to buy some racecar curtains?

STL Bloggers January Meetup at Ces & Judy...

Posted by Christina // 24 Replies

This weekend was a complete whirlwind.
The highlight was visiting Ces & Judy’s for our monthly STL Bloggers meet up.

The fine folks at Ces & Judy’s slaved all day in the kitchen, and boy am I thankful. I kind of wish they would move in and make me delicious food all day.

Oh wait, you didn’t know that Ces & Judy’s did more than cater?
It’s okay, neither did I.

Get ready to be amazed, and slightly jealous because I totally parade our good eats all over this post. Hope you’re not hungry. The amazing Jenna Stratman hosted our little shindig and was even sweeter than the brownies they fed us. I was so excited to see the venue part of Ces & Judy’s since it was completely renovated last fall.

My favorite room was the round room. It was so cozy and architecturally interesting. And can I tell you how happy I am to not see red and gold tacky carpet. You know what I am talking about, right?

Thank goodness when they remodeled, Ces & Judy’s went with a more neutral look. I’m just saying brides….this will totally go with your colors, no matter what they are. Ces & Judy’s has got your back. Rachael from StyleEveryDay.com was better prepared than I was. I completely forgot all cameras AND business cards, social networking queen right here. The whole venue was stunning, but here’s what took my breath away. Oh that food was so magically delicious. Minus the leprechaun.

If you remember the baby shower I planned then you know I am all for letting someone else doing all of your cooking and cleaning. It is just so much easier, and I am putting Ces & Judy’s on my party places list.

Now who can I throw a party for?

A huge thanks to the St. Louis Bloggers and Ces & Judy’s for throwing such an amazing event. While Jenna did offer us a free meal for posting about their lovely space the thoughts and praise are all my own. Especially about that carpet, thank goodness for non-tacky carpet.

Make sure you check out all our awesome St. Louis Bloggers.
Yokasta, Jill, Clare, Courtney, Katie, Jenny, Karen, Rachael, Ashley.

When I dip, you dip, I dip....

But no double-dipping.

I wanted to share one of my new favorite go to snacks, because you all deserve to know about this deliciousness.

Bonus: It’s stupidly simple.

First, you go buy this little jar of goodness.

Tim and I somehow were lucky enough to be at Schnucks when they were giving out samples of the tastiness above.

Now, we are hooked. Suckers. It’s just so easy.

All we do is get a brick of Cream Cheese. We buy the diet kind cream cheese so that my thighs don’t start looking like the Mars photos they are sending back. Anyways, brick of cream cheese and spread this dip right over the top of it.

Then, this is the tricky part…you dip a cracker in it.

It is so tasty, very sweet although it doesn’t look as good as it tastes. In fact, my tip is don’t stir it up until you have tried it or you may not eat it. Not exactly Top Chef worthy on the visual aspect but it will make your taste buds sing with glee.

You’re welcome.
