Trying to convince her

My wife hated tap water for drinking. She’s telling me that the tap water here in our place tastes rusty, I don’t get it. I don’t understand why she’s saying that it taste like rust when she never taste rust literally. I tried to convince her that we need to stop buying bottled water so we can save some money but she refuses to do so. I don’t mind at all drinking tap water. As a matter of fact, I drink tap water when I’m at work. I wonder if I purchase tap water filter at Puriteam and install it to our faucet, will my wife drink the water from it or not. I really don’t know. I don’t want to waste my money from buying either of the following; countertop water filter, house water filter, drinking water filter or tap water filter and later I find out that my wife preferred to drink bottled water still.

California dream vacation

My wife and the kids just got back from a week vacation in San Francisco and Los Angeles. We had a lot of fun driving up north. We took the 101 freeway all the way up to San Francisco passing thru many cities along the way including Santa Cruz. The houses up north are so beautiful and worth every penny. My wife and I have been dreaming of owning our own home but we don't have any knowledge about real estate or buying a home. Even if we did know something about real estate, finding the best value for your money is difficult. There are many newspapers with listings of real estate but that can be time consuming reading thru each and every one and it's alot of effort. You really need to know your stuff when and read between the lines and identify which listings are not worth your attention.

For those of you who don't know, Santa Cruz is located is located on Monterrey bay and it is a prime location for a vacation. There are many things to do in Santa Cruz but as we were passing by, we had to stop and check out some of the homes for sale. We didn't find anything in our price range but we got some prospects that we will keep in mind. We'll talk to some professional real estate agency We had to stop and check out the biggest marine aquarium in California on monterey bay. We really enjoyed all the sights and scenic views of northern California. It's the best place to live.

Our favorite local place to eat out!

Guest post of the week by Robby Sykes

I'm no gourmet cook by any means of the word so it shouldn't surprise you that we eat out often. When we get tired of all of those fantastic restaurant chains and choose to eat at a local eatery, there's only one place we go. Uncle Sam's Gourmet Subs!

I set my home alarm devices leaving the house to go to dinner. It has just become a habit for my family. We always make sure to grab the menu before we leave out, though.

Uncle Sam's is the best sub shop in the area if you ask me. And their subs are gourmet. They have almost any type of sub sandwich you can think of. They even serve vegetarian subs. I always get their Ultra Mushroom Cheesesteak. My daughter says they have the best Ham and Cheese subs. I happen to agree with her! They also serve soft drinks and fries. Here's a tip: If you eat inside, the fries are free!

The atmosphere is typical of a college town. They have some cool rock music in the background. The waitress and cooks are all college students. The eat in part of the store is small but always packed. They are always busy! In spite of all of the craziness in the place, everyone is very friendly.

If you are in the Pittsburgh area anytime soon, I highly recommend trying out Uncle Sam's. We crave it now because they are so good!

Contemporary Furniture

We finally were able to do a home makeover & home improvement to our living room and dining room's. We had already picked out our furniture month's in advance and where just waiting to receive our tax return so that we could go pick it up. My wife and I had a hard time deciding which styles of furniture to buy but we finally agreed on Contemporary Furniture to give our home a modern look.

We really received a good deal on our Contemporary Furniture because it looks like it cost so much more than we paid for. We invited some friends over to our house for dinner and they really loved our new furniture. My wife and I searched many places around town but couldn't find anything we liked until we found what we were looking for at this website online.

Some of the most beautiful Contemporary Furniture that you can find is made from top Italian and European designers like Gamma International, polaris, Incanto, Artifort, Bontempi Casa, Moroso and other manufacturers and they make modern bedroom, Dining Room, Living room, Office & Kids room's.

Filipino Adobo

You know i just love to cook. Today i tried to cook some Filipino adobo but even following the recipe to the 'T' it still came out pretty bad. The recipe called for 1/4 cup of vinegar, 2 cups of water, 2 tbls of soy sauce and 5 basil leaves. It didn't taste good at all because there was just too much vinegar. I got the recipe online but the vinegar was just too much. I had another recipe for chicken adobo that I've been using for awhile now and my wife loves it. I thought i would try a different kind but i failed miserably. Oh well. I think I'll stay with my original recipe and play it safe..
