DISNEYLAND!!!

I have purposely avoided writing about or even THINKING about his till today.

Today is exactly ONE WEEK till I get to go to DISNEYLAND!

There are a lot of "Firsts" involved with this trip. It's the first time I've ever gone for just one day. It's the first time I've ever gone with my Sister. It's the first time I'm ever going in June. First time I'll be there while NOTHING is closed for refurbishment!

I'll wake up Jan at the ungodly hour of 6:30am (giving her maybe 6 hours of sleep?) so she can shower and get dressed and have some coffee before we drive to The Park and stand at the gates so we can be the first ones in at 8am. There's nothing awesomer than being one of the first people in the gate, getting to see Disneyland *empty* and filling up all around you :)

Dear Internet Cooking Websites

If your "Recipe" calls for a package of store-made seasoning (like those Lawreys Seasonings for Taco, Chili, Spaghetti, etc) and/or a can of the food that you are trying to make (Chili, Spaghetti Sauce), I don't think it's *technically* a recipe is it? It's kind of like sharing your recipe for Big Macs, which is Go To McDonalds And Buy A Big Mac.

I need to know what I did wrong with my Chili, dammit! I have a hunch that it's the "Hot Paprika" that Kanani gave me, and that I used too much of it. But it could also be the "Kosher" salt that we bought at The Dollar Store.

Whatever it is, I just ruined 2 large onions, 4 Bell Peppers (Red & Green) and countless Jalapeno, Annahiem and other assorted peppers :(
