kendal's wild ride
he calls it a horse, and he rides it down town. watch carefully, and you'll see the horse buck kendal right off! kendal thinks this video is really funny. we almost took a video of him watching it... i think it was better on film!
(note both holly and kendal making the horse noise. this is one of holly's favorite animal sounds...)

oh wow. crying lightning.
what a great new-ish song by the arctic monkeys. this song brings back some memories!
Outside the café by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude
As you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick n mix
Said your mistaken if you thinking that I ain't been called cold before
As you bit into your strawberry lace,
And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper,
Is all you have left and it was going to waste
Your past times
Consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called
Crying Lightning
And how you like to aggravate the ice cream man on rainy afternoons
The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on it's way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never look like yourself from the side
But your profile did not hide,
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne.
With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
Saw them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war
And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp, no gaps to claw
And your past times
Consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying Lightning
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
Uninviting
But not have as impossible as everyone assumes
You are Crying Lightning
Your past times
Consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying Lightning
Crying Lightning
Crying Lightning
Crying Lightning
Your past times
Consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying...

white chili recipe
my sister in law introduced me to white chili but i have yet to master her recipe. if my memory serves me correctly, her chili is better than this... but this week, i was CRAVING some white chili, so had to try something else... that maybe i'd have some success with.
this recipe is good. it isn't spicy (holly ate it for 2 days straight - she LOVED it), and the ingredients are simple. the only thing i had to buy was the green chilis (in the mexican food section) and an onion. everything else i had on hand (trimmed, frozen chicken breasts and broth i made from previously cooking chicken was in the freezer). oh, no, wait - i also bought a fresh garlic head for this. i have garlic-in-a-jar, but i thought i'd go "fancy" and use the fresh stuff for this recipe. don't know if it made a difference or not, but it was GOOD!
the only difference in what i did was that i put my whole, frozen chicken breasts in the pot and let them cook - and once they were done, i just pulled them out and let them cool, then i shredded them by hand back into the pot (rather than baking them first - that way you are sort of making your own broth in the pot too...). again, my breasts were trimmed, there was little to no fat on them. and, i omitted the chicken broth and used 2 cups of my own chicken stock and then i also added about a cup of water. that eventually cooked out since i simmered mine for about 3 hours. and, i used a 7 oz can of green chilis.
BOB TALBERT'S WHITE CHILI
1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, washed and patted dry. (Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.)
2 cans (14 oz. ea.) chicken broth
1 jar (48 oz.) great northern beans, with liquid
1 large onion, chopped
2 t. minced fresh garlic
1 can (3 oz.) chopped green chilies, with liquid
2 t. ground cumin (dried)
1 t. ground oregano (dried)
Garnish with green chopped onion tops, shredded cheese or tortilla chips (optional)
In a large pot, pour small amount of broth. Add onion and garlic and simmer until onion is wilted and hot. Add the chilies, stir, then add broth and beans with liquid. Mix in the cumin and oregano. Bring to a boil and add chicken pieces. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
(Serves 6)
