Meet Kali

'Just a little info to personalize this blog a bit, here is our dog! This is Kali. (Pronounced Kah-Lee). This beautiful pup was named after a form of martial arts called Eskrima, coming from the Phillipines. It is weapon-based fighting with sticks, knives, etc. She is as much adorable as she is a complete spaz. She plays fetch with herself, wakes up everyday at 7am (sigh), and loves squirrels! And rabbits, and birds, and cats, and opossums, and . . . . My boyfriend bought her a little over 2 years ago and, of course, we've had her ever since. We both share a great sense of curiosity and love for animals. I'll post more pictures as we shoot! Xo!

Camping This Fall & Great Kabobs

    
  As I walked through the door of my home here in the suburbs of Dallas, I already began to miss the outdoors. When you are in the country, sleeping on the ground and eating from what the fire cooks; it is more than humbling. For us women, they aren't any mirrors to constantly check our reflection, make-up to spackle our faces, or heels to bondage our feet, lest they would aerate the ground. All there is, is the people you surround yourself with, the crackling of the fire, the rustling of the trees. Let us quiet our speech and listen to the earth breathe. Of course I understand and appreciate the commodities; running water, electricity, they are all wonderful things! But, to feel a sense of commradery, get away from the stresses of everyday, and cook a tasty dinner? Beautiful.

Kabobs:

Ingredients:
Bell peppers (all colours)
Onions, sliced and mini
Meat (we used both sirloin steak chopped and fajita meat)
Limes to squeeze
Skewers

Cut em up, stick on the skewers, place them on a grill or fire! Easy enough! Yummy!
