Thanks to all the sweet gifts we've been either given at showers or Sean's coworkers gave as hand-me-downs. So great!<br /><br />And my sister-in-law recommended buying diapers, so we are covered maybe for the first 2 months of his life, just maybe!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRRJGV6NcLhdlMqB8h1VqDTSMy6S3jNvgUWbIgSbwsjuQ9UauZBV_Z4XWUT6q-qGvtObeJUG6BqIHLfEyoCiyYiwOmO-W2_Ds2Gvu41khE2uhTCf7Kuf9s2QUf4jLCLAuhooOgfuGMkMg/s1600-h/IMG_2547.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRRJGV6NcLhdlMqB8h1VqDTSMy6S3jNvgUWbIgSbwsjuQ9UauZBV_Z4XWUT6q-qGvtObeJUG6BqIHLfEyoCiyYiwOmO-W2_Ds2Gvu41khE2uhTCf7Kuf9s2QUf4jLCLAuhooOgfuGMkMg/s320/IMG_2547.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338075989416934482" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDtMzWuzjcQwh7pETa0bU-AHvTcvHR8ZPLthIhr3NtGtJ-e5mKvxyU51jWOEcn0mENM8vyNkoow8nvOlt5lrK_72XC8NA477mTLEEohyphenhyphen3KU43rOLO9GI7h_Awt8luAZcfmUcKShQBZjVI/s1600-h/IMG_2548.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDtMzWuzjcQwh7pETa0bU-AHvTcvHR8ZPLthIhr3NtGtJ-e5mKvxyU51jWOEcn0mENM8vyNkoow8nvOlt5lrK_72XC8NA477mTLEEohyphenhyphen3KU43rOLO9GI7h_Awt8luAZcfmUcKShQBZjVI/s320/IMG_2548.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338075979480659138" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinmwcsDz3YSt3sgzKnJ3QuDnVDX2L8CfHxlAlO86mzj9DkkuZ9MHnkVJvqwYG2CwWfvMLBivE673aRwh8VTCSMH783jqrxHaf10uKm2dd2gqYQPqmIFEwHw3PFB7O5gtbv5kKlXYjkEp4/s1600-h/IMG_2549.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinmwcsDz3YSt3sgzKnJ3QuDnVDX2L8CfHxlAlO86mzj9DkkuZ9MHnkVJvqwYG2CwWfvMLBivE673aRwh8VTCSMH783jqrxHaf10uKm2dd2gqYQPqmIFEwHw3PFB7O5gtbv5kKlXYjkEp4/s320/IMG_2549.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338075976943560914" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLy0BDz1MFqnOaFRbamIL-IblTYpz9CPkc9CdMuev0tMcP7e0QKL1_0KvlOGSwobDlUlM_WYI26M4esZPRE6MrdFnQf2pZzoIvM_5d3RpYd4JO3dwjF5757J-k07aG-GQOTFqhzRgFjpA/s1600-h/IMG_2550.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLy0BDz1MFqnOaFRbamIL-IblTYpz9CPkc9CdMuev0tMcP7e0QKL1_0KvlOGSwobDlUlM_WYI26M4esZPRE6MrdFnQf2pZzoIvM_5d3RpYd4JO3dwjF5757J-k07aG-GQOTFqhzRgFjpA/s320/IMG_2550.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338075970866571154" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZq-3m40H5eMl7KS7Ci2OGOen1IImXKEsE62cEjBFbYfCIPAsazBTDro8LjAMj2E5R-RDe2u0f5vMb3fuVs5wjGyQJSjy5uAPmBXHszFGW-Kn3z0SaxTXp4oboqYP7ryWYwDwicA9PMoU/s1600-h/IMG_2551.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZq-3m40H5eMl7KS7Ci2OGOen1IImXKEsE62cEjBFbYfCIPAsazBTDro8LjAMj2E5R-RDe2u0f5vMb3fuVs5wjGyQJSjy5uAPmBXHszFGW-Kn3z0SaxTXp4oboqYP7ryWYwDwicA9PMoU/s320/IMG_2551.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338075969537869618" /></a>the bohlschmid'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16838381699336298840noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574880650936558780.post-62529054903634072382009-05-16T21:34:00.003-06:002009-05-16T22:14:48.969-06:00Long time no blog!Yes, my bad... I'm so sorry ladies! It's hard to check Facebook let alone think of something witty to write on my blog... I'm terrible I know!<br /><br />Ok, with the apology out of the way let me get to what this particular blog is about.