The World Cup!

Did you want the final game of the World Cup?

We watched, I love soccer and was really excited for the grand finale.

My son loves soccer and played until he went to college.

Two world class teams, he was rooting for Spain, so I was as well.

I enjoyed the game because Spain played so well, but they sure did have a hard time scoring.

If you watched, you know the game was pretty lopsided, it went into overtime and Spain was victorious.

The better team won 1 - 0.

It was so exciting that the final was played in New Jersey...less than an hour from my home.

That did not mean we could get tickets...availability was so limited and the cost was outrageous!

I enjoyed the way the field looked at halftime and it was nice they had a show at halftime.

They never have in the past!

I made my version of the Taco Bell Supreme Wrap.

I used this recipe as a guide, one big difference was I just used pre-packaged taco seasoning.

These are the ingredients I used...

an extra large flour tortilla, topped with seasoned ground beef, then topped with a tostada.

Next I layered sour cream, lettuce, taco blended cheese, chopped red onion and tomatoes.

It needs to be topped with a smaller flour tortilla and then folded,


this part is not difficult.

Toast with a small amount of olive oil, folded side first.

Then flip and toast the flat side.

"walla"

It was fun, easy and tasted just like a taco, just a little different.

Shrek The Musical

I have written before about the live shows we attend at a local arts theater.

On Saturday the cast at The Algonquin Theater performed 

- Shrek The Musical -

We had tickets for the 2 p.m show on Saturday.

We like these matinees, it's a lot easier for the hubs to stay awake.

The show was magnificent.

Pictures were not allowed during the show but they were allowed during the curtain call.

After the show we went for pizza and it was drizzling. 

When we got to the restaurant, no rain...when we left after we finished eating, no rain.

As we were walking to the car, I said, "WoW we really lucked out with the rain".

The minute I got those words out of my mouth it really came down in buckets...

we got soaked running to the car.

I mention this part of the evening because a lot of rain and big storms were forecasted for Saturday.

It was fun, we did not have any "pina coladas", but it was fun just the same.

When we got home, the skies really opened up and we had torrential rain.

I was so happy to be home, I enjoy a good storm more when I am home and cozy!
