Go Skinny Dipping or Streaking in a public place




Well, either go big or go home, i pretend to always say! hehehe, which is pretty funny cause i was totally about to chicken out of this one this morning!
Soooo....
My wife and I packed up the kids and headed out to Fraternity Snoqualmie, the nudist colony, to participate in the world record skinny dip. How it works is that aanr is trying to beat its record for the most skinny dippers at a time. This is being done all over the world (i'm guess at noon) and they get the calculations from all the spots. Last year they had 13, 654 or something like that. This colony that we went to had something like 186 last year and due to my baby girl, we made it 187! whoo hoo!
About the colony itself...yeah, it was a lot of weird when we got there but after being in a pool with close to 200 other naked people, you sorta get over it! The park was really nice with a deep pool with a slide and then a huge wading pool. There was a lounge house with a tv, a store, a large lot for camping out and a playground. What really made it special was the people. They were SO NICE! they spoke to us openly and shared their food and stories. For the most part, we had joined a big community and were very welcomed in. Which, when you are buck naked, is a good thing!
After we chilled in the pool for a bit (which was heated...another plus) we laid on the grass and tanned for a bit. I seriously could of done that ALL DAY. unfortunately we didn't know how the whole thing was going to go down and didn't pack for an extended stay. But for reals, if they do it again, i think my whole family is going to make a day of it!
Anyone want to join!?!

Cook a foreign dish you've never prepared before


Yay Martha stankin' Stewart! If you know me, you know i have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with trying to be the next martha stewart. I know, i know the world is not ready for a BLACK MALE martha stewart (and nor will my wife be really please if i receive that title) but i can't let it go! I pass by one of her LIVING MAGAZINES and i'm drawn to the perfection of it! Every craft is perfect, the cakes: perfect, the color schemes: perfect! wait a second...do i have an issue about wanting to be perfect...oh dear...this is more unhealthy than i thought!


Anyhoo...i made Lamb-and-cucumber kebabs with feta sauce...sort of. I really make Pork-and-cucumber kebabs with sour cream! Close enough. Lamb is pretty expensive and feta sauce...i wasn't able to get to the store in time.


Now, you might think, CUCUMBER KEBABS. Yup, ren (my wife) thought the same exact thing. Also, once all the meat was marinating in lemon juice, she informed me that she really doesn't like meat and lemon together. Great, i thought, this meal is going to suck! But SURPRISE, martha never leads me astray! The kebabs were delicious. Grilled cucumber is amazing and i made the best dang Greek tasting kebabs ever! I even have a picture to prove it!