<br /><br />Moxibustion<br /><br />I had never heard of it until this Monday. Sean and I are turning into parents who will do whatever it takes to make sure their son is safe and OK. And here's a story to prove it.<br /><br />Monday I called our Dr. after I had an off feeling, and Collin hadn't been as active moving around. Sean and I drove to the office in silence as if I was in full on labor. Once there, I was hooked up to a monitor to look at his heart rate and my contractions within a 20 minute period. Once we heard the heart beat, we instantly relaxed. After taking a look at Collin in the ultrasound he was doing great, but had decided to become breech again. At 31 weeks he was breech but since then had flipped down. With me being 36 weeks we knew Collin was running out of room in there to get back down. The Dr. explained 2 choices cescarian or inversion (sp?). The inversion would have to be schedule this week and I had not really heard much about it. But basically the Dr. pushes the baby down by pressing on your belly. That didn't sound fun, and cecsarian is not our first choice. <br /><br />As we left the office one of the nurses mentioned Moxa this acupuncture herbal thing that "you just burn by your toes and your baby flips down". Crazyness, but we were like - sure! Where can we find this. She told us to go to Apothecary Tinctura, wtf???<br />How do you even spell that? Well I think that was it!<br /><br />Long story short, their supply was out so we picked up our Moxa at the Chinese School of Medicine. Yeah, we laughed all the way home.<br /><br />I googled Moxa Breech baby and here's the link that came up for YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtLGfT4JAsY<br /><br />Basically you do burn it down by your toes, but it's a little more specific than that. 2 times a day 20 minutes at a time. <br /><br />And yes, in 4 days from doing this treatment our little guy had turned down. No longer breech for now, but we have plenty of Moxa on hand just in case!!!<br /><br />And after telling our Dr. that we did this treatment, she wanted all the details... very cool.the bohlschmid'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16838381699336298840noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574880650936558780.post-91598381504079363822008-11-19T17:26:00.006-07:002008-12-14T13:29:40.771-07:00Zack and Marissa's big day!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSicFMmmSuObUV3b0ydrbZgUkNRU2Ty-WfOzD6lYylL6fryvwO_LNyQ22uqniQ6evaDbpib-uKctqZri7iUFDujzmACkoyeXT21Xh7AXh3BRC3Lz-x34g1Zc8uUdLZsDIvFpCUgdtPR8M/s1600-h/IMG_1981.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSicFMmmSuObUV3b0ydrbZgUkNRU2Ty-WfOzD6lYylL6fryvwO_LNyQ22uqniQ6evaDbpib-uKctqZri7iUFDujzmACkoyeXT21Xh7AXh3BRC3Lz-x34g1Zc8uUdLZsDIvFpCUgdtPR8M/s320/IMG_1981.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279745457849598322" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlaWcYzZW1fdcidiw6z992iw-h93VJE0V0qRveyXW6QNNDCFBQ0e2CMqUe98E0rYpYjnHsTYNGuDIn-R0hU2EH1XxcpsB6K8yQKb1_oTgrSPCt1gn7iM7INzBY3Yh4LpOr7XQKYvxw6Lg/s1600-h/IMG_1932.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlaWcYzZW1fdcidiw6z992iw-h93VJE0V0qRveyXW6QNNDCFBQ0e2CMqUe98E0rYpYjnHsTYNGuDIn-R0hU2EH1XxcpsB6K8yQKb1_oTgrSPCt1gn7iM7INzBY3Yh4LpOr7XQKYvxw6Lg/s320/IMG_1932.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279744747046238146" /></a><br /><br />Most of you have heard by now that my big bro is married!

