Mural, Trout and Gearing up for the Weekend

Hello all! So today is a cold, gloomy looking day. Its supposed to be 90 all weekend but I wonder if the marine layer is going to be hanging out. This weekend Gentleman Friend and myself will be driving up to TAHOE!! We are going to do some exploring, then go help the Aunts winterize the cabin in Truckee :) I am a spoiled spoiled girl. Anywho, the other day I went out for groceries and decided to photograph the mural out at the Chinese Market/Resterant. Its super neat looking, plus it had FISHIES!!! :D Also saw a neat art car. Still looking for idea's to help me paint Darlene plaid. 




 Also this week, I was given a fresh trout! Caught by Don and cleaned. Im not going to lie, I do not eat enough fish, and havnt cleaned or skinned a fish in YEARS! But I did a damn good job, and Kitler got the scraps. Pickles looked like I was trying to poison him. Anywho, I made Cajun Blackened Fish out of this little guy, and it was AMAZING!!!


With left over bread from the Cheesecake Factory and an Arugala Blue Cheese Salad :)

Yesterday on my walk I stopped to smell the flowers, and succulents (who dont really smell, but are beautiful). As most of you know I ADORE succulents. And they are low water drought tolerent, super eco friendly. They also make some AMAZING indoor plants. Perfect for little terrariums and planters, even for apartment living!






PS, lets be friends on Instagram! Im UntidyVenus! :D

3000 Pageviews?!?!


What? How on earth did this happen? I blame you Angera!!! lol! Gentleman friend you too ;) Well thank you to anyone who wonders by and reads this rant and rambling.... This is certainly an honor :3

Friday Night Gentleman Friend came over and I made Tandoori Chicken, yum!! But I messed up the rice (really? rice??!?) and didnt make enough. The chicken was quite delightful though.... So afterwords we walked over to the movie store and rented Hidalgo (yes the sad horse movie.. Im a girl, I love horse movies) and I forced him to watch it. He's an amazing man and powered through it. But on the way home from said rental store we stopped at Nations Giant Hamburgers for some AMAZING burgers and Strawberry Cheese cake. These guys have the BEST pie....



In local news, Saturday Gentleman Friend took me to see my beloved DETROIT LIONS!! They played the Raiders in Oakland so we ventured into the Black hole.... For those who don't know, Raiders fans are known for being... Enthusiastic? And a little violent... He asked me kindly to not wear my bootleg Detroit hat and I agreed, only to find I was in good company! So many Detroit fans out in full gear!! :D He got us seats so close we could almost smell my beloved Lions. I kinda wish i did bring the hat, maybe i could have gotten an autograph.. Prolly not... Oh well, next time ;) GF is a HUGE football fan, but he's at heart an Eagles man. Yes, you may feel sorry for him ;) kidding handsome!!! Ya, he's teaching me all about sports. We ate garlic fries and had a grand time! The weather was perfect as well, which is good because they had forcast it being rather gloomy, which is great except when you want to be outside for 3 hours.... Especially in Oakland, that wind is cutting. (BTW Oakland Ca, not Oakland Mi)


After the game we went to Albany Pizza Co and had wonderful HUGE slices of their delightful pizza. Gowd I love that place! Yummo!!! With our bellies full we headed to my place to watch a few movies. For the record, Hamlet 2 is AMAZING! How have I not seen this yet? Crazyness. Also Midgets Vs Mascots is a mockumentory worth the time. Gary Coleman leads. GARY COLEMAN. Go watch it. Now. :)

Oh oh is Magic, you knoooooow....

Also I was distracted but here are some cars from last week. OMG I love cars!! The First one is a quarter mile racer, '74 Ford GTO. The orange guy is a 70's Mustang and The little guy is an Austin :)




And lastly, some snackies and goodness. On the way to court (grumblegrumblerapistsgrumble) I grabbed the breakfast of champions! Dill Pickle Chips!!! :D OMG and their super yummy too!! And the bag is cool. Also yesterday on the way to work I snagged something I have been trying to get my hands on for a while, coconut M & M's!! Their chocolate with coconut, and sooooooooo good. Also threw in a Kitler picture to round out my total wussyness
