Fondue Night At April's New Place! 4/12/14

 Great stories about the Husbands came out at the Bonfire, as well as a few other fun stories to cherish:) 

The selfies were a blast. 

 The food was yummy as always!!

There were no boundaries. 

The hottest Salon in town!

Salon Night at April's

So much Hair going on here!

and a little Wax...

Vegas 2012

Jackson's for Breakfast

The Cart

The best part about Vegas. Grocery cart down the street all the way back to the room. It was convenient, and sexy!

HOLLYWOOD 2012

The Red Carpet event started off

with some lovely Hollywood Costumes.

There were yummy hor dourves and even a rainbow cake! Somehow every star there received an Oscar!! The wine and beer were flowing smoothly as we laughed and cried.

No one left empty handed since goody box favors were filled with luxury items from the hostess! A night to remember that's for sure.

Meggie's Girls Night

Mexican food and Chocolate Fondue....you can't go wrong with that! Dusty displayed her premier jewelry and gave wonderful presentation! We had some great conversations, unfortunately I don't know what on later on that evening since I left early,but sounds like everyone went on to get their drink on and 3 on 1 haircut took place.

(i would love to post photo's - if anyone has any?)

Camping at AJ Acres 2011

The 2nd Annual Camping trip! Many floated in the lake, some drinks were consumed and I've heard that there was a wild night of karaoke! There was an over abundance of food and of course it was all great!

Everything on a Stick

So all of the food came on a stick...some even brought beer and wine on stick:) Dirty Dancing always a favorite was on while some acted out the scenes as they were happening. There was a kissing contest and shot taste testing! Show and tell was a success as we went around the room sharing a little token from our own lives and getting to know one another just that much more.

By the later part of the evening everyone was getting a little restless in the required attire of sweatpants, and we got all dolled up to go dancing at "the club" Club Alamar that is - a local bar that is in no way considered a hot dance club, other than the name.

Michelle’s Fried Ice Cream

What I’ve done is looked at several fried ice cream recipes and created my own without actually frying anything. I don’t really have specific amounts so I will try to estimate as best as I canJ

Michelle’s Fried Ice Cream
In a bowl add (or you can put everything into a large ziplock bag):
½ cup sugar
1 ½ tbls cinnamon
2 cups of cornflakes
*crush or Mash cornflakes and mix these ingredients
*then add 1/3c honey (mix and mash some more)
*Take an ice cream scoop to get a ball of vanilla ice cream (any size you desire from golf ball to soft ball size).
*Roll the ice cream ball in the cornflake mixture until covered.
*Then place the balls of cornflake covered ice cream in the freezer, and take out just before serving.

Top with Whipping Cream (and a cherry):
*Use a Hand Whisk or and Electric Beater to whip 2c. of Heavy whipping cream for about 45seconds
*Slowly add ½ c. powdered sugar(add to taste)
*Mix for about 2-4 minutes until it becomes the consistency that you want

Fiesta Night photo's

Fiesta 2011

April hosted the first girls night of 2011, we had taco salad, spicy cheese dip, guacamole and enchilada's. Margarita's and Corona's were flowing while we played catch phrase and performed karoke.

Lobster Fest 2010

All of the Shrimp Cocktail your heart could desire, Lobster Fest 2010 was the place to be on Saturday November 13th! Although we had no lobster, the seafood dishes we did have we're excellent! The cheesecake was the perfect dessert to complete the night. It had been a few years since we had played Presidents and Assholes, but it all came back us once we started to drink:)

A quick trip downtown to check out the Press, a crazy cab ride for 7 in a sedan we got real close. Unfortunately the band didn't get our group photo's onto their web page but it was a good time. No line out the door any more, but it would have been nice to relive the drunk stage dancing at the Rox, if only there wasn't a $10 cover! Thanks for Hosting Stacy!

Glamour Shots 2010

The fern may have been a bit much, the ladies in this photo managed to sustain composure for hours of to ensure the best photo session of the decade. It was a great success!

Wii Night at Stacy's March 2009

This was the bowling event of the night.

Pumpkin Carving Night at Sam's

The Pumpkin Guts you can render from the insides of several pumpkins, is far superior than the stuff that has preservatives added. I prefer my food to taste as pure as possible without artificial add-ins. I think it is easier on our bodies to avoid the artificial.

To render Pumpkin Guts you need a large heavy pot such as cast iron that can withstand long periods of heat at a constant temperature. I grind the guts from the butchered pumpkin. I use a coarse grind. Then I put 1/4-inch of water into my pot. I gradually add a cup or two of the ground seeds to the pot. I turn the heat on to super low. As the guts start melting I add more. I do not want to cook the guts, just melt it to a liquid state. It takes a lot of time to render pumpkin guts, but the finished product is wonderful.
When my pot is full of the melted guts, I strain it through a fine sieve to collect all the tiny bits of seeds that are formed during the melting process. I save the left over seeds, as they are called, for use in some things I make. Or I mix them with peanut butter and beef suet for the birds. I pour the guts into pans or other containers.

This freezes well and keeps in the refrigerator for several weeks. I season my cast iron pots and pans with pumpkin guts. I feel that using margarine or some other fake fat in place of pumkin guts is equivalent to trying to make someone believe that pigs can fly.