The Schmid family was in heaven!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB2sPTg1F77XZViPdlxfkk8hWiTrlS5o1PaCfLkcegji35atWeJk_z9BnYMZHFZoirPNLMsA1YGuB331HCcwDU-7kx15tTF4nxDqwSWPiyE5HBUSZdW7TFWXKiMRB6bhGztggv1_mdv0o/s1600-h/IMG_1689.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB2sPTg1F77XZViPdlxfkk8hWiTrlS5o1PaCfLkcegji35atWeJk_z9BnYMZHFZoirPNLMsA1YGuB331HCcwDU-7kx15tTF4nxDqwSWPiyE5HBUSZdW7TFWXKiMRB6bhGztggv1_mdv0o/s320/IMG_1689.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270531300587016386" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW6K-8AfSAM9jQikxV9xKNJ7q0MF5p8ftcM7l3WrWQKJk__V6gFzLSuIpmgAjw6yh9oSghoMJ6qenWsxksCs5HVxj1rwPGdkDB2U0duln09OfXuZQxe_Vha_z6ensrEpPZ_yBX9CcgVNY/s1600-h/IMG_1675.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW6K-8AfSAM9jQikxV9xKNJ7q0MF5p8ftcM7l3WrWQKJk__V6gFzLSuIpmgAjw6yh9oSghoMJ6qenWsxksCs5HVxj1rwPGdkDB2U0duln09OfXuZQxe_Vha_z6ensrEpPZ_yBX9CcgVNY/s320/IMG_1675.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270531298256298274" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgno1HUl3a-sIc_aC2TKA7x43YqVzwn5PGGKsvlbZhz2L8it0pzo48-NWglzwMkX3iN1rHiUx3phUHoOaFq3s7zPdvAqzoExDeMnJUalTmJBQF6TDLNAsoKPyHr6cU5SagkMEkLWsQ-HEE/s1600-h/IMG_1676.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgno1HUl3a-sIc_aC2TKA7x43YqVzwn5PGGKsvlbZhz2L8it0pzo48-NWglzwMkX3iN1rHiUx3phUHoOaFq3s7zPdvAqzoExDeMnJUalTmJBQF6TDLNAsoKPyHr6cU5SagkMEkLWsQ-HEE/s320/IMG_1676.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270531295047753346" /></a><br /><br />Friday was Halloween, so a couple of Marissa's family friends rented out a ballroom at this gorgeous hotel for a huge bash.<br />If you can't tell, Sean and I are Juno and Blekers, Katrina is Sarah Palin and Zack is Dorothy from the Golden Girls.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9U13VmE7G32jhgXvVH9ZbbU9-PnSxmFS7geXI5osrTBww6j1AxZncMVqu_qSps99RebipWH8p0VxOErYySFq3Nphaj6xYrKIGpWpogI2No9JZGM-naEKsBXPw32b7qYij8WXYysL69lU/s1600-h/IMG_1835.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9U13VmE7G32jhgXvVH9ZbbU9-PnSxmFS7geXI5osrTBww6j1AxZncMVqu_qSps99RebipWH8p0VxOErYySFq3Nphaj6xYrKIGpWpogI2No9JZGM-naEKsBXPw32b7qYij8WXYysL69lU/s320/IMG_1835.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270532619334728610" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW4u5DJZSz24e63xECw6CcphTqLeBQ4r1UJ2xiWiZaMRxkiQsAxwI_pDqE8DWvThgxzMIJ5YTHvwOUkzPtOtgrf1Z-voxztXZEf3WLFjCLyzpHeo7LpAfCHMqHd6wE7AQSPyzQ0p021-Q/s1600-h/IMG_1763.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW4u5DJZSz24e63xECw6CcphTqLeBQ4r1UJ2xiWiZaMRxkiQsAxwI_pDqE8DWvThgxzMIJ5YTHvwOUkzPtOtgrf1Z-voxztXZEf3WLFjCLyzpHeo7LpAfCHMqHd6wE7AQSPyzQ0p021-Q/s320/IMG_1763.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270532615445719026" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-f0E7CL_gQxLQ0JQusxkg1LA9pzQfhyNAB49-8LzSbDO_LICJGa-RlznWkoZ_nA_BK7grIbhPzKzPNY_PwnPp5ewpTba2v2elgt_iv9Bd5N73eazlzXsrC4khpE7AObXOnVkN_h0rQsg/s1600-h/IMG_1790.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-f0E7CL_gQxLQ0JQusxkg1LA9pzQfhyNAB49-8LzSbDO_LICJGa-RlznWkoZ_nA_BK7grIbhPzKzPNY_PwnPp5ewpTba2v2elgt_iv9Bd5N73eazlzXsrC4khpE7AObXOnVkN_h0rQsg/s320/IMG_1790.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270532611141222834" /></a><br /><br />Katie and Eric picked us up for some yummy breakfast tacos, and we even got to see their beautiful house!<br /><br /><br />The wedding was so unique and beautiful.

