Thumbs UP! Way UP!


Did you see Disney/Pixars movie "UP"? Well if not you should check it out. But for Jonathan Trappe he saw it and got inspired. He tied a lot of balloons to a wicker chair-sans house and floated across the English Channel from the UK to France. Now he may not have gone as far or as high as Carl from UP but its a good first step I think.

i think we should try this later on this summer. do you think we can make it to disney in a lawn chair?

MoJo said...

YES! I think we should. Now Florida is closer then California. Maybe we would need more then a lawn chair, like two lawn chairs and a cooler in between for snacks.

Start picking up some balloons and I will too!

MoJo, I have changed my blog template. I haven't posted anything since forever, but I have changed my blog template.

by the by, I have also created two awesome new recipes that you, lewd., and special k should try. I've adjusted my omelette recipe to add sliced black olives to green peppers and onions, and I have switched cheeses to grated parmesan romano. If I do say so myself, these combined flavors rock the casbah.

My other new recipe is grilled chicken caesar salad. same black olives, same grated parmesan romano cheese, same amazing flavor.

I will also be reprising my incredible successes with grilled ribs and brats and beer.

the pool should be open soon as well.

so how about visiting one weekend soon? we can chillax by the pool, maybe drive down to AC in the pm one night.

what say you, MoJo Peenix?

Sounds like a good time! Let's do it! I'll have my people contact your people and, uh, we'll make it date, ja??

MoJeeeeee, I made ribs last night, just to re-test the recipe (and did I mention there's a new grill here?). Anyway, all summer food systems are GO.

And just this morning saw the first butterfly of the season perching on the butterfly bush.

Some technical difficulties with the pool, but should be okay. Will keep your people posted on this.
