i made chicken adobo in the crockpot yesterday (with chicken breasts and I added broccoli for the last hour) and it was pretty tasty. soy sauce and vinegar make an interesting flavor combination. next time i’m going to add some sriracha sauce

hail storm!!!
Posted by carrie on 26 Mar 2009 | Tagged as: General
we had a crazy hail storm around 5:30pm last night in northwest austin! we don’t think we had any damage but still need to check out the roof. check out the hail here. i took these 10-15 minutes AFTER it stopped and since it was about 80 outside the hail had already melted a lot. michelle took this video about 5-10 miles from us.

the fact that today marks the one year anniversary of sam’s and my first date! we met at ranch 616 for dinner and then went over to antone’s for junior brown. i was late and inadvertently made fun of his car, but luckily he was understanding about it. we later discovered that both of us often had random people ‘befriend’ us at shows/bars/etc when we ‘made friends’ with some drunk guys at antone’s. when one of them asked us how long we’d been married, we figured that looking that comfortable with each other within hours of meeting must be a good sign
happy 12th 12th, sam! xoxo

This is my first day at work since 12-19. I also have not been out of bed before 9am since then. Today is dragging. Heather suggested that we should have a half day on our first day back and I totally agree.
I was sick over most of the break (stupid, nausea provoking Z-pack) but I still got a lot of stuff done on my list.
- I made cookies with Jenn’s help
- Sam, Mike and I had Christmas with Jackie, David, Luke, Calvin over at their place on Tuesday
- Sam and I went to Ft Worth to see his mom on Christmas Eve, have some late night Christmas Eve drinks at a great dive bar and spend time with his dad and Nancy on Christmas day
- I spent Christmas night with Audrey, Annie, Josh, Albert and Rocky down south
- I went to a party at my old house to hear Cairo stories from Gordana and Mark
- Sam and I finished up Hanukkah
- I painted the living room, dining room, and bar
- We had some people over for NYE
- I painted the guest room (no pictures yet!) – ok, Sam helped this time
- I (embarassingly) read all four of the Twilight books
And Sam and Rocky and I got to hang out and have a lot of fires.
I did not get to make split pea soup since two HEBs were out of split peas on Sunday. I did not organize the bathroom cabinets. I also did not make chex party mix. Sigh. Maybe I’ll get to some more stuff this weekend.
But BIG NEWS! My house is under contract! The closing date is set for 1-28 so everyone keep your fingers crossed!!
And here’s the link to all the pictures from Hanukkah, Christmas, NYE and the whole break. Well, but still not the guest room pics. Those are coming soon!

new phone!!
Posted by carrie on 15 Dec 2008 | Tagged as: General
sam got me a new phone on saturday! it’s really supposed to be one of my Hanukkah or Christmas presents but he really had to get a new one now so i got my present a little early. sadly, my old sim card died when the sprint guy tried to move my contacts over so i’ve lost all my phone numbers. but how cool is my new phone even if i can’t call anyone from it?? it has gps! and the internet! and a full slide out keyboard!
december??

i cannot believe it’s only 2 weeks until christmas! how did this happen??
i hope to have all the pictures from our thanksgiving trip to pittsburgh up later today.
it’s been COLD here! it SNOWED on tuesday night! SNOWED! it’s crazy. we do get snow occasionally but never this early in the winter. sam came in from getting more firewood and threw some snow at me. i was pretty surprised!
the cold seems to have brought out more deer too. i let rocky out the back door this morning and he went CRAZY. i followed him out and saw a huge deer about 3 feet from the fence. i clapped and scared both rocky and the deer. rocky just kept barking and the deer took off and tried to hide behind some trees. sam’s pretty sure that the deer could have taken the rock if there had been a fight
and………… HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!
chinese food
Posted by carrie on 26 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: cooking
since going gluten-free i have really missed eating chinese food. especially dishes with breaded chunks of chicken. mmmmmm. i do love pf chang’s spicy chicken but sometimes a girl wants some variety! so last night i made spicy chinese chicken with broccoli (i used a huge chicken breast instead of the thighs) and crock pot hot and sour soup (with lots of extra vinegar and pepper flakes and a dash of hot chili oil!). we had a feast and it was GOOOOD. i don’t think anyone would even know that the fried chicken was gluten free. i can’t wait for leftovers tonight!