I never knew it existed until our friends at work invited us. The festival started off with an opening ceremony where all the families were announced. Each had their different plaid skirts to strut as they walked in the parade. <br /><br />We had a great time trying meat pies, and of course the smoked turkey leg.... (Sorry Brooke!) And let's just say there was plenty to wash down our food with! There was even a booth dedicated to buying shots of scotch!!!<br /><br />There were also bands playing at the festival... Brother and Albennach.... so cool and unexpected. Albennach had like 9 people in their band and all but one were playing these huge drums. The one without the drum played the bagpipe...<br /><br />I witnessed my first bagpipe malfunction. What memories!<br /><br /><br />On our walk home we ran into a bunch of Elk in the middle of the golf course. It's mating season!!!<br /><br />Can you see Sean standing next to the giant Elk?<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM2hUCm4QtCLePovPpbY9dMzB57BufmMsUMA7O71zhlgysB0p_bxL7ZLVnMxrahEBO7hhyphenhyphenXxtzlmviWQMnBfV1yPQ3d5lFptM9g-lNPjtdWV2Iepeu00TaEz325UK3Lqr5y3yf1z7JSgE/s1600-h/ee.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM2hUCm4QtCLePovPpbY9dMzB57BufmMsUMA7O71zhlgysB0p_bxL7ZLVnMxrahEBO7hhyphenhyphenXxtzlmviWQMnBfV1yPQ3d5lFptM9g-lNPjtdWV2Iepeu00TaEz325UK3Lqr5y3yf1z7JSgE/s320/ee.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244218229801609474" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXnA-4kBFsGjv7T49klmwvIhyphenhyphenYVdLz31wKCdO4Oth8M2XeBJnRk3tEzQcJ7KTVw_Dh7jhjXDNBqw-RT5_GUpKURKRIMlTwms02CtquaJX-phT3vbAKU3_qc1WIgi1UBpQNdEkQGvKbzr0/s1600-h/elk.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXnA-4kBFsGjv7T49klmwvIhyphenhyphenYVdLz31wKCdO4Oth8M2XeBJnRk3tEzQcJ7KTVw_Dh7jhjXDNBqw-RT5_GUpKURKRIMlTwms02CtquaJX-phT3vbAKU3_qc1WIgi1UBpQNdEkQGvKbzr0/s320/elk.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244218241951505650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaH0MuXED25ixKPF6RiF6nWWO54G3Fwu_x3Z4rEHRSECzX3vBxxYFA3bskWotpwBd-vG_WgvW_QmmNTz_gxVVO9Et2wrnwUEaRrDsLaG9osw5n66fK028w3ZlUrgJK-YnDdtYWoQUw8ss/s1600-h/es.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaH0MuXED25ixKPF6RiF6nWWO54G3Fwu_x3Z4rEHRSECzX3vBxxYFA3bskWotpwBd-vG_WgvW_QmmNTz_gxVVO9Et2wrnwUEaRrDsLaG9osw5n66fK028w3ZlUrgJK-YnDdtYWoQUw8ss/s320/es.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244218243540194610" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6cpsiwyf30OAlmtrnkz0DeQWrjx2DsP1UihAnSCtFwdT0RPSIstinu_cpi9puj85O7VHujv7AfsMsSs0TkhmwfFRMoLZh1j5Ks7lg2crPoPbBI2YOEhy0NNtKYLYE6vNDJB_RsPsLtzA/s1600-h/ess.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6cpsiwyf30OAlmtrnkz0DeQWrjx2DsP1UihAnSCtFwdT0RPSIstinu_cpi9puj85O7VHujv7AfsMsSs0TkhmwfFRMoLZh1j5Ks7lg2crPoPbBI2YOEhy0NNtKYLYE6vNDJB_RsPsLtzA/s320/ess.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244218256718411202" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOiTnHUsG8U5nqpJYz9TbTgSyRdYXHouRqknWc81Mn8cQQTMkskMfQbRe90JbNtUNiY8HUScT6AQO3DFdZ0zxHpZsMz-7ed3rRAzAR6TrgHuyymadu0_iLeAlL1XVbnjyfSUGCmHUOfo/s1600-h/est.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOiTnHUsG8U5nqpJYz9TbTgSyRdYXHouRqknWc81Mn8cQQTMkskMfQbRe90JbNtUNiY8HUScT6AQO3DFdZ0zxHpZsMz-7ed3rRAzAR6TrgHuyymadu0_iLeAlL1XVbnjyfSUGCmHUOfo/s320/est.