Weekend Story

 

This weekend I was happy. It was a happy weekend! I threw my Momma a PartyLite party on Saturday and Sunday cooked and watched football and the Walking Dead (I needed to see my boyfriend Daryl). I even... wait for it... went to the gym Friday night with Tony. I also plan on going to the gym four times this week because I am tired of being jiggly.

 

Friday night we went to the gym and to Chic-fil-a afterwards which is perfectly okay because I went to the gym beforehand, right?

 

Saturday

 

Saturday we went to my Momma's house bright and early! I prepped some food before going to run some errands with Tony, PK and my Momma. Then I set up the Partylite display which ended  being not as dazzling as I predicted because I underestimated the amount of product to bring but it was still real pretty!

 

Here's the set up...

 

 

 

For the record, this is what my first PartyLite party setup looked like!

 

 

For the party I made Queso Fundido and a similar take of my Quiche. I used this perfect pie crust recipe and it really is perfect y'all!

 

 

 

 

Yum

 

 

Double yum, I used Chorizo and Monterrey Jack for this Queso Fundido. I also added sliced green onions to it because sliced green onions are everything. This pic has a dollop of sour cream on top because I prepped two Queso's on Saturday and the second one I made on Sunday, I added a dollop of sour cream.

 

Saturday we ended up staying way later than we wanted to at my Mom's house before we came home and I passed right out.

 

Sunday

 

I woke up pretty early to get some cleaning done around the house and we left to my Mom's house right after the Niners game begun. I find it to be very painful to watch the Niners play even if they win. Sunday's win was a real UGLY win, but it was a win. There were also some really positive things to take away from it even after our offense couldn't muster up enough for more than 1 measly touchdown after Eli Manning threw 5 touchdowns. Anyways, I was happy we pulled out a win and hopefully next week we can have an AMAZING game and our defense AND offense can click in perfect symphony.

 

 

After the Niners won my brother and Tony watched the Raiders play while I made these....

 

 

The pic you already saw but more appropriately place under Sunday's paragraph... LOL!

 

 Most people don't know this but Chicken Wings are one of my favorite foods of all time. However, I am picky and I like my Chicken Wings homemade either by myself or by my brother, this Sunday I made about 40 of them. YUM! I think I shall post the recipe I made sometime.

 

We came home early for a little Walking Dead action...

 

 

Then this happened...

 

 

We had some Chocolate Mousse Pie at my Momma's house that we never cut into on Saturday and I brought some home... so good!

 

And every since I found out that my home girl Pioneer Woman's show is on Netflix Tony and I have been watching a couple episodes every night. I love watching her!

 

That's a wrap! Tonite on Mely Cooks Monday I am making...

 

Momma's Chicken Salad!

Weekend Story

What a weekend!

 

Friday

Friday my Momma and her two friends came over to the house to celebrate Martina's birthday. She turned 50! Tony delivered roses to her work and I gave her a cute tourqoise bracelet.

 

I made Lasagna roll-ups divided into different small freezeable trays and I will post the recipe later today on an overdue edition of Mely Cooks Monday. I also made two layered Lasagnes in these small trays, so I had a total of 6 trays, each tray fits perfectly in a toaster oven and feeds 1-2 people. It's the perfect size for Tony and I! I baked one layered Lasagne for Tony Friday night and I gave a tray to my Momma.

 

Saturday

Saturday was a busy day! I got up and did a few chores with Martina and then Tony and I went and ran a couple of errands. I finally changed my last name at the credit union we bank at, haha always the procrastinator! We left to my coworker's housewarming party and had a blast! She just bought a beautiful new home and we were happy she had us over. Also, I learned my lesson and will never again mix red wine with white wine. I had a glass of red wine after exclusively having white wine and I was really sick the rest of the night after we got home. Never again red wine, never again.

 

Sunday

After a good night's sleep I was ready for my Sunday! We went to my Momma's house and helped her make breakfast. I made these Waffles and my Momma made Eggs, Bacon, Sausage and Coffee and then FOOTBALL!!! My Niners beat them Cowboys 28-17 which seems a lot closer than the game really was because of all the crappy calls the Refs made against the Niners. Ugh.. these Refs have it out for us. But seriously I really missed the feeling of my team scoring a touchdown.

 

 

 

 

Ahhh yes :)

 

After the game we went to Tony's aunt's house for a birthday BBQ for Tony's sister. We watched the Denver Broncos demolish the Colts and then we came home and relaxed until bedtime. Tonite is the season finale of Bachelor in Paradise and I will be making Orange Chicken with Veggies and Jasmine Rice for dinner! Although nobody likes Mondays I like the feeling of a fresh new week and a Monday night in relaxing feels real good.

True Love - Marriage Divided

Today is the start of the NFL preseason which means that the regular season is just around the corner. Let me tell you a little something about myself. I LOVE Football. During Football season I will not leave my house on Sunday because I love watching Football all day at home. Not only do I love Football but I also love the San Francisco 49ers:

 

 

 

I watch every 49ers game and I become very upset when we lose. Especially if it's against the Seahawks (if you're a Seahawks fan, get off my blog NOW) I grew up in a family full of 49ers fans and I love the City of San Francisco and all it has to offer. During NFL Season I love to watch ESPN Sportscenter before bedtime because watching Football highlights make me happy and puts me to sleep. Monday mornings at work I have a hard time focusing because I like reading Football articles and all articles associated with my Niners. My favorite players are Patrick Willis, Frank Gore, Anquan Bolding and of course Kaepernick. Listen, I knew Kaepernick would be the starter way before they benched Alex Smith and always knew he was a star.

 

If you are at all familiar with the Bay Area then you are probably aware there is another city across the bay with it's own football team:

 

 

The Oakland Raiders

49er fans and Raiders fans usually don't get along. They don't like each other and usually there is lot of fighting involved when they have to play each other. I fell in love with and married a Raiders fan. Although I have persisted he doesn't want to betray his loyalty to Oakland (even though the Raiders SUCK!) and during football season we will be a marriage divided. This will be our first Football season as a married couple and hopefully we don't end up divorcing.

 

So there you have it, my one true love before Tony. My 49ers <3
