So I just watched the very last episode for Sara on CSI. Sara, with all her eccentricies, was my favorite CSI in any of the three shows. She was just very human and now she is gone. I understand that Jorja Fox needs to expand her career but I am so upset that Sara left the show I cried! YES! I totally teared up. Bye Sara. Hope to see you in the future! Pop in once and a while and tell us how you are doing… I know Gil will want to hear from you! 🙁
What a fun day yesterday was! Yesterday I attended the South Lake Union Turkey Crawl sponsored by Lakefest. 7 bars, 7 drinks and a whole lotta fun! Bars includes Patty Coyns, Feierabend, Victory Lounge, South Lake Union Grill, Laadla, Tessa Bella (I think) and Marazul. Most of the drinks suck except the one at Victory which was this awesome hot apple cider drink. YUM! It was my favorite. At the other bars I got beer except for the Laadla, which had this awesome, yet too sweet, mango drink and Marazul which had this Mai Tai-like drink.
Oh and I dont recommend going to Marazul because the bartender was a bitch, well the girl one. She saw us coming and was trying to block some of us out! Her excuse, some of us were too drunk, which is kinda true (I’d say really tipsy but no one was belligerent) but we are on a Pub Crawl! Apparently, this bartender doesnt understand the concept of a pub crawl. Neways, she tried to bar some of our people, and one of our people got in her face and then her bf was trying to act all macho and come up to one of our friends face. I was like oh no he didnt! Luckily, the manager and the bartender came and pull him away, but our friend apologized for the way he acted but she kept talking about it. And then she was trying to get sympathy from these two guys at the bar and I was talking about her and one of them gave me a stare! Ooooh… Like I am afraid of you staring at me! Blah.  Long story short… Dont go there!
 Othere than that… the pub crawl was AWESOME and I recommend all my friends to attend the Lakefest Pub Crawls. Here is a like to Lakefest… I have friends in that Org. OK! ^_^
So Thursday night was a fun and exhausting night for me. I made three batches of cornbread… yeah … cornbread, for a cooking competition at work the next day. I have to say, I can not make cornbread for a while. I mean… three batches is not a lot, but when you’ve never made it before and you have only a short time to make it, ick… It did turn out well though. I had two other competitors and lets just say, to make the story short, I won! :) $25 Visa gift card! Yay I was so nervous and so happy to win. I was shaking! REALLY!  I totally was shaking and couldnt eat until I found out. Ha! But it was so much fun.
Heres the winning recipe from my good friend Ina Garten. Without her help, I dont think I could of done it! So this gift card is really a prize for the both of us! 🙂

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups milk
3 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, plus extra to grease the pan
8 ounces aged extra-sharp Cheddar, grated, divided
1/3 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts, plus extra for garnish, 3 scallions
3 tablespoons seeded and minced fresh jalapeno peppers
Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and butter. With a wooden spoon, stir the wet ingredients into the dry until most of the lumps are dissolved. Don’t overmix! Mix in 2 cups of the grated Cheddar, the scallions and jalapenos, and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
The recipe calls for a 9×13 inc pan but I used muffin pan instead… but whatever you choose!Â
Enjoy!

This is my first Blog and hopefully I will write something interesting here once and a while. Doubt it will be anything thought provoking or amazing. LOL Just some random bits of my life and the cast in it.
