Hurray for Tortoras!

We went out to eat with the Rainoldi's and Jason last night. Had a few drinks at the bar while we waited for our table. When we got to our table, Laura got up to go find our server because we were being ignored. (I know how rude right?) Anyways, we finally ordered our yummy pizza when Brad and mine came and it wasn't exactly what we ordered, so they gave me a free 8'' pizza(the picture to the right is the one I had) It was very very good pizza...Brad ended up eating our 12" all to himself anyways...guess it was good we got that free one!

Borrowed or Stolen take 2...

We were with the Rainoldi's last night and I found these in their garage...I think they belong to you Josh and Rebecca! hee hee hee...your stuff is safe and sound...

A Rainoldi Valentine's Day

Forgot to post this earlier, but this past Valentine's Day was my favorite one yet. We decided to do something different, so we went to see Microwave Dave and Phil Weaver, AKA Classical Blues Cabaret. It was in Lowe Mill, so we got to bring in our own cooler. Also, the little trailer with the people that cook had a special meal if you reserved it early, so we had stuffed cornish game hen. Good food, cool chill guitars (and some cigarbox), so beers, and my wife. Doesn't get any better.

Cajun Cafe & Monte Sano

Brad at the Cajun Cafe...
Josh, this one's for you!!


Monte Sano State Park

Brad's dad and his wife came down for a visit. Of course, Brad had to take them to the Cajun Cafe on Saturday. We also went out to show them Monte Sano.

No more kiddin' around

Just a quick update on what Valentines Day looked like at the Postma's:

• I cooked pecan crusted chicken for dinner for Julie (I used basil for the first time ever)
• Julie cooked the sides, yummy salad and red-skinned mashed potatoes.
• Served with some white wine/sparkling grape juice.
• And for the grand finale.....Julie whipped up some creme brulee. I wanted to pour some sambuca on top and light it on fire but Julie opted to sear the top using the broiler on the stove. Which led me to my telling Julie about the Statue of Liberty shots my friends and I did back in college. (Picture Julie responding by slowing shaking her head back and forth slowly.) Cut and paste the You Tube video below and fast forward to the 2:30 min mark

Julie also surprised me with a little Valentines Day gift - Crown Royale (giddy up).

Earlier in the week, I surprised her by bringing flowers to her work.

What did everyone else do for Valentines Day?

Bowling and drinks...

So, I got this coupon in the mail for a free game of bowling for up to 10 people! It is going to be at AMF Parkway Lanes on the South Parkway. The coupon expires 3-23-09. I think we should get together and bowl, then do some drinks afterwards, or to continue any games...play sequence? :)

Let me know if you would like to go and when I get 8 people (Brad & I =10) I will send out an email and we all can go from there.

The Nook & Beauregards...

Did they seriously just
put this on me??


We love straws...

April, go dance with the

Mature (cough) Weekend Fun

A long commentary necessary? Na.

Hangin' with the Rainoldi's

Well, I had received a call from Laura wondering what Brad and I were doing on Saturday night. An invite to grill out and play card games...plus some drinks? We were in for sure! Well Goins, we ended up playing sequence!!! (A new favorite Huntsvegas game) Above you will see some sequence action!

Brad and I grilled out BBQ pork chops and Tony and Laura grilled up some shish-ka-bobs. Laura made a yummy vegetable medly to go with it. I brought some homemade chip dip, my homemade peanut butter popcorn and Laura made some cookies. Funny story how I drank a lot of wine and Tony dared me to dip my peanut butter cookie in the garlic & herb chip dip. Well, I take after my father and do not turn down a dare, so I dipped my cookie in it....not once, not twice, but three times! Before we left, I dipped another cookie in just to show off. Sunday morning I was complaining to Brad that my stomach hurt!!! I told Brad that not only will he be DD again if I drink a lot of wine, but he will also be my "no mixing weird food" nazi!
