I still love Johnny Castle

I'm sad that Patrick Swazye has died. One of the first movies I remember seeing him in is "The Outsiders". We watched it in Mrs. Porter's 6th grade Gifted and Talented Reading class after we had finished reading the book. My favorite Patrick Swayze movie is of course Dirty Dancing. In junior high, though we were probably too young to be watching, we were all obsessed with Johnny Castle! I remember when my parents took me and a friend to Six Flags one summer, I bought the movie poster as my souvenir. I still cannot hardly flip past it if I find it on tv while channel surfing. I'm still waiting for my "Nobody puts Baby in the corner" moment in life...

It seems like I was just blogging about this darn movie, but I do still really like Point Break. Swayze was the bad guy bank robber in this movie... If you haven't seen it I may have just ruined it for you.
And of course Road House. Not great cinema, but a super buff Swayze cracks some heads, so what's not to like.

I know this could be controversial, but I'm not a huge "Ghost" fan. It kind of freaked me out a little.


What is your favorite Patrick Swayze movie?

This going to shock you (as if me weighing in on a movie issue isn't enough to shock you!) but I really liked Ghost and just never have cared much for dirty dancing. I think P.S. looked fabulous, don't get me wrong, but the show it's self didn't do much for me! '

I am really sad for he and his family!

I liked Ghost too. I watched a Barbara Walters special last night on ABC about Patrick and his wife. I was bawling when it was over. I'm so sad for his wife.

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
