As you all know, I like movies. I will be doing a "movie club" that is going to be done once a week. I will pick a movie on Netflix instant watch each week. Then we can all talk about it later. It will just be for fun mostly through the blog and twitter. It will begin in August.
Finally saw Harry Potter and it was great. I loved the ending too. Many times the endings are cliff hangers and that drives me nutz. Im not going to give away anything for those of you that still have not seen it. If you have not seen Transformers, I don't know what is wrong with you. Transformers is hands down the best 3D movie I have ever seen. If you are looking for a good summer blockbuster then I totally say go.

Cooking Show
Thursday will be the cooking show July 28. This is what I will be making. I have never tried this on so lets keep our fingers crossed it will be good.
This is from Rachael Ray 30 minute melas 2
Village Salad with Grilled Pita Bread
3 vine ripe tomatoes, cut into chunks
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 english cucumber, seeded and chunked
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chunked
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chunked
1 cup Kalamata olives
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/2 pound feta cheese sliced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
pita bread
Combine veggies, olives, and parsley in a large bowl. Rest sliced feta on top of salad. Combine oil, vinegar and oregano in a plastic container with a lid and shake. Pour over salad. Season with salt and pepper and let marinate until ready to serve. Serve with blistered pita bread.
Greek Meatballs in Wine Sauce
3/4 pound ground lamb
3/4 pound ground beef or veal
1 small onion, minced or hand grated
a hand full of chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup white wine
1/2 lemon
In a large bowl, combine meats, onion, parsley, salt and peper. Melt butter into oil in the pan and begin rolling the meat mixture into small, bite size balls, adding to the pan as you roll them. Saute, 10 to12 minutes, shaking the pan to brown equally on all sides. Deglaze pan with wine and allow it to reduce by half, 1 or 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, squeeze the lemon juice over the meatballs in the skillet and serve.
Baked Gigantes Beans
2 cans (15 oz each) butter beans, drained
1 cup tomato sauce
a handful chopped parsely
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450 F
In a small oven safe casserole combine beans with tomato sauce, parsley, and oregano. Drizzle with a touch of oil and season with salt and pepper. Combine with a final toss. Bake in oven 12 minutes or until sauce is bubbling and beans are heated through.
Grilled Shrimp
16 uncooked jumbo shrimp (deviened)
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
2 lemons, halved
Preheat pan over high heat
Butterfly shrimp by slicing almost through lengthwise, but leaving shell on-this will keep shrimp tender when cooking over high heat. Place lemons cut side down on grill pan at eth last minute. The heat will release the juice from the lemons. To serve, squeeze lemon on shrimp.

Camiversay Half Way Point
We have days left till my Camiversary month is over. :( I have a some fun stuff still planned so, you need to be following me on twitter for updates. @spoilhaydenhart If you dont have a ticket in the bucket for the camiversary you still have time to get it. Make sure you get in there so you have a chance to win. The Wall of Fame is still growing. It will be staying up till the end of August so if you waiting till the last minute to get up there your banner will have an entire month on the wall. I still have a few videos to edit and add to the list. Sometimes they can be a pain.
On to other stuff.....I will not be taking a vacation this summer like I thought I would. I just have no time right now. The garden is looking lovely still. The flooding has stopped for now but, Im hoping they fix it permanetly soon. They tell me my place has the worst problems with the flooding. Thsi month is half gone but it still feels like it just started. The second half of the year is the best part anywho cuz my birthday is in October. (Just a reminder *wink*) Not really sure what I will be doing for my birthday. I normally know way in advance. kisses to you all and lets finish July with a bang.

On Your Mark, Get Set, GO!!!
This month is starting off with a bit of a bang for us. Thankyou to all the tippers that got it started the right way. Ya'll made me feel like it was my birthday. I want to give a special THANKYOU to the white knight that helped pushed me up the ranks (You know who you are). I want everyone to know I am trying to break my record for the highest I have ever ended a month on MFC since it is a special month for me. On to other topics. I think I will finish season one of True Blood. I know I am so far behind. I just got caught up watching Dexter, Weeds, Bleach, Death Note, Archer, and movies to get around to watching the second disk of season one. Please don't give anything away! Four more days till I go see Transformers...WOOT! I hope everyone in the USA is having a safe holiday. Happy Birthday USA!
