A Rib Recipe

I am a forgetful blogger and not sure if I blogged about this before. I am not a big rib or red meat eater but this is one of Chucks favorite recipes that our friend gave us. I just wanted to share it with all of you. :)

Ribs.

1 bottle Italian Dressing
1 can Budweiser
2 racks of baby back ribs
1 bottle Jack Daniels #7 bbq sauce
1 Foil Cooking Bag

Marinate ribs in Italian Dressing & Beer . Cover with aluminum foil &put in fridge for 24hrs.

After 24hrs of marinate preheat oven to 425F put ribs in foil bag be sure to put bag in dish or on tray with lip. Put some marinate in bag with ribs. Cover ribs liberally with bbq sauce. Stick in oven for 1 hour 15min then lower temp to 325F for 35 to 45min. When done cut open bag and let cool 7 to 10min.

Chuck saids they are really yummy. :)

We are having them tonight with salad.

T.G.I.F

Just wanted to say have a great weekend to everyone. Today we arent gonna do much just watch movies and relax at home.

Chuck got a new MP3 player and he loves it hes always listening to it.

I got my shoes today in the mail from Amazon and they are a little bit big on me. :( I am hoping that I will beable to get away with wearing a heavier sock. I am probroblay the only dummy that ordered the wrong size online. I got a 38 I guess I should of got a 37. What I did was see which size was which. Oh well I know now not to get that size. Well they are cool shoes anyways.


Chuck got a cool book from my parents for his birthday its called Wierd Sightings in New York. It has some cool stories in it. Maybe this week I will share some some with all of you.

Sabrina has been lazy today all she has been doing is sleeping.

Friday The 13th

Heres a little story about Friday the 13th from this is from Uncle Johns Alamanac.......

Friday the 13th's being unlucky is just superstition right? To test the theroy, the British Journal of Medicine began a study in 1993 comparing traffic accidents on Fridays over a period of years. They found that even though fewer people chose to drive on Friday the 13th, there were more traffic accidents than on other Fridays. Their conclusion: "Friday the 13th is unlucky for some. The risk of hospital admission as a result of a transport accident maybe increased by as much as 52%. Staying at home is recommended.

A favorite toy of Sabrina

Hi everyone heres a pic of my cute kitty Sabrina. Shes been up to finding new things to do around the house. Heres a pic of her and her new favorite toy. She has so much fun pushing the ball around in it.. She can play with it for hours.

Another thing she likes to do now is sleep with me when Chuck is in the feild or working overnight. She sleeps on his side of the bed to cute. She dosent like to be woken up or when I roll over on her side of the bed she has a fit. LOL

We have neighbors across the hall that has a dog that barks at everything. So now she is trying to bark she moves her mouth. I told her that she will be in the world records if she starts to bark. :)))


Sabirna has been living with us for almost 10months now. She has become more loveable and loves to be petted. She also has become better with our friends that come over. She comes out to greet them if she isnt sleeping or busy with her bird watching.

We are happy that we have her. She keeps me company and makes me laugh to.

Octoberfest Fun

Well Chuck and I went to Octoberfest yesteday and Chuck had fun and I had some fun to. I just didnt like being around so many drunks. We took a bus trip with the USO. It was 4hrs long to get there. Our bus picked us up at 0500 and then we headed there with one stop at a rest area. We got there a hour earlier which is cool. We got there after 10:30am and left at 1045pm. So we had 12 long hrs to be there. There was some rides and lots of booths set up and stuff. The beer tents were so full and we could only get into two of them. The first one was small and we had lunch in there. We ended up staying in for 4hrs because we had great table mates. Then the other one we went to in the evening was okay we met some college students and Chuck got to have one more drink before our bus left. Heres a few pics..Enjoy.

Amy

Octoberfest

Tomorrow Chuck and I are gonna go to the Octoberfest hes so excited. We are taking a bus trip through the USO. The last two years hes been in the field and this is our last year here and he really wants to go. We leave early in the morning and come back early on Sunday. I will post pictures and stuff on Sunday.

The history of Octoberfest

The first Octoberfest was held in the year 1810 in honour of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig's marriage to Princess Therese of Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The festivities began October 12, 1810 and ended on October 17th with a horse race. In the following years the celebrations were repeated and later the festival was prolonged and moved to September. In September the warmer nights allowed visitors to enjoy the outdoor gardens, or the atomsphere of the beer tents, or a stroll over to Wiesen continues into present times.

So we just walked around and went shopping and had lunch at Pizza Hut. Then we went to the fruit and veggie market and got some pears and grapes. Then we went to the Ronneburg Castle and went to the medevil fair. We saw the Jugglers there and some other events that were going on. We also saw the Falcon show. That was really cool. We got to pet the owls and the falcons. Now we were home and just relaxing. I hope that everyone has a great day today. We took some pics I will post them tomorrow.

Chicken and Dumplings

Yup Chuck and I made Chicken and Dumplings tonight..I tried my best to make them..This time I used bisquick and they came out okay..I guess when I make them again I will get better at it..

Remembering

Lets remember today it was such a horrible and very sad day 5 years ago...So many people lost their lives...Lets keep all of them and their families in our thoughts and prayers and the troops to that lost their lives...

What was everyone doing 5 years ago on this horrible day..>I was at a daycare center in my hometown in NY..I was changing diapers in my toddler rooms and getting them ready for the day...Then one of the moms came in and asked us if we saw the planes hit the world trade center and we all said no...So our boss brought the tv in the baby room and we all watched what we could during the day...

