Senior Night

I might have mentioned that I'm a Duke fan a time or two.

I always get a little depressed on Duke’s Senior Night. I remember the Senior Nights of JJ Redick, Lee Melchionni (remember when he kissed the center court D? I was in tears!)  Jon Scheyer, Brian Zoubek, and Miles Plumlee. Before the game when they go through the team and receive hugs, I’m alright. Then they get to Coach K. I’m gone. I know how I feel when I witness Senior Night, but I can’t imagine how he feels. I know he’s trying to keep it together.

Mason Plumlee, Ryan Kelly, and Seth Curry, have their turn at Senior Night in Cameron tonight. I don’t know them, (I’ve met Mason) but when you watch them for 4 years and go through ups and downs with them, you get attached.

Mason and I: meeting number 2
Mason will always have a special place in my heart. I was at my first Duke game, standing on the court getting my picture taken. I looked up, and there he was with a crowd around him. He was the first Duke player I got my picture taken with and my first autograph. Luckily, I’ve met him a second time got another picture, and autograph. He just exudes niceness.  Not to mention he is an absolute beast on the court!




 
 
Ryan and Seth, I’ve never met you, but have watched you fellas play religiously throughout your years at Duke. Thank you for the incredible memories you have given me. Thank you for being classy players and good role models.


Seth Curry's Mom!
Please know, that while I may be sad tonight knowing that your career at Duke is winding down, (thank goodness for tournament time!) I will always be grateful for the memories you have given me whether at Cameron or on my couch in front of my TV.

 I expect great things from all of you! #dukebasketballneverstops

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

Christmas/New Year's Recap

First, I just want to say that I have absolutely no pictures from Christmas. I'm terrible, I know. In my defense, I was sick all through Christmas and just wasn't feeling "it." I do however, have pictures of some of the gifts I received and New Year's. Christmas Eve dinner was hosted by my parents and I. We had lasagna, wedding soup, salad, bread, and Italian butter. I made a homemade alfredo sauce to go along with the lasagna. I also made the Italian butter, and attempted to make my homemade French bread. This year, the bread did not turn out. For dessert, I made white chocolate raspberry shooters. They were SO good! I will do a recipe on those when I make them again! After everything was cleaned up, we honestly just relaxed. I would have liked to have gone to Christmas Eve service at our church, but I was coughing, clearing my throat every 5 minutes, and blowing my nose every 10. I was a hot mess. My grandparents came back out to our house after church and w...
