Zombieland!

The State Fair! 

There is something magical about a State Fair! I couldn't believe how lucky I felt that night! It was like I was in a movie and one of two things were going to happen...Zombies attack or I was going to wake up the next morning eight years old.  Either way it would have been the best night I have had in Hawaii! What could possibly be better than riding the Zipper, eating Funnel Cake, and playing games impossible to win!? I have know idea, that's why I was happy to find out that the Fair would be around the whole month of June. I can't wait to go back and try a deep fried twinkly! (and to see if the Zombies ever attack)

BEEF!! It's what's for dinner!

 This is a plate full of memories! As I sat down to devoured this amazing cut of Prime Rib I couldn't help but think of the people who introduced me to the wonderful world of beef! I thought about my grandmothers slow careful cooking and going to Amy VanRens', dad's house. Bob VanRens is the King of Beef himself! A grill master, who loved spoiling Amy and I with the best steaks money can buy. I also thought about  vacations with my Aunt Diane who always let me order the  nicest cut of beef on the menu. And my latest memory would have to be what I like to call "The Last Supper". Last time I was home my closest friends and I went to a Supper Club and ate the best Prime Rib Wisconsin cattle have to offer. I can say that was one of the best nights we have all had in years.  I am so spoiled to be able to appreciate this food and tonight was no exception. As I scraped my plate I could help but be so thankful for every bite. 

 I like to call this picture "The Aftermath"
