For the Love of TV

I love tv. I think I've always loved tv. I don't remember a time when I didn't.

For my 5th birthday, my great grandfather brought me a Zenith 19 inch color television for my room. It had a huge remote control because among it's features, it included a speaker phone, and you could dial up the phone numbers from the remote.  I kept that televisions and watched it religiously until it went out when I was 17.

This is me on my 5th birthday. Don't I look like a kid in need of my own tv?  I was a bit spoiled.
It was 1981 and a Barbie party, 'nuff said.
This past weekend was my weekend off between my two weeks of teaching 17 hour weekends and next week's final teaching weekend.  I basically dedicated my entire weekend to television.

Friday night, I caught up on all the shows I have missed over the last couple of weeks.

Yesterday, my friend Billy came over for a Newsroom marathon. Today, on top of some great television that's on tonight, the Emmys are on. It's television's big night. I'm a sucker for award shows, but I also love cheering on my favorites of television.

To round out my weekend of "for the love of television", many of our favorite shows begin with their new seasons this week. I love when all our television "friends" come back into our life after their long vacation. A couple of weeks ago, I mapped out a calendar so I knew when all my shows would air and when they premiered. I didn't want to miss a thing.

I've already started watching a couple of new shows, but I'm not in love with any yet.  We are still getting to know each other, so to speak.  There are a few others I want to check out when the start up too. What about you, any new shows you area looking forward to?  What about old ones that are returning?

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
