First Annual Taste Test!

Today began a new tradition for the Lee-Cooper fam as we celebrated our first annual taste-test! Check out all the fun!

Kash's Tastings


CLOCKWISE: Pretzel with vegetable dip, lemon with sugar, spanish olive, bologna on a cookie-cracker, garlic-herb laughing cow with cranberries and almonds



"Why is there a cookie with lunch meat in my mouth"?


Kash was expecting a shot of vodka to accompany the lemon!


"I won't swallow this nasty olive"



"Hmm....garlic with cheesecake? When did we get cheesecake?"



HE SURVIVED!

Kash guessed everything except for the garlic-herb cheese with almonds and cranberries.



Rach's Tastings

Top to Bottom: String cheese with marina sauce, Cheese crisp with mustard, strawberry with horseradish sauce (EEEWW), peaches with strawberry cream cheese



You can see the hesitation--I just knew he was going to throw something nasty in the mix!



Okay, now we're having fun!!





Bring it on!!




"What is this??"



"Oh, a cheese stick with mustard--YUMM!!!"

I only guessed the strawberry-peach thing correct on the first try. I couldn't figure out why there was something vinegarey on my strawberry or what the string cheese was dipped in!

It was a good way to eat up time on a lazy Sunday : )

Big Bully!

Kashema is out of town this week doing something for work and here I am left alone in a new city with my two dogs and----well, that's it. Not knowing anyone here really sucks. I'm bored out of my mind. I NEED A JOB PRONTO.

I've been told numerous times this past week that the average search time for finding work is 3 months. Whether this is true or just friends and family members trying to be nice remains to be seen. All I know is that I'm slowly falling deeper into this hole of boredom which borders depression.

The one thing that has kept my spirits up is the weather---nice, almost autumn, wind blowing, leaves falling , nip in the air weather. It's absolutely gorgeous and the pups and I have spent much of our days taking walks and soaking it in. I would think all the walking would wear them down and they would fall into the sofa like the little little lumps of fur that they are (AKA ballofur). NOT THE CASE. They are a little tipsy from the glory of the day and, well maybe even overstimulated. Visit my Youtube to catch a glimpse of the instigator and the irritator.
