Crawfish Boil

First crawfish of the year came at an epic crawfish boil thrown by the Feagan house dudes in conjunction with other friends. Hundreds of pounds of crawfish and potatoes and corn, yum! It was a pretty epic party overall with corn hole, a slip-n-slide, twister, and of course great friends!

Miles of mud bugs!

A Sweet Intent Confectionary

A few weekends ago I went to the Kemah Crawfish Festival with some peeps. There were lots of vendors and, of course, a ton of crawfish. Let me just tell you that the crawfish was terrible and not worth the money I paid to park, enter, and buy the crawfish. The mud bugs tasted literally like mud and had zero seasoning. I highly recommend staying away from this event in the future. However, I did run across a cupcake vendor at the event that wasn't bad. A Sweet Intent Confectionery was selling their wares at the festival and I decided to try a creamsicle cake pop. The cake pop was orange creamsicle coating with chocolate cake. I wasn't really expecting the chocolate cake since creamsicle means vanilla to me, but it wasn't bad. I know a lot of people like that chocolate and orange flavor combo, so it probably is a good seller. This place is only special order for now, but you can check them out at their Facebook page and maybe catch them at their next event!


Enjoy!

Memorial Day

Whoopsies, I took a rather large break from blogging during my move. Now that things have settled down a bit, I am happy to report that all of my things (and Christine's) are in the new apartment. Minor setbacks: DirecTV claims my apartment faces the wrong way for their service even though my near neighbors have dishes; didn't have a microwave or stove top for the first weekend because the apartment peeps forgot to finish setting up my apartment; no Internet. Luckily, after moving in, we had loads of fun for Memorial Day weekend. Our friend Brian had a Memorial Day/ Mike's Going Away/ Danny and RV's Birthday Crawfish Boil. It was quite the celebration. Christine bought balloons for all the events and Brian made sure his house was red, white, and blue ready. I made dark chocolate cream cheese cupcakes (at Mike's request) and Oreo chunk chocolate chip cookies and enjoyed lots of crawfish! Here are some photos from our weekend:




And I'd like to say thanks to all in the military who are working hard to protect this country, yesterday, today, and tomorrow! Happy (belated) Memorial Day everyone!
