Girls Day Out, Pulled Pork and a Meteor?

Hello Lovelies!

This is more of a Weekend Wrap Up! Only really concerns one day but meh...whatever.

Saturday was a stellar day for me and with those being so few and far between I felt I had to share. Saturdays are the only day of the week where the men are gone and the girls have the whole house to ourselves. So with that we start our day out with morning coffee out on the deck and usually me, Sese, Bean and Blondunicorn having our morning chat.

What happened last night?
What's going on today?
Who's doing what to who?
and for some reason we always end up talking about boobs...is this normal?

It is for us it is!

So our day started out with a plan. I had been talking all week about making Pulled Pork in the slow cooker so we set out to go shopping for ingredients. We had a plan to stop at the neighbourhood PUB for lunch but oh look... There's McDonald's! So that's what we did.

On the way back full of giggles and food we headed for home, once we got there though hmmm...mommy lost her shit!

Our dogs are never alone...like ever not that they haven' been left alone before but it's very very rare that there is no one home. That being said I opened the door and they had garbage trailing from one end of the house to the other. I knew which dog started it ( Whiskey ) which dog aided ( California ) and which dog thought screw it I'm in ( Smokey ) needless to say...within seconds they were all hiding under something when I saw it. The 4 of us cleaned up the mess...everywhere and then Bean and I started on the Pulled Pork by the seat of our pants. All I can say is that an entire 2litre of A&W Rootbeer was the base of this recipe and we were concerned at first with what we put together but it was the best Pulled Pork I have EVER made!

I've only made it twice! I made sure to canvass the entire house for feedback and it was all good!

Note to self though...never put potatoes somewhere you don't usually put them won't see them for a few months. Sese and Lo got quite the kick out of Bean and I trying to handle that messy problem.

Thank god they didn't have a camera recording...


So after the food buzz and the house quiet Lo and I are outside talking about the day when in the sky I saw something wink into existence that was ON FIRE! Blue ball, red flaming tail is streaking across the dusky sky. I snapped out of it with enough time to frantically get Lo to turn around and she saw the big blue ball with a golden tail of sparks right before it winked out. All of that in maybe...10 seconds! I was shocked because where we live you just don't see that and for me to catch it was AWESOME! It reminded me of how small we are though and that space FREAKS ME OUT!

In all of the excitement though, it was the cherry on my Sundae of the day.

You guys rock!

I Am A Fan of Fan Expo!

Hello Lovlies!

The title of this one says it all for me. I had so much fun! Keep in mind that Fan Expo Vancouver is smaller than any of the other Conventions and at the same time it was great to go to something at the start that will turn into something much bigger over time.

This was only the 3rd convention in Vancouver so far and I loved every minute of the day. There were so many people in costume as it should be and I'm glad I started here. If I went to Comicon as my first one I think my inner Nerd would have had a heart attack as it was she was swooning from the second we went through the doors. My Social Media outlets were all a buzz with stuff. I haven't been able to upload all the pics.

I do wish I had been more comfortable with asking cosplayer or 30 for a photo though and next year as well as being one ( I'm really going to try and make that happen ) I'm going for broke. Some of their costumes were just amazing and inventive except the really bad plastic bag Batman.

Oh and the Steampunk! I almost went to Steampunk heaven, the clothes the jewlery all of the other stuff! I even bought a 50 calander that looks like a... I can't even explain it kind of like a clock but not really. I'll post it later and give kudos to The Attic who had a table there that I didn't want to leave.

The pics of it will be posted on my Instagram and Tumblr. Tabs are at the top.

I think I stalked Robert Englund for over an hour. He was one of the only celebs that sat in his booth regardless of whether he had autographs to sign or not and chatted away with fans. so I stood directly in front of him and stayed there! Paige got a picture with him and I thought she was going to die. Sese got a picture with her Cosplay idol Jessica Nigri and she is super cute.

There was so much going on and so much to see and all I kept thinking was Comicon is much bigger than this...I... have... to go.
For now though I'll focus on what's in front of me, making things better as well as worthwhile and making my dreams come true.

Everybody needs some of that right?

See Ya,

The Taste Test Request.

Hello Lovlies!

This will not be a big post this week.

My monday post was delayed for Family Day YAY! Here it was -1 or something stupid that we're not used to so I was curled up on my couch with my favourite fleecy blanket that T and Craig gave me for X-mas, watching a marathon of something I can't even remember right now and although I had started one I scrapped it for loss of interest in my topic.

Besides that I'm just trying to figure out a recipe or 10 that I can make and feed to Salt this weekend. I think we're going to come up with some interesting things and both Blog from different perspectives. They don't have to be complicated or gross recipies because I actually have to prepare ( cook, blend, light on fire ect ) whatever it is that she's going to try, so we both get to try something new!

Thank god she's up to this!

So if any of you can think of anything that is reatively normal that I can get her to put in her cake hole that would be great!

Cake hole is her mouth you sickos...

I know you guys like to E-mail or FB me but don't be shy!

See Ya
