Skagway Burgers

A couple weeks ago Mom and I shared "The Sedona" burger which I incorrectly reffered to as the "Southwest" burger and we both agreed it was the best burger we had ever had. Ironically, "The Sedona" burger was not found in Sedona or the Southwest but in Skagway, Alaska.

Best burger ever!!! So good that last weekend I called "The Skagway Brewing Company" and asked what was in their great burger. Not only did I get the overall ingredients, I got to speak to the guy who thought it up and I decided that on Sunday I would

be making what we refer to as "Skagway Burgers". So Mom and I made Skagway Burgers and Becca pitched in with a salad and fries. So while the burgers we made looked great and tasted great they weren't quite as good as the ones in Skagway but they are highly recommended.

Ingredients:
1/2 pound beef
pepper jack cheese
cream cheese (the trick)
onion strings
charred jalapenos
bacon
red pepper aioli
lettuce
tomato

The Alaska Cruise Recap: Day 6

While David went on a photo safari on saw bears and other wildlife, the rest of us walked through Ketchikan. It was a great a town but our time there was much too short. I'd love to go back!














The Alaska Cruise Recap: Day 5

We spent most of Day 5 cruising Glacier Bay. It was spectacular, the Glaciers here are in the process of receding and we actually saw several chunks of the Glacier fall into the Bay. I know that I don't look even remotely like myself in the picture of me in the Alaska hat (particularly the one second from the bottom), not sure what that is about.

























I Like Green Beans

But my mom is convinced they are giving me tummy aches.

A Note To My Husband

The day one of your photos appears on the front page of the Pasadena Star News, another one of your photos appears on the front page of the Sports section and two more of your photos appear on the inside of the sports section is probably not the day you should ask to buy a new camera citing that you "barely got any good shots last night".

Congratulations on the front page of the paper and the sports section. You rock!

In A Crisis, Remove Your Bra

As I pointed out in my earlier post, my favorite "tweet" of the day was the one that told me about the emergency bra that turns into a gas mask. See here for full article.

Basically, in an emergency you can take off your bra and have a a full on respiratory "gas" mask for yourself and as the article says "a friend".

I have to wonder, in a crisis don't you think someone would assault you for it? Still, it looks like a cute bra, it's good for emergency prepardness and for $29.95 can you really g go wrong?

What I Learned Today From Twitter (By 9:00AM)

  • A bra that turns into a gas mask has hit the market
  • The Netflix CEO said "self absorbed" Americans won't notice Canadian discount
  • Kate Perry was banned from Sesame Street for showing cleavage
  • A Montana woman fended off a bear attack with a Zucchini
  • The Titanic hit the iceberg because the officer "steering"went the wrong way
  • The Mayo Clinic states that online consultations could reduce the need for face to face appointments by 40%
  • A Typhoon in China killed 54 and 42 were missing
  • Bugs were found in Similac Baby formula and it was being recalled
  • Ellen DeGeneres discovered something strange on her porch (I appreciated the picture)
  • Royal Caribbean was following me

First Mugshot Taken With Baby




The Alaska Cruise Recap: Day 4

There is alot missing from Day 4 in Skagway since most of my moms pictures were lost and David has yet to produce his for us. I will definitely add more of this gorgeous area when we get David's shots.

In Skagway we took the White Pass Yukon Train and it was awesome. This excursion than took us up further in the Yukon to Caribou Crossing where Sydney saw a plethora of animals at an Iditerod training camp. We then took a bus back to Skagway where we walked around the town, paid $13.50 for two Iced Venti Chai's that were supposedly Starbucks but not at all. Good thing we finished off the day at the Skagway Brewing Company where mom and I had the best cheeseburgers of our lives! Ironically, it was the Southwest burger and we were nowhere near the Southwest but it was FANTASTIC.
