Ocular Update, Culinary Musings and Football.

Well, I can look up now.  This is day #2 of not having to stare at the ground.  And what better way to celebrate that than watching Julie & Julia with my momma and then watching the BCS Championship game.

All I have to say is WAR EAGLE!  A loss for Alabama that other team is a win for EVERYONE else.  And let's be honest - if you are a quarterback from Texas and your actual God-given name is Colt McCoy you deserve to win. 

I am also now dying to make a batch of the bruschetta that is shown in the opening scenes of Julie & Julia.  You know, the one with the heirloom tomatoes on top.  I just found the recipe here.  That probably isn't going to happen until I get back to Jackson.

Until then I'll keep myself happy with my mother's Mexican Chicken Soup (I'll post the recipe tomorrow.  No time tonight - the game is about to start!).

By the way: it's snowing here and has been all day!

That looks so delicious! You know, I hated that scene where they were eating the bruschetta. . . they eating like piggies. Gwoss me out. Other than that, loved the movie. Did you end up making these yet?

How are your eyes! Need an update!