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244218263269851794" /></a>the bohlschmid'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16838381699336298840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574880650936558780.post-3925800023170878712008-08-23T10:26:00.016-06:002008-09-03T14:16:31.846-06:00I'm so ready to stay in Denver this weekendOur August has been non stop and I've been neglecting this blog. Sorry bloggers! Let me share a few highlights with you:<br /><br /><br />I visited Jen the last few days of July and then headed back to Denver to get ready for DC. Too bad I stepped on a huge peice of glass just 1 hour after I landed back in Denver! I was hobbling around DC the entire trip. Oh yeah, I won the DC trip on the radio! I was caller # 6, and won flights, hotel and tickets to Coldplay.

I had been in constant contact with my aunt to ensure an awesome party at her house in Pleasanton. Katrina and I even made invitations! There were two parts to the party: an afternoon wine tasting and an evening at the oscars. The surprise was that we were doing a dinner murder mystery. We were an Italian family in mourning over the loss of our father and brother Pepe Roni... Yes so dorky but a such a riot. My brother played Marco Roni the son of Pepe, but he sounded just like Borat. "The balls of meat are good!" My mom was the star of the party and still is talking about how great it was.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhodkQb-UgA52QEDrcINYhDkptAJR2xNJb0xAAhgEwfAI5aJmCNrpCyleE_F51vROobRsFPQBB1CwMjSvhNAuCBTgmzBI3pRQxVggpEEYnSeYH4F4Ceg4miuCn49v3HpJZsZFSg2LSvLtg/s1600-h/boys.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhodkQb-UgA52QEDrcINYhDkptAJR2xNJb0xAAhgEwfAI5aJmCNrpCyleE_F51vROobRsFPQBB1CwMjSvhNAuCBTgmzBI3pRQxVggpEEYnSeYH4F4Ceg4miuCn49v3HpJZsZFSg2LSvLtg/s200/boys.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241621329165497106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSpG66pQCgoPHZBh4f2g0m1pHIen5-nOKs7gkB1Glg25JFG5EoTvNl_X7mN6838gXxqSeHFv5BBkk2Kppi9oCFMEex8tBWXBWZRYIgfcooVw7jbrDsuJ7c1jgZ3COky3849O5xkP-FtcI/s1600-h/IMG_1marci.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSpG66pQCgoPHZBh4f2g0m1pHIen5-nOKs7gkB1Glg25JFG5EoTvNl_X7mN6838gXxqSeHFv5BBkk2Kppi9oCFMEex8tBWXBWZRYIgfcooVw7jbrDsuJ7c1jgZ3COky3849O5xkP-FtcI/s200/IMG_1marci.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241621335411971442" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_tsqrT7BPf2LtOwASTDbqjwvPtaCI3aTp4j6BnRQ60QcmDGr0AHRHoOb1ZvI5olGSsxxan5nnGBkWhcuImHk_o-F_XqTup6GqgL6nixBY56PJZLFauUCCY_pSvFRWeHlcrbbp2QxMZDU/s1600-h/IMG_girls.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_tsqrT7BPf2LtOwASTDbqjwvPtaCI3aTp4j6BnRQ60QcmDGr0AHRHoOb1ZvI5olGSsxxan5nnGBkWhcuImHk_o-F_XqTup6GqgL6nixBY56PJZLFauUCCY_pSvFRWeHlcrbbp2QxMZDU/s200/IMG_girls.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241621341787481234" /></a><br /><br />OK, are you tired yet? I was and this next weekend was my weekend in Denver, because the DNC was coming into town. Katrina and I got involved in May when we heard about the opportunity to be suite attendants at the Pepsi Center. We had no idea she was going to be serving the Governor of Colorado! And they told me I was going to be serving the Clintons, but that never happened. I was in charge of Senator Dick Durbin. He is known to be responsible for getting Obama on the way to run for President. He even introduced Obama at the Thursday acceptance speech. I had an amazing time and I was so happy to be a part of the DNC!