Green Eggs & Kids

They like it?

We had enough snow this AM that I opted to again work from the home office, but I have to say I had additional motivation to stay here and make breakfast for the kids today.

What better time to take on Green Eggs and Ham than on St. Patrick’s Day?

Joie mentioned it just before bed and once I was up – it was time to egg-speriment.

I have to say, food very clearly involves more senses than the tastebuds – I think most folks get that smell is a heavy influence on taste – but the visuals of food sure factor in too. Not so much for how it tastes, but for weather you actually want to put it in your mouth.

Gotta say – the food looks vibrant – but not appetizing. As for taste – to me – no difference. So if you can get over the greenness hump – you can start your St. Paddy’s day off this way too!

Check out the pics - the kids, well, they came around I think.

Enjoy!

3rd Annual Vegas NASCAR Venture

#20 Tony Stewart

We are now official NASCAR junkies (rednecks?) I believe. This was our fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race for us (though Neil and Dale have been to many more than us), and eight or more counting ARCA, Craftsman Truck, and Busch and now Nationwide Series races.

Three of the Sprint Cup races (formerly Nextel Cup, formerly Winston Cup) for us have been in Vegas.

It’s a great place to see a race – great enough that NASCAR is already working to put a second race in Vegas on the annual Sprint Cup schedule – sometime in the fall – probably to start as early as next year.

This is our third consecutive trip to Vegas for these races and we definitely have a blast. And I of course have many photos. This set are all from the Saturday Nationwide Series race. I actually thought the finish on this race was more exciting than the Cup race the next day.

Also, AJ has taken to the camera and took a bunch of photos too – of both races. Those will be the next set I post – his and mine and we’ll cover the Sprint Cup race. Stay tuned.

For now, it’s only Nationwide Series, but still, plenty of pics to enjoy… so, enjoy!
