Water skiing

I actually got up on water skis and managed to hang on for a good 5 minutes or so, this has been a long time a coming. I went for a week end visit at my brother’s summer beach house, where he has all of his water toys at hand and we had ourselves a blast this time around, and the weather was perfect the whole time for a change.

I have always enjoyed water sports, swimming, boating, rafting, fishing, tubing, but have never been able to get myself up and out of the water each time that I have attempted to water ski, so this came as a big surprise and helped end the summer on a high note! And one of my nieces got the whole thing on video to be shown, I’m sure, during one of the family holiday season get togethers that will be here soon, ugh…

It has a good beat and it’s easy to dance to – I give it a 10!

By now I’m sure just about everyone has had the opportunity to hear the newest “girl song” that is growing very quickly to the top of the charts, that is called I Kissed A Girl and I Liked It by the artist Katy Perry and if for some unknown reason you haven’t heard it,  just click on the link provided below to the hear the song, you can also watch the video and the lyrics are printed out for you there also.

Another great “girl song” called Girls just want to have fun, comes to mind by Cindy Lauper.

 

I kissed a girl and I liked it.

Solar powered cell phones are in the near future

Seems that Motorola has applied for a patent for a solar powered cellphone and although it will probably not be enough to fully recharge the phone it will help for those days when you just can not plug in to the wall.

I’m very interested to see just how good it works and how much it charges for I certainly would consider buying one when it I can hear a bit more about it and see if it really is worth getting into. Anything I can do in order to keep thing as GREEN as I can in my little world.

Crab Cakes

A customer of mine brought me some fresh crab meat (2 pounds of it) at work last night, along with a sample of and a recipe for the most amazing tasting crab cakes that I have had the pleasure of cooking tasting.

I’m looking forward to trying out the recipe tonight and testing it out on a few friends that I have invited over to play cards with tonight. I’m sure that they will all be surprised that I actually cooked something for our night of card playing, usually the best that they get around here is chips and dip, maybe a few fresh veggies or fruit, but never any type of home cooking.

I am gladly passing this recipe on to you to try if and when you get your hands on some delicious crab meat.

  • 1 Tbl. Mayo
  • 1 Tbl. Mustard
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 Cup Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 Tbl. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 small Onion (finely diced)
  • 1 Pound of Fresh Crab Meat

This one is real simple, combine all the ingrediants, salt and pepper to taste and fry the made up patties in hot oil.
