Show and Tell: Most Embarrassing Moment

Before I start today's post, I want to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day! You better believe that I will be listening to Celtic Thunder, wearing my green, and playing the tin whistle today!! An even bigger event today, is my Grandpa's 92 birthday!! He is a lucky leprechaun!!

Today's post is another installment of Momfessional's Show and Tell! Up today is our most embarrassing moment. Oh dear. I'm afraid I have many of these, and not many pictures to prove it. Just trust me that these happened, and laugh with me, okay?

The first embarrassing moment happened in gym class during high school. We were playing volleyball (ugh!) and it was definitely not my sport. So the ball was hit, and I went to go after it. I got my arms in position and was getting ready to send the ball back over the net, and it hit me smack dab in the face!!! I wasn't even close to hitting it over. I could not have been hit more squarely with the ball. Luckily, I had no injuries, just a slightly bruised ego. I much preferred the days we played badminton or bocce. ;)

Another moment I had was when I met one of my favorite baseball players. My family and I went to Toronto and were staying at the team hotel. (The good days of Cleveland Indians baseball!) We were getting ready to leave the hotel to go on a tour of the city, and saw a charter bus out front. Lo and behold, out come Indians players. They were all getting ready to head to the ballpark to prepare for the game. I was off in a corner because I mean, famous people! (I was so shy, so starstruck. These people belonged on my TV screen, not feet away from me!) I walk around the corner and almost ran into my favorite player. He was still new at the time, so he didn't have a shirt with his name on the back. So I had one made. My mom and dad did all of the talking, I showed him my shirt, got a couple photos taken, and he was on the bus. The best part of the story is that the only coherent thing I could say was, "he smelled so good." If I said it once, I said it fifty times. Not one of my best moments.

My last story is at another Indians game. We went to a game on a sweltering July day. Of course, you want to cool off with some ice cream. They had the best! My order was always twist ice cream in a waffle cone. However, in the heat of that day, it began to melt quicker that I could eat it! To say that I had ice cream everywhere was an understatement. It was running down my shirt, in my socks, on my shoes. I was a chocolaty, sticky mess! I can only imagine the sight I was leaving the ballpark that day! When I went back to the hotel, I was instructed to immediately get a shower. Haha! That moment still gets brought up from time to time when I eat ice cream.

I can't wait to read your embarrassing moments! We might as well just laugh right? It happens to the best of us! Leave me a comment and let me read about your not so stellar moments!

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...

It's Been Awhile...

 Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet.  I will give you a little reintroduction of myself.  I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough.  I don't know if I am going to commit to a full 5 days on here yet. I'll play it by ear, and if you'll stick with me, I think we can do some great things here!  I...

YouTube-a-palooza

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!*  :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show!  You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6,  parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and  BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!"  He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar...
