My favorite part of today
Holding Hands
What You're Reading
My something sweet photo is a picture of a fake flower somehow left behind on a hiking trail we went on! If you're in Oklahoma, and want a fun place to go fishing, hiking, climbing, or camping ya'll should check out Osage State Park, which is located just west of Bartlesville! We had a blast hiking through the park for about 5 miles (which didn't begin to cover all the trails they have)! We can't wait to go back when the weather is nicer and go camping and see everything this park has to offer! If you want some good ideas, stop by the ranger station! They are very friendly and will point you in your whatever direction your heart desires!
My self portrait picture! Dee Jay came home from work, and saw my hair and told me I looked like a flapper girl from back in the day! I was trying a Pinterest hair-do which is supposed to make you wake up with curly hair! Well, I woke up with curly hair, on the downside it was big enough to send me back 30 years to the 80's! So...I won't be doing that one again, but at least I tried!
This pineapple was a gift to myself! :) It's been so long since I've bought a fresh pineapple and I couldn't resist them at the store! So I bought it, and will be devouring it today! Can't wait!
My handwriting on Wednesday! We had a snow storm blow through Okla and it was absolutely beautiful! We have another one on the forecast, and of course it's going to be almost 60 today and then by Tuesday morning, we may have more snow on the ground! Gotta love OK weather!
This was my favorite part of the day on Thursday! My sister had a pampered chef party at her house, and my sweet nephew was missing DJ! So we snapped this picture (sorry it's so blurry, he was holding the phone and trying to wave at DJ at the same time) and sent it to D at work to say hello! Love anytime I get with my family :)
I looked at the days wrong, but it's okay! Saturday was supposed to be holding hands and Friday was supposed to be, what you're reading. I switched since I don't know my days of the week! LOL
I know that we are completely behind on reading this book! We've seen the movie, and I'm trying to finish the book now! My nieces LOVE "The Hunger Games", so I decided if I want to know what they are talking about at all, I needed to read the book myself! I'm enjoying the book!
Okay, before we finish out the day, I want to share with you a FANTASTIC place we went and ate with some friends yesterday! S&J Oyster Company, in downtown Tulsa (around 1st and Elgin) is WONDERFUL! The service, the food, the atmosphere, the location...ALL OF IT was outstanding! If you're looking for a great place to try out downtown I highly recommend this place!
Oyster's on the half shell! I really can't explain the absolute wonderfulness of this appetizer! They made our cocktail sauce right there in front of us, and it was the perfect amount of spicy and tart! I like to put my oyster's on a cracker, however you can just take them right from the shell! (It's a texture thing for me! The cracker gives the crunchy texture that I need.)
This was my main dish!
Crawfish Etouffee!
Gorgeous presentation, and a taste to match! The pickled jalapeno, the buttered bread, the rice, the crawfish, & the sauce, all came together for the most wonderful fusion of flavors! I can't wait to go back and try something else sometime soon! Baseball season is right around the corner, and this is isn't far from the ball park!
In my opinion, this place has earned my repeat business, and if you haven't tried...you should!
Stay tuned for more great food and the final photo challenge update for February!
Until then...