Chuck was fighting with the MP about the ticket that he got on his car when it happened then he went on lockdown..

It was such a sad day and I am sad today thinking of what happened to all of those people...

Hugs
Amy

80s tv shows...

Ikea Flea Markets

Today Chuck and I went to the Ikea Flea Market which was buy our house. They have it there the first Sunday of every month. Would you believe that Chuck and I have been in Germany for almost 3 years and have never been to it. So we woke up early this morning and went with our friends to check it out. Parking was horrible there but after waiting for 10 mins we found a spot. There was a lot of stands set up that old stuff and new stuff. It was pretty neat. I bought a really pretty pink shirt and Chuck bought something for his car and he also bought a motorized cat to pick on Sabrina with. It worked because shes not real happy that cat and walks away from it. We cant wait to go next month and check it out again because we heard that theres gonna be a lot of christmas stuff there. Well I hope that everyone is having a Happy Sunday.

Bye,
Amy

Poor Chuck

Yup Poor Chuck got stung by a bee the other day and he can't get the stinger out of him..How do you take it out because its driving him nuts because its really itchy. The bee stung him at work on the side of his stomache when he was unloading stuff.

Amy

Homeade Chicken Noodle soup

Today Chuck and I both have sinus infections yuck......or mine is just a head cold because of the change of weather in Germany. One day its cold here and the next day its warm. I dont know what to think. I just wish that mother nature would make up her mind and decide what to do. Well back to Homeade Chicken noodle soup thats what Chuck made for the both of us tonight. It was really yummy and made us both feel better. He boiled the chicken and then cut it up and put chicken broth in it and then added the veggies to it. It was great. What makes everyone else feel better when your sick...I hope that everyone is having a Happy Saturday..

Amy

Yup its another rainy monday here in Germany again. Thats the only thing it been doing the last few weeks is raining. The weather is so cold and gloomy. I just wish the sun would shine here. I was reading that it was in the 90s and sunny where we use to be stationed at.

Chuck came back from the feild today and we went downtown shopping and had dinner at Grimms and had chicken snitzel and french fries. Yummy. Then we walked around. I was on the lookout for winter boots. I hope that I find some soon. I have a feeling that we are gonna have a really cold winter here.

What to with my Sabrina..

Yup my cat Sabrina is driving me nuts at night time. I love her but she wont let me sleep that much. She started to wake me up every 2 or 3 hrs to play. I cant shut my bedroom door because she will cry and scratch on my door and wake up my neighbors. I dont want to get in trouble with them Any other suggestions of what to do so I can get some sleep. If you want a good laugh heres a story about last night she was sleeping on Chucks side of the bed and when I rolled over on her side she started to lick her lips and she almost bit me. YIKES. I think I have a little vampire cat living with me. Please help . Thank you.

Happy Sunday,
Amy

Its Thursday again....

I know that I havent been on for a few days to post anything. Well not much is going on with me since Chucks in the feild. My USB Cord plug thing isnt working either and I had some pictures to share. So hopefully I can figure it out. Well my day stunk today because one of my friends stood me up for lunch she went and checked her mail with my other friend and they both never came back until after 3. So I told her what she did was wrong because I was waiting for her all day. I was gonna treat her today. I told her that I hate to be stood up. She said that I can tell that your mad at me. I said I was but now I am okay. One thing that Chuck always loves about me is that I forgive and that I dont hold grudges. Well after talking to Chuck tonight to cheered me up also. Well its night time here in Germany so good night. Talk to all of you soon.

Goodnight,
Amy

One of my friends made me this of Sabrina and I thought it was cute and wanted to share with all of you....

I went to the Vet today

Hi everyone today I went to the vet to get a distemper shot and a microchip. I didnt like it all but I felt bad for my mommmy because she was more nervous than me. She was afraid that I was gonna run as soon the vet guy took me out of my crate. I didnt run at all I didnt want to get out of it for him. He had to dump me on the table. The first thing he did was weigh me he said that I was 12 pds which is good. Mommy thought I weighed more but I didnt. She was suprized to see that I didnt weigh that much.. Then he took my heart beat and then gave me two shots. I did really good for them I didnt even cry. Well I talked a lot but no crying so mommy was very happy with me. After the nice guy vet was done she asked him how old I was and he didnt know he just said that I was a mature cat. Mommy was like okay when he said that to her. So she wants everyone to guess how old I am. Her and my daddy think I am 2 years old. Then when mommy was paying for my appointment she put me on the floor in the crate and this big doggy was sniffing me and sticking his paw in the crate so I hit him with my paw I didnt like that. Well now we are home and I am really tired because the appointment took up my nap time so I am gonna go and take a nap. I hope that everyone has a Happy Monday.

Sabrina......

Lazy Sunday

Yup it was a lazy Sunday here in Germany for me and Sabrina. Since Chucks in the feild until the end of August we watched tv and played on the computer and I played with Sabrina with her favorite toy the feather. She loves that so we played with that to. I also played on myspace and found some of my old high school friends and chatted with them. Then for dinner tonight I went to my friend Nancys house and she made homeade chicken nuggets, homemade mashed tators and broccoli with cheese. Then we watched the Shaggy dog and had birthday cake for her great danes birthday his name is Saturn. That was my Sunday. I got a busy day tomorrow got to clean and take Miss Sabrina to the vets. Wish me luck because I am kind of nervous taking her. Well I am off so have a great day or night everyone.
