Man VS. Food

Das and I a few weeks before we left for New York were watching Man vs. Food. This guy does some of the most challening food stuff. This episode just happened to be in New York. So we wrote them done to make sure we tried them out. The first one we tried was an Indian restaraunt. They make the hottest dish ever with 5-7 different kinds of chilies. Of course Das has to take the challenge of eating it.

                          
He started out by mixing a ton of rice with the curry dish. I swear he mixed it around for ever before taking his first bite. He even said he was nervous. But then we saw a fifteen year old sitting next to us pass the challenge. Our waiter told us that only abou 10% actually end up finishing it.

                          

Well he was definitely hurting only after a few bites.  I couldn't help snatch all these pictures to document it.  I didn't think he was gonna make it.

  But he did it!  He kept  on going and going, and he finished!
And of course he couldn't except the free beer, but he got a mangolasi instead to sooth his mouth.  I just wish he had something to smooth the other end later on. hehe

Good Job Das!

Memorial Weekend in St. George

I'm trying to catch up on my blogging.  So many things have gone on the last couple of months.  One being our weekend in St. George with the Meyers.  We invited Rick and Ambur down to my parents condo for the weekend and it was such a great idea.  The kids all had a great time playing together, and we couldn't have asked for better company.  The first day we took the kids swimming at the condo pool.  And then to a park to play some sports and eat lunch.  After that we needed some cooling down, so we went swimming again.  Then to a pirate pizza place for dinner.  It was also my birthday and Das had them come up to sing to me.  Funny guy!

Then on Sunday we headed to Sand Hollow.  We have been there before and it is a great place to take the kids.  Rick and Ambur also brought a wave runner.  I had never been on one.  So Das took me for  a very slow ride.:)  Our boys wouldn't get on it, but all the other kids really enjoyed it.

Das and Ashton relaxing in the hot heat.  The sand was also very hot.

But the kids liked to lay in it to warm up.  It is also very soft sand, so perfect to play in.

After the beach, we headed back to the condo and made some dinner.  Steve and Teresa joined us for dinner and came back for breakfast the next morning.  My mother said that that is probably the first time the dinning room table has ever been used.

Always sad when its time to clean up and come home.  Can't wait to do it again.
