Project2240 {Ragin' Cajun}

Arguably there is not a better way to bring in spring on the bayou than with some good ole' crawfish. Crawfish look pretty nasty, but there is something about this food that just brings people. The process of eating crawfish is an event in itself and usually bibs are encouraged/should be required, and people could probalby wear goggles too. It was a great way to spend Friday night with old and new friends as we celebrated the beginnings and ends of our spring breaks. I think one of my favorite parts of crawfish is leftover crawfish that can be peeled, taken home, and then made into gumbo or etouffe. It's always a great chance to work on my cajun cooking and spice up the kitchen a little bit.

Project2239 {Rodeo or Mexico}

I LOVE the rodeo! Growing up in San Antonio we used to go almost every year to see some of the great country performers. It's always been such a unique Texas experience. This year I got to go to the Houston Rodeo with my roommate and we had a blast! Martina McBride was an amazing performer and I would argue that she has a flawless voice. As I get older I realize that I love the rodeo for more than the concert and I really like the 'actual' rodeo as well as seeing all of the show animals. It's crazy to me how some people prepare all year long for a couple of weeks and then they start all over again for next year's rodeo. I wanted to share this sweet picture that I took while walking through the barns because I think This little boy was the perfect example of the rodeo excitement that is found in people young and old as he stands face to face with "Elsie, the Borden Milk Cow."

Project2238 {Oh To Be Silly}

My battle cry for the week--"Spring Break!" It's quite possibly the most exciting week in the whole school year and it came a little earlier this year, but I had a blast. I went to Dallas for a couple days and got to explore the city with my good friend Erin. We spent an entire afternoon downtown and while we were in the Nasher Sculpture Center it was like we were young children all over again. Every sculpture became the perfect prop or background for a great photoshoot. We spent a long time just hanging out and being silly in the beautiful spring weather and it was such a wonderful break from school and Houston.
