It’s time for another Summer Update. This one’s about…Pool Party! I think I’m still recovering from a long, hard weekend of cold beers, underwater photos, limoncello shots, diving into the “No Diving” end, hot sausages, pimiento cheese, some stuff I shouldn’t talk about, and one lost flip flop. Several things to celebrate this past weekend: Mr. Alan’s un-birthday, BF’s nursing school milestone, and Mark’s new found awesomeness at playing DJ Hero. Let’s begin.
We had at our disposal an underwater camera. Under water is a great place to take pictures, as you will see. Notice my Port Aransas pedicure is still kickin' it!
My Hero! This picture is not underwater. Unless somebody got some under water cats and an under water Xbox. But I doubt that.
This is harder than it looks. That's what he said! Seriously though, I got water up my nose four times.
This is what the promo shot for British Bikini Astronauts would look like, if such a movie were made. Just sayin'.
And somewhere in there we had sausage wraps with pimiento cheese in them. They was gooood!
(And on the side, here’s my recipe for pimiento cheese which is very delicious despite what your friend told you. Also, has anyone seen my flip flop?)
Pimiento Cheese
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 Tablespoons mustard ( I like dijon or spicy brown, but whatever)
1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
4 oz jar pimientos, drained and chopped
Optional: 1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped OR pickled jalapenos, chopped OR 2 tablespoons Ajvar
Mash all that together. It helps if the cream cheese is softened. Eat that with healthy stuff like celery sticks or just make a sandwich.
I create short-form, educational, and occasionally hilarious cooking videos geared towards beginner and intermediate cooks, as well as people who are just looking for simple, low-cost recipes. Everything is made from scratch, people!
