Texas trip #2

Tk and I at beach

Last Monday I went to Texas for my second time this summer to spend some time with Tk. On my first day Tk and I went to a natual science museum and it was fun. Then we went to the pool and I laid out while Tk worked. After Tk got off work it was time for scuba class. The next day Tk went to work and I got to sleep in and go shopping. Then in the afternoon went back to the pool. Amazingly no sunburn! only blisters on my hands from showing off. I learned my lesson never show off to kids on the lilly pads. Thursday moring we got up and headed to Galvaston beach and to see Moody Mansion which had 31 rooms.It was in the 100's that day. I got sick on the way back to Houston because of the heat. In the evening I felt better so Tk took me to underwater hockey where she plays with old men in speedos and one girl. She is the youngest on the team. On Friday morning I left. Bye Texas. Hope to see you again. It was a fun time! Thanks Tk for a great trip!

Better late then ever

Well its close to the end of the summer semeaster and I am ready for it to be over. Finally getting done with another massage class. This was a hands on class. On Tuesday this next week I have clients to do in class and we get graded on what we have learned. I am a little nervous..hopefully I do good. Fingers crossed. Better get back to studying.


Before I went to summer school, Mom and I took Tk down to Texas. We had a fun time!

Me, Mom, Tk

Me at Tiffany and Co

A piece of chocolate goodness

Sometime last week my grandma stumbled upon this recipe in the newspaper and wanted to make these. She did not have the ingredients to do so. Thank you Grandma for sharing this recipe. Last Friday to be exact my mother made these I know your probably thinking why didn't I make them. I wasn't in the mood last weekend to bake anything and I thought I would share this yummy recipe.

It is called Crispy Rice Treat Brownies

3 cups mini marshmallows

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup peanut butter

2 cups rice krispies

9-by-9-inch pan brownies, baked and cooled in the pan

3/4 cup heavy cream

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup M&M's

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, butter and peanut butter. Heat on high in 30-second bursts, stiring between, until melted and smooth. Stir in the rice krispies.

  Using oiled or damp hands, press the cereal mixture over the top of the cooled brownies, forming it into an even layer. Set aside to cool.

 Meanwhile, to make the ganache, in a small saucepan over medium-low, bring the cream to a simmer. Add the chocolate chips and let set for 1 minute. Using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, stir the cream and chocolate until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

  Pour the ganache over the rice treat layer and spread to the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with M&M's. Let cool until the chocolate is set before cutting. Wrap tightly or store in an airtight container. Makes 16 servings.

 I know it is a little chocolately but it is really good! Enjoy! 

   In other news I passed my classes..yay! Last weekend Tk graduated college and it was bittersweet. Maybe one day I will graduate..hopefully! Also last weekend I got a sore throat which lead to a cold and already have used two kleenex boxes up. Yes, I still managed to go to work even if I didn't want to. Tomorrow I go see the doctor about some things. I will write more later on that subject.

Finals and nerves

Its the end of April and I thought I would take the time to tell you whats new with me. ABSOULETLY NOTHING. Thanks for checking out my blog. Haha just kidding. There is always something new and exciting going on with me. This week is dead week and next week is finals. Not to nervous right now but this weekend till Tuesday I will be a nervous wreak. After next week I get two weeks off of school and then I go back for summer school. I will actually be doing massages on people..finally!

Spring Break 2010

Every year I get asked "How was Florida"? Well this year it was "How was Michigan"? Thats right folks I went up north to ski with my parents and Tamara. Fun times were had by all! We all tried cross country skiing and I think we did pretty good on that. We had a great time skiing and Tk had a great time on the snowboard. On Monday we went to the sleeping bear dunes and also to Lake Michigan. Here are just a few pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Snow Day!

"Oh the weather outside is frightful!" We've had about 10 inches of snow this week and the wind is blowing just a bit. We'll see how long it will last and how many days my mom and sister (both teachers) will be out of school. So far, its been two days. As for me, I haven't been able to commute this week because of the snowy roads. But tomorrow, I have to go to school because we're only able to miss a couple of days of my Thursday class.

Anyways, I enjoyed my time off and here's a picture of me having some fun outside!

Just blogging about Life in Berne

Its the end of Janurary and all is well with me. I just have a little cold and hoping it goes away by the middle of this week. Nothing really new with me except I have been taking new classes this semeaster. I am now taking a comunications class and a medical terminagoly class that I like. We take tests every Thursday night about all the stuff we are learning about. If massage therapy does not work out for me maybe I will go for medical assisting.or maybe I will try being a weather girl since the weather fasinates me. Today in Berne it reached a high of 34 degres and tonight its supposed to be in the teens. Hey look at that! haha. For the rest of the week it is supposed to still be cold. Well I can be thankful that its not supposed to snow anytime.
Next Sunday is the superbowl..Go Colts!!
Also next weekend the movie Dear John comes out and I am really excited to see it. I do have to admit I haven't read the book in three years but its a book that you will never forget. Hopefully the movie will be as good!

Have a great Feburary everyone! Until next time..this is Tiffany signing out.
