Happy Valentines Day, Part 2...Dinner
Nick and I decided to stay home for Valentine's Day instead of going out to fight the crowds. We also decided that since we had a gift certificate to a gormet meat shop, we would make something we never eat. We bought 3 lbs of crab legs (the seafood guy was cool and hooked us up with some colosal ones too) As a kid I went crabbing in Oregon, but since then I have probably had crab legs twice, and I think Nick had only had them once before. We made a homemade steamer out of a stock pot, a pyrex bowl and a plate. We also had gruyere potato gratin and creamy garlic shells, it was so good, we ate all but 3 legs.
Happy Valentines Day, Part 1...Best Boyfriend Ever
So my boyfriend who can't keep presents from me, decided to give me my valentines day gift 2 days early! (because that's when it came in the mail) I can't say he doesn't listen...he got me the Pinto purse. How awesome is that? It's SO cute. Yea Nick!

Super Bowl Eats
So we were invited to a super bowl party/get together at our friends Ben & Val's house. I thought I would make the infamous Buffalo Chicken Dip to take as a nice snack. Well, it's super easy to make, the hardest part is hand shredding the chicken. It looks a little gross but tastes pretty damn good. It's all the flavor of chicken wings without the mess on your fingers. Get the recipe here.

Cars...More Than Transportation
I love seaching the internet for interesting goods to buy, or wish I could buy. (See list on my sidebar --->) As some of you already know I mentioned the seatbelt bag last year and my mom bought it for me when she was on a business trip. I have carried it everyday since, but it's starting to get dirty. I'm sure there is some fancy seatbelt cleaner available but to be honest I kinda want a new purse and then I'll clean this one for later. Ok, so now that I've said all that, I found these bags and I LOVE them. They are made from vintage automotive fabrics.
I am especially fond of the 1977 ford pinto, the 1978 ford mustang and the 1977 chevy caravan. The Pinto is definitly my favorite, not only is it cute enough to carry everyday, but it's got to be a GREAT coversation starter.