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2-jpRSjXGS1CP_lNAhlr4KQG-pykmYXfe2HwE9yaGSWDxH-PzXbyFMOQ_1LU77-wEhecDV7lh4oQ7c3qTBAmldt9rvPggRId7IkiFMRayUI51ZBs4eNB91ecP3y5Uxvd5qlfdQb_zwM/s1600-h/dn.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2-jpRSjXGS1CP_lNAhlr4KQG-pykmYXfe2HwE9yaGSWDxH-PzXbyFMOQ_1LU77-wEhecDV7lh4oQ7c3qTBAmldt9rvPggRId7IkiFMRayUI51ZBs4eNB91ecP3y5Uxvd5qlfdQb_zwM/s200/dn.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241626394242939954" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRleIQ5dUSwJBC6Is8q5w02F3p5F9ZVz8lQjcpyC38ygGFgsXm3aP7R3VraHUaHnZdIlPFdroLE8JqjwtNDJufn6-vjX9XJhk1_-HyqpTy5yCbDb_mfIxY01_JN_5ybk51yWshQOI3q6I/s1600-h/dnc.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRleIQ5dUSwJBC6Is8q5w02F3p5F9ZVz8lQjcpyC38ygGFgsXm3aP7R3VraHUaHnZdIlPFdroLE8JqjwtNDJufn6-vjX9XJhk1_-HyqpTy5yCbDb_mfIxY01_JN_5ybk51yWshQOI3q6I/s200/dnc.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241626569442794130" /></a><br /><br />And my last weekend was spent celebrating a friends new adventure in life.

We entered the restaurant, sat at the bar and right off the bat we were asked the question of the night. Red or white... sangria. The red was a combination of acid and sweetness, while the white was smooth and sparkly. The white sangria I chose complimented our tapas wonderfully.<br /><br />The first tapas, or small plate, was a slice of manchego cheese toped with a tiny dollop of tapanade and a brush of olive oil. The cheese was a bit smoky and creamy while the tapanade came though with a bright punch of tart and smooth olive flavor. <br /><br />And the second plate was our favorite. You can’t beat a fried cheese ball, come on! But this wasn’t just any cheese. It was goat cheese coated in panko break crumbs and deep fried. After being fried it was topped with a honey chili sauce. The tart goat cheese in combination with the sweet honey chili sauce was amazing. And the crunchy panko added the perfect texture to the dish.<br /><br />Is your mouth watering too? <br /><br />Since my own trip to Spain I haven’t found any tapas bars that can compare, until the Ninth Door. I can’t wait to return.

Though, if you are in the mood for coconut milk and can afford the calories, go for it and make the substitution!<br /><br />The only switch I made to the recipe was we sliced a Jalepeno and a Serano chile instead of a Scotch Bonnet. Make sure to take these out before serving... or you can leave them in and give them to a lucky person at the table. Then watch them start to sweat...<br /><br />The flavors of the chile were balanced by the sweetness of the potato. And the pork became very tender. All the while, we sipped on our beverages that inspired us to look up this amazing dish.<br /><br />We served it with rice, but it was a bit too starchy for me. I would have rather had it as is. This would make an amazing vegetarian dish sans the pork...the bohlschmid'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16838381699336298840noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574880650936558780.post-50155718075363217842008-07-06T19:48:00.010-06:002008-07-16T16:46:19.387-06:00I'm a blogger!!!And I'm lovin' every minute of it.
