Food Adventures

Picture this... 

Me (Karee), in the kitchen slaving away making yet another scrumptious dinner. Then comes Josh walking through the garage door stopping to pull off his sweaty smelly socks by the laundry room then sitting, exhausted on a stool at the island.

I grab a jalapeno and start cutting it up as Josh begins to speak.

Josh: "What are you making?"
Me: "Oh, just basil chicken in a coconut curry sauce." 
Josh: "Wow that sounds really good!"
Me: "I hope it tastes as good as it sounds! Go shower then we can eat."
Josh: "Ok, but make sure you don't touch your eye after cutting up that jalapeno, it'll burn!" 
Me: "Duh!"

We eat dinner and it is definitely delicious!

30 minutes after dinner and doing the dishes, my contact starts to bug me. I reach up and rub my eye... instant burn! I'm freaking out and my eye is watering and I can't keep it open long enough to get out my contact. Pure pain and disaster I tell you! But, luckily Josh got my contact out of my eye after only four tries and he held my hair back and shoved gently pushed my head under a stream of freeeezing cold water to stop the burning and eye watering and puffy redness.
 
I know, its quite the embarrassing photo, but I hope it serves as a warning to all you other gourmet chefs out there. Jalapenos are dangerous!


And now for something not so spicy, but rather kind of sweet.

Picture this...
Some random night, Josh watching Sons of Guns or Pawn Stars or A-Team series or Mission impossible series on netflix as I browse through pinterest for what else but delicious recipes.

Me: "WHOA! Look at how amazing this looks! I'm going to make it!"
Josh: "WHOA! You think it really tastes like watermelon!?"
Me: "Of course!"

Fast forward to a Saturday, I'm grocery shopping and I see a watermelon. Instantly I remember what I saw on pinterest and add it to the cart.

The next morning...

Josh: "What time is it?"
Me: "Seven thirty. Blah! Church isn't until 11!"
Josh: "Why did we wake up so early?! What should we do?"
Me: "Let's make that cake!"



So we did. And ladies and gentlemen, it was delicious! And it did indeed taste like a watermelon!

    Ooh and it's so cute too! Sorry about the jalapeno/eye incident. Sounds pretty bad to me!
