Iron Chef

I think Iron Chef is the best reality competition show on TV right now. It's probably because it involves cooking and speed. Sometimes you can't put those two together and have things turn out the way you want them to be.

I love cooking. It's been brought on by my husband Chris. I was never interested in being in the kitchen before. And now things have a different taste in life for me. I love being in there helping him make our meals and creating food together. We look up new recipes and make what we think will taste good. It helps that we both love the same types of food too.

This has influence our little man Reese. He loves being in the kitchen with us helping mix, stir, knead, or microwave things for us.

This weekend was really relaxing for us too. We haven't had one of those in a while. We went and looked at 2 condos for rent. Just something better, not necessarily bigger, just more quiet than this little mexico we live in.

Congratulations to our good friend Jeff Pearson as he becomes the next Corps Director of the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps. Our stomping ground is beginning to look up in the world of competitive drum corps again.

We get together with Jeff and Kathy often because Reese and Derek love each other like they are brothers. This will be a good move for him and a great decision made by the SCV Board. Maybe they will bring home a championship ring again.... and again.... and again. lol.

Chris and I ran into Jeff and Kathy at the Logan fiend show this past Saturday. He mentioned that he'd like me to head up the SCV Alumni Corps recruiting efforts. Of course I'm not going to turn that offer down. I'd love to work with the corps at that level. Especially now with Jeff running it.
