Simply You...

As you’ve already seen on Jessica’s blog, several of us met up at Jen’s new Simply You Café this weekend. The food was yummy! I can’t wait to go back! Although I'm not a morning person, some Saturday I'll have to set my alarm and go for breakfast. Who wants to join me? Here's a pic of my friend Natalie and I after we ate some peanut butter cheesecake. Jessica has a group shot on her camera that I’ve asked her to send me to put on here. But since she still has dial-up, it will take a while. I’ll post that one next time. I don't know why she didn't put it on her blog. Maybe we weren't all smiling. :)

So my friend Karen just had foot surgery the other day and will be home for a couple of weeks. Her one request is that I make her some 4 Layer Delight. Don’t you wish you had a bite? :) Do any of you ever use your Temple Tech cookbook? My brother loves your green bean bundles, Ashley.

Do any of you enjoy arena football? Probably not. Well, yesterday I went to the Desperados game. It’s a fun atmosphere, even if your date is a little shy. I thought I was supposed to be the quiet one. :) ha ha! He’s the one I went to the Christmas party at the Ballpark with. Only 2 more months until Opening Day for the Rangers. Go Dave!

Ok, well, I’m not feeling like this post was very blogworthy according to the latest rules, but it’s all I’ve got going on in my life this week that's not work-related, so there you have it. Blog on, my friends…and blog any way you choose. :)

and exactly when are you gonna elaborate on the shy date? would this be the wardrobe challenged one as well or is that another guy in your harem??? and i so want to go to a rangers game with you! unless i have to bring a date and then well, i'd need some forewarning to make that happen...

You are not right putting a pic of your 4 layer delight on here. RUDE!!! Especially as I am eating my fat free light Yoplait yogurt. Oh well...I can sit, stare and wish I was tasting your dessert....

Man...it's about stinkin' time you blogged. You were starting to bore me!!! It was good to see Jill in your pics!!! She's a stranger to me these days. Haven't talked to her in a while. Glad y'all had fun and if you feel like sharing w/ the world...spill the beans on the guy!!!

I am with you Mandy, I believe in freedom for all bloggers!

Mandy said...

I haven't been able to answer all of you so forgive me for one big message...

That's right, Ashley! Cute picture of you and Austin on your site, by the way! Glad to know you're still aive...I was beginning to wonder. :)

"Merth," I'll meet you for breakfast any Saturday you want. Just give me advance notice so I can set my alarm. :)

Stacy, I'm coming to Jessica's to stay with y'all that weekend, that's just all there is to it! Then when you come back this summer, I'll take you to see Dave Dellucci...I mean the Rangers. As for my date...no biggie...he's approximately b-team or so. :)

Carrie, I forgot to sprinkle the oreos on top of the 4 Layer Delight. Imagine that...ME mess up in the kitchen!

Mrs. Elly, now every time I walk through Target and Walmart and see the swimsuits out, I think of you. :) And then somehow I begin to crave chocolate and forget my diet! :)

Shandra, I know you're jealous I get to see Jilly Bean more often than you. Be careful what you say...she does like to read these things. :)

oh...i know she reads them!!!

ashley said...

glad the green bean bundles are a hit...maybe i should make them for stone - he might eat them if they were smothered in brown sugar!!

Miss Mandy--I am sure it still tasted WONDERUL without the Oreos on top! The green bean bundles have been a HIT numerous times with me!! My mother-in-law even got the recipe for a dinner party she had!! Mandy--if I come to visit, will you make me some 4 layer delight?

Mandy said...

Maybe. But if not, I know a great new cafe we could go to that has great desserts. :)

Anonymous said...

HA! Yes--do they have those things you said are to DIE for?? I forgot what they are called...something you were hoping they had at Shandra's baby shower...they did, but they were not from Jennifer...too early to think of the name!

Jessica said...

petit fours. she loves the petit fours. and, no, jen did not have any made when we appeared at the restaurant. how dare she?

Mandy said...

Mmmm, I love me some petit fours!!!

Hey Mandy -
I cannot help but comment on Ashley's "green bean bundles". I remember when she cooked them for some of us "older" workers in the college dept. at her cool apt. by the the old fire station & I REALLY wanted to eat ALL of them....no, not all of them on MY plate, but ALL of them IN THE DISH!!! I have tried to make them several times from that handy "Temple Tech Cookbook", but mine have never tasted as good as hers!
I sure love seeing the pictures & hearing about your life...carry on girl!
Love you! Kathy Nelson

Well, you know you have taught special ed too long when you misspell your own name. I don't know why I called myself Merth! I am going to visit Simply You with Jessica on Saturday, but I don't think we will make it for breakfast.
