Ghost Peppers 1 of the 7 Deadly Sins – 2016
It’s the first day of my staycation and we are taking the boat out for the very first time. We saw lot’s of fish but we did not manage to catch any of them. It was a fun day though.
Greg gave me the ‘I’m so disappointed in you and who did I marry’ kind of look when I told him I didn’t want to eat the ghost pepper. I was so scared to try it but all in all it was not that bad.
Shopping for Plants and Meal Prep – 2015
The weather is changing and it’s a sweatshirt kinda day. I’m considering joining a gym again because I miss the stepmill and my zumba classes.
We stopped at a home improvement store to look at the bushes and trees. We are going to need to work on the landscaping so it’s good to see what are options are.
I got some of the cotton candy grapes that everyone seems to be bragging about. They are ok but I don’t feel like they are brag worthy. We did meal prep and I all my foods bagged up for the week.
