Stormy's little buddy, Sketchy Reggie, lasted about a year.
Not too bad.
I just kinda have an issue with how she seemed to bite the eyes out.
Must be voodoo.
Here is Reggie's replacement.
Homemade by my mom.
Stormy is not so interested.
The replacement needs a name.
Please post ideas to the comments below.
this is the good life.

Ohhhh...the gorgeousness!!!!!
Betsey & Jared's country wedding came and went...much too fast in my personal opinion! It was beyond anything I had imagined, everything was perfectly planned and perfectly in place. The sweet, personal touches still make me emotional. Bets put her blood, sweat and tears into making her fairytale wedding come true. We are so happy for the newlyweds....get ready for a picture marathon...

Green Enchilamies.
I wanted to share my recipe for Green Enchilamies with you (all 2 of you). They are crazy easy to make and I whipped up about 4 batches in 20 minutes. They freeze perfectly and please even picky eaters. Now, I cannot actually call them "enchiladas" because that would make my mom super mad! I grew up watching my mom make traditional enchiladas with corn tortillas, red sauce and lots of cheese. This recipe that I am sharing with you would not make the cut...too Americanized.
Makes 2 pans, about 16 enchiladas
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 large can Green Enchilada Sauce
1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can corn
1 small can diced green chilies
1/2 cup chopped red onion
4 cups shredded cheese
1 package Flour Tortillas
Drain and rinse beans and corn. Put beans, corn, chilies, chicken and red onion into a large bowl. Add about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and stir together.
In each pan that you are using, put about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom and spread around to cover evenly. This will help them to not stick and keep everything moist and happy.
Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup bean/chicken mixture and a little cheese. Roll enchilada so that the open end of tortilla is facing down into the pan.
Once pans are full, pour remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas. Spread all around with hands to make sure that all the tortillas have been coated with sauce. The sauce should only fill up 1/4 to 1/2 of the pan from the bottom. Top with cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. You want bubbly sauce and melty cheese. I like to serve with sour cream, cilantro and avocado.
Yum.

Fort Baker.
Have you ever heard of Fort Baker/Cavallo Point. Yeah, me neither...until I went with my girlfriends a few weekends ago and had the bestdayofmylife. That place in UNreal. It did help that we went on the most gorgeous day of the year and drank a few mojitos. Just amazing views of San Fran and the entire bay. Fort Baker which has been renamed to Cavallo Point Lodge at the Golden Gate is just outside of Sausalito in Marin County. It served as an army post until the mid 90's, but has recently been transformed into a luxury lodge complete with a restaurant, spa, museum, etc. The entire establishment has received a gold star rating for their eco practices in reuse and green build.
Pics from my iPhone...terrible, my apologies...
