Happy Merry Christmas Eve!

Filed under: Food, Holiday — heather @ 10:51 pm

We spent Christmas Eve at Hotel Valencia on the Riverwalk. Ever since the Valencia opened I had wanted to spend a night there and was thrilled to find a special Rackspace rate of $89 per night, the same room is normally $149. Check in was easy and we enjoyed our modernly decorated room and even found a copy of San Antonio magazine in which has an article about Rackspace and a picture of Darrell.

We had reservations for Boudro’s at 5:30pm so we set out down the river. It was such a beautiful and unusually warm (in the 70’s) day we asked to sit outside. I ordered a tasty Prickly Pear Margarita:

Jones Soda National Holiday Pack – Don’t Do It!

Filed under: Food, Holiday — Administrator @ 6:20 pm

I noticed the Jones Soda National Holiday Pack on the clearance rack at Super Target so I picked one up to give as a white elephant gift for our Team’s holiday party. I thought it made for a pretty good gift and went back for one of my own the following weekend.

Tonight we decided to open the bottles and have a few sips of the following flavors:

Soda Pack

Brussels Sprout with Prosciutto, Cranberry Sauce, Turkey & Gravy, Wild Herb Stuffing, and Pumpkin Pie.

It also came with a serving spoon (spork), moistened towelette, and wine list.

Rice rice baby…

Filed under: Food — Administrator @ 7:26 pm

I suck at making rice. I can boil an egg perfectly and make a mean cheesecake but when it comes to rice I am completely helpless.

Tonight I attempted to cook two cups of brown rice to 2.5 cups of water in the rice cooking basket contraption within my steamer. I set it to cook 45 minutes and there was still water to be absorbed so I let it cook another 20. After twenty minutes there was *still* water in the bottom of the basket. I turned off the steamer and thought draining the rice would be a good idea. Well, it wasn’t!

bad rice

I tasted the rice and it isn’t done!

Ugh!!

Update 12/13: Oopsie! I think I messed this up because I mis-read the instructions.
