Huevos Rancheros anyone?

Well for my birthday I asked my parents for the GT Express Cooker 101. They laughed and said I would never cook anything, but got it for me anyways. I'd seen 2 infomercials for it and wanted one. After all even if I never used it at least it would give my Crock-Pot I got last Christmas some company:-)

My first attempt I realized I put too much salsa and I added a whole tortilla instead of one. It's probably best to follow the instructions in the little book that comes with it- but it's so hard for me. Not that I don't want to follow them, but I just read them wrong! It was still edible, a little undercooked though. Too my surprise Matt wanted seconds so this time I followed the instructions exactly to get the above creation. It was simple and actually pretty good:-)

Edit to add the ingredients:

1/2 cup of any salsa

2 eggs

2-4 tbl spoons of cheese

1 tortilla cut in half

*Lay each half of the tortilla in the well (that's GT Express Cooker talk) and spoon the salso onto the tortillas in the well, leave the middle empty to crack your eggs in to. I learned the hard way that you need to poke the yolk- it cooks better that way. Then close you GT cooker and go blog for 10-15 mins and volia! Sprinkle some cheese on top the last few mins of cooking.

Who Let the Arab Out?!

Sing the title as in "Who let the dogs out", but replace dogs with Arab and enjoy the pics:-) p.s I'm not trying to dis Arabians, I just think Arab when I see Less' tail and neck arched as such:-)
The funny thing is these pics were taken the day before GreyFest, when the tents, tables and chairs had already been set up, but there were only a few people around... Less was snorting and looking at everything, but the next day when the huge crowd and noise was there he was all mellow and happy.

Limo goes to the vet...

No worries, she was just due for her rabies shot. I also wanted her to have a lepto shot, which of course came in the all in one shot...so she got more than she needed, but I was proud of myself for forgoing the "physical" exam. Vets can usually suck me into doing anything. Going to a small animal vet is alot like going to get my car's oil changed...

Peanut had to come with us to the vet because honestly I didn't trust what she would do in the crate alone or alone in my car! So Nut went for moral support and cried and whined the whole time and she's the not the one that got the shots!

At least here there were no office cats for her to grab. Peanut's chart at her vet has now been "updated" to say she's not cat safe... reminds me of the Seinfeld episode of Elaine trying to steal and change her medical chart, though I wouldn't want to change Nut's!

Big disappointment(s)!

I tried to return Peanut this weekend after she embarrassed me by not running in the "Blur of Fur" event at the farm. We had practiced so hard and I was sure she was going to do well. Even Limo disappointed me! :-o Actually I don't blame them, there were too many distractions and the "lure" was a lunge whip with a dead fur something tied to the end of it- from like 50 yards someone waved it back and forth.... I let go of the Nut and she stood there, so I ran up ahead of her and turned around to see her taking a pee break- niiiice. Limo wouldn't run either, she ran straight to the crowd, there were just too many distractions for her little self.

Peanut didn't win softest fur either :-/, John and Laura's greyhound, Icy won it so I think the whole thing was rigged...

We totally missed our "Find your Grey's Twin" competition too:-( We were going to pair up with Kadabra (Abby), our last foster...

So can any of you tell who is Peanut and which is Kadabra (Abby)? Sometimes I have to look at the date of the pics to figure it out if it's like some of these poses...

But I was swapping horses around and we missed the Twin thing- Sorry Dawn!

Frosty who is normally in the back pasture was not a happy camper with all the going ons- There were so many dogs, tents, and just so much activity for GreyFest. Frosty was running herself silly, I tried to go out and catch her and she just kept whizzing by me like I wasn't there. So we had to go get Lester and Polo and use them as "Frosty bait"- which worked. We left Less and Polo in the back pasture and I took Frosty to the pasture across from the house away from all the commotion. Well technically she dragged me all the way up there. So while my two dogs were big disappoints for the day Lester shined as usual being the well rounded pony he is:-) He LOVES crowds and commotion, he thinks it's all about him. He and Polo grazed and took in the sights all day and weren't spooked by any of it. Frosty was relieved to be out of there.

(Credit of new breed description goes to my friend Carter aka cornbread, she left this on my Facebook page! LOL- I just dug up the appropriate pics-, she's always taken great interest in the Limo)

And to think that we got her spayed and didn't know we had a rare breed on our hands! Gah!
