Just Call Me Julia

I've been wanting to tackle Julia Child's most famous recipe, Boeuf Bourguignonne, especially since I saw "Julie and Julia" several months ago. Today was the big day! The recipe looks overwhelming, but is TOTALLY worth it! It's not too difficult, and I think I dirtied every pot in my kitchen, but it just takes most of the afternoon to cook. I just wish you could smell this dish through my blog....mmmmmm
Here is a link to the blog with the recipe I followed - she's even got some great pics.

Freedom Journey


In December of 2006, just 2 years after Byron died in Iraq, we decided to take a "Freedom Journey." We spent 3weeks on a road trip through the eastern US - from Austin east to Savannah, then all the way north to New England, and back a little inland to Texas. We traveled over 6000 miles in an effort to see our beautiful country and understand what Byron sacrificed his life for. We drove scenic routes, through small towns and big cities, stopping at places that held history in shaping our nation. We stopped at Veteran's Memorials, National Cemeteries, historical monuments and some of the most beautiful places in America. In each place, we left a "Freedom Rock," a smooth stone that had Byron's name and KIA date on one side, and said "Freedom Isn't Free" on the other. It was our way of taking Byron with us and leaving a bit of him in each special place. This experience was so healing for us, and truly one of the most memorable and special events of our entire lives. Here are our favorite pictures from the Freedom Journey.
