Here is a part of one of my Dad's posts. To read more, please check his site.

I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a Phillies fan. Growing up in Central New Jersey, you were either a Mets, Yankees or a Phillies fan. While I rooted for both the Mets and the Yankees (they were in different leagues after all), I could never stomach rooting for the Phillies. With that said, I can still appreciate some of the great players they had in my youth…Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Larry Bowa, Greg Luzinski. I’m sure there are others too. Philly was just too far away though so I never bothered with them. For you Phillies fans, here are a couple of great deals to keep you coming back!

THE WINNER IS IN!!! The winning entry for the contest came from Wayne, who left this funny photo as his entry! I was all over it, mainly because I love cats. That face was too cute to resist, and paired up with words, it stole the contest.

Ok, so now that that is out of the way, on to the rest of my blog! I wanted to share an awesome recipe that my Dad created for his pulled pork. It is an easy-to-make meal that can be thrown in the crokpot and forgotten until you are ready to eat. This recipe is also found on www.buybuymomma.blogspot.com


Pulled Pork Rollups

Ingredients:

3 pounds of pork butt or pork roast (frozen)
1 onion
1  18 ounce bottle of Kraft Hickory flavored Barbecue Sauce
1 pinch Italian seasoning spice
water
1 red pepper
sour cream
1/2 bag of shredded cheddar cheese (16 ounce)
1 package of Pepito flour tortillas (burrito size)

Preparation:

Pour one cup of water into the crock pot and then place the frozen meat into the crock pot.

Chop up 1/2 an onion and place it on the meat. Add one pinch of italian seasoning spice over the meat.

Pour the Hickory Barbecue Sauce over the meat making sure to cover the entire roast. When the bottle is empty add 1/3 of a bottle of water and swish it about to clear the extra sauce from the bottle and then pour it into the crock pot making sure not to splash the meat.

Turn the crock pot on high and forget about it for 9 or 10 hours. The added water will help keep the meat moist and the pork will shred easily after this time period. Given the meat was frozen, you WILL NOT overcook the meat over this time frame.

Chop up the rest of the onion and put it in a small bowl.
Clean and chop up the red pepper and place in a bowl.
Place the shredded cheese in a bowl.
Scoop the sour cream into a bowl

At dinner time, place the pork onto a large plate and shred it with a knife and fork. The meat will be very tender and shred easily.

Give everyone a warmed tortilla and have them make their own roll up. Add raw onion and red pepper to taste as well as cheese and sour cream. 

OK, well there is the recipe. Be sure to be on the lookout for more easy recipes on: www.buybuymomma.blogspot.com

The Friendship Festival on Wizard101

Since Valentine's Day is approaching, Wizard101 is hosting a series of contests! Many fansites are giving away mounts, packs, and more! The fansites are giving away 2 and 3 player mounts, including the brand new, 2-player SKYVERN!!!!! Below are a list of fansites hosting contests.

Most of the contests just require a simple email or click of a mouse, but other require pictures. The Wizard101 Facebook page has a contest going where you take a screenshot of you and your best friend and submit it to see if it wins. For those of you who don't know what a screenshot is or how to take one, here are the instructions (only works for Wizard101)

1. Log onto Wizard101
2. Find a good location that you want to take the picture in. I recommend a setting created using housing objects.
3. Pose!
4. Hit the "prtscn" button on your keyboard.

If you followed these instructions, a blue message should flash across the bottom of your screen saying where the image was stored, etc. etc.

Next, click on the "Wizard101 Facebook Page" button on this page. This should take you to the contest page. Enter, and then you just sit back and see if you win!

Good Luck to anyone who decides to enter!!!!

Wizard101

Not my mount!

There is a new W101 pack out in the crowns shop, THE SKYVERN'S HOARD! The skyvern hoard gives you a chance to win new Azteca themed gear and weapons, the brand new velociraptor pet, and the ultimate prize- the two-player skyvern mount! The pack is now in the crowns shop for 399 crowns. Also, as part of pack-a-palooza, the nightmare and yuletide packs have been brought back for a limited time. Also, all packs are currently half off.

I have been doing really good on Wizard101. My character, Marissa Mooncloud, is currently a level 64. I am not trying to level her up right now, I am saving up for a house that I really want. I have 55437 gold out of the 100,000 that I need. The house that I am saving for is the Island Getaway. 

For those of you that do not play Wizard101, the Island Getaway is this really fancy house. When you walk in the door, there is a beach with waves crashing, and there's a waterfall with a cave behind it .... It is just very beautiful and I NEED it. I am confident that I can get it because I have saved that amount of gold in the past with no problems. For some reason, this time it is taking me a lot longer to earn the money.

Well, I have 3 more math problems to do before the day is done, plus a lecture on Mark Twain, so I am going to end my think a thought here. 

Later,

Maddie
