Homemade Tortilla Chips
Cherish @ My Cup of Tea
So, I told you that I would come back with a recipe for homemade tortilla chips, so here I am. 
 
LIST OF THINGS YOU NEED:
Tortillas (30 pack for large family)
Deep Frier
Oil
Salt
Pizza Cutter

We use the pizza cutter to cut the tortillas since it's neater than tearing them.  Then you fry 20-25 pieces for 5 minutes.  It will be a few rounds, but it's worth it.  Salt them and you're done!
 They are SO DELICIOUS!!!!!!!

This summer for fun we've been to the river a lot.  I usually take my camera wherever I go, but it has been a broken habit lately, so here is a picture of my pup at the river.  
Isn't she adorable?!?!!!

Crocheted Skirt FINALLY finished!!
Cherish @ My Cup of Tea
I know I know.  I was supposed to finish the skirt a long time ago.  And I did.  We've been so busy lately.  With me switching jobs, my hunny possibly switching jobs, the cars, the new house, school starting soon, and a few friend's weddings.  It's been a lot of time away from the computer.  But K has worn the skirt to two weddings.  Here are a couple pictures!!
 She likes snakes and lizards and other creepy crawlies.  Weird kid.  I was terrified of creepy crawlies when I was a kid.  Still am.  

Tomorrow I will be back to post my roommie's homemade tortilla chips.  My hunny made us BOMB nachos last night using them....YUMMM!

Turtle Place in Downtown Vancouver
Cherish @ My Cup of Tea
We were Downtown yesterday.  I wanted to go to Spanky's (only to realize they had closed).  So we decided to walk down to Turtle Place as we'd heard they put up a new sculpture.  Indeed they did!  I love it!  VERY Pacific NW!
It's a bunch of outdated equipment from Clark Public Utilities, C-Tran, & the department of the city in charge of street signals.  It's to remind us to Conserve, Reuse & Recycle.  I think it's absolutely genius, not to mention just plain awesome! The very top is an old street light where the water comes from making it a fountain!

Here is the mural, taken before the sculpture was moved here.  It now sits right about where that white pick-up is.

I really enjoy the character that Vancouver has to offer, I don't see myself ever moving from here.

**Keep in mind this used to be a transit center.  Much better!!
