Leavenworth

My roommates and I decided to take a day off and make it adventure day to Leavenworth! 

We got to see my hometown, visit the high school I attended, the home I spent my childhood and saw the federal penitentiary too! Our lunch break was at Homer's drive in. It was quite a tradition rich establishment. Hamburgers, fries, and ginormous milkshakes.

I used to go to this place all the time. It was like a huge playground for kids, but is a bowling alley now.

Just to give you an appreciation of how great a landmark this dinosaur is, I recruited Pheffer to help.

This was a really unique Korean church we stopped at. It took us awhile to figure out that Pheffer was trying to tell us to take her picture in front of it.We have no idea why...

From a distance anyway we saw the federal penitentiary. They weren't allowing any visitors. We may have looked suspicious, a garden gnome, a German immigrant and a mute Asian...

On the way back home we came across more photo opportunities.

What a great adventure it was.

Looking for Superman

So I haven't had my picture taken with Superman but we did find him! Unfortunately we didn't have the camera with us ( I was with my roommates Salz und Pheffer) so we ran home to get it, but he had flown back home before we got back and now no one will believe our story.

California

I got to go with my roommates and some friends to California! It's a little town in Missouri, full of wonderous surprises. We ate a picnic lunch, did some grocery shopping at a Dutch market and took a few pictures of the sites around the area.

How to Make Green Eggs and Ham

I have always wanted to do this, since reading the book. It was actually quite simple. I even forgot to take the first few pictures. You put your eggs into the pan and scramble them first before you add the green food coloring OR turn the heat on. This should help to evenly distribute the greeness throughout.

When it seems to not be mixing any better you are ready to turn the heat up!

So now it's just like scrambling normal eggs, but GREENer.

I noticed that they yolk did not take to some of the food coloring, so I had a colorful pan.

At this point in time I forgot I was making eggs. They started to look really gross, but they still smelled like eggs.

So you can tell that some egg white stayed white despite my attempts to mix the coloring well.

Now you are ready to add the ham! I just used what we already had available = diced ham, but if had had any bigger slices that I could brown a little, I would have. Beggars can't be choosers...

I just added enough until I thought it looked right.  Then cook it until you can smell the meat.

Umm...Good. I do like green eggs and ham.
