I considered myself to be a decent cook and baker. However, candy making had been unchartered territory until I recently cracked the code of a favorite—chewy Texas Pecan Pralines. This culinary epiphany came only days before I left my home sweet home in Austin, Texas, to return to CU Boulder after an epic hiatus to wrap up my bachelor’s degree in journalism. When I was a little girl, I remember tasting heavenly, creamy homemade pralines, bursting with pecans, handcrafted with love by my mom. She only whipped them up a few times, but I just couldn’t get the memory of those buttery, sugary treats out of my head. They were that good. I asked her if she still had the recipe, but I knew it would be hopeless since my mom wasn’t one for keeping track of her down-home style cooking. I married my college sweetheart, a guy with the same first name as me, and began teaching myself to cook. Becoming “Kelly Times Two” was amazing, and I had ...
Yeah, he was slick. We enjoyed the MB concert last night, per Heidi's and Julie's twitterpated recommendations.
Michael Bublé has quite the image built up, he's a charmer, Mister Rico Suave himself. Prior to the concert, we met up with Chris and Conni and rode together downtown and enjoyed a lovely dinner at Thai Passion.
Here's gorgeous Conni trying to hold hands with Michael, but he turned away to look at me. (As if! I really dislike having my photo taken with Conni. She ALWAYS looks a gazillion times better.) I was actually standing on the other side of MB.
He kind of irked me with some of his foul language and commentary. Why can't he just sing, look fantastic and not feel like he needs to provide "bonus" material? I still liked his wit.
I video recorded some of "Feeling Good," but for the life of me, cannot figure out how to upload it in the current format. So I added a YouTube clip instead. Sorry I couldn't post a live from Austin clip.
Kelly and I had pretty good seats in section 23, row 22. I enjoyed the evening with my hubby. Thanks for spending time with me, Kelly! I love you!

P.S. Have you ever been to a Josh Groban concert?? - I HIGHLY recommend it! ;o)
Sounds like a fun concert, though. His voice is so divine.
Thank you for a great night, a great dinner and great company. We had a wonderful time with you and enjoyed the concert too! Ditto on leaving the 'garbage' out. His voice is still fantastic!!
Anyway, MB wasn't out of control with his inappropriateness, but enough that it did irk me, as I said. Is irk spelled right?
At least I'm giving a heads-up to anyone to know what to expect. Now let's go to the next MB concert! Leave the kids at home. (Who would take their kid to a romantic MB concert anyway?)
You look fab, hair is awesome!
what fun!!!
