    How To Make Pickles!!!

    wattsup / May 5, 2024 / No Comments

    With these simple instructions, you will be making your own rendition in no time! Pickles are my favorite, & I finally got the courage to start making them myself!! I wish I started sooner!  Since I’ve been making pickles all summer long, I’ve had many people request what the recipe is. So let’s get into it. I make refrigerated pickles…

    Virginia Creeper Trail

    wattsup / September 9, 2022 / No Comments

    Imagine whipping through the peacefulness of dense woodlands on an old railway route that since turned into a peaceful bike trail. The Virginia Creeper trail is a very calming and inviting place to get outdoors for all ages! My mom and I discovered this little gem of a trail my first year here in Tennessee and now it’s our traditional…

    Nightmare On Laurel Ave

    wattsup / January 31, 2022 / No Comments

    Around 5:30am on January 8, 2020, I and about 95 other people had to live through a real life nightmare. Experiencing any kind of structure fire is something no one ever wants to face nor deal with. The aftermath is probably the hardest, because of the realization of what you had just experienced. You are supposed to receive help from…

    How I Moved Across The Country!

    wattsup / December 28, 2021 / No Comments

    Have you ever felt that you just belong somewhere without even have done it, seen it or lived it? I have had those feelings for most of my life growing up. Something about Tennessee and the south always touched me, like I belonged there. My parents have never taken me to Tennessee or the south but there was something about…

📣卄ㄩ乙乙卂卄 📣to some beer & all things Renaissance!! U 📣卄ㄩ乙乙卂卄 📣to some beer & all things Renaissance!! Unfortunately not at the Tennessee Ren Fest...No beer, no real bathrooms, & long lines. Now this is NOT my first experience at a Renaissance Festival & I hate to bash on something that I absolutely LOVE!! Literally a family tradition to go to a Renaissance Festival. 
I mean a Ren Fest should AT LEAST have beer 🍻. Who isn’t drinking beer out of a mug & enjoying some comedic acts! There was 2 out of 4 shows we enjoyed. There was no real difference in acts on some. They were mediocre. Also who doesnt need to go wash up after demolishing a Turkey Leg? 
Now what happened ? ⬇️
What I understand is that this year the Tennessee Renaissance Festival was taken over by Williamson county. We all know when things get put in new hands it usually doesnt go well. Alsp williamson county does not allow “alcohol at community events”  OHHHH THE BIBLE BELT 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ This was my first time going to the Tennessee one, now if it’s your first time going you will most definitely enjoy it bc it is still a Renaissance festival, & you will still see people dressed up & experience themed vendors etc. But if you have been to some great renaissances festival before, I would save your $25 per person.

Am I looking through a Kaleidoscope or my kitchen Am I looking through a Kaleidoscope or my kitchen window? 🌈🪟 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒: I used Static Film Window Cling (LⵊNK ⵊN BⵊO) ⤵️
1) clean windows & measure area 
2) you will need soapy Water (put on window & film after it’s on window. 
3) I taped the corner piece of film to the corner of window I was adhering it to. 
2) squeegee (I use a small one from when you put he glass on the front of your phone) get all those air bubbles out!!
3) box cutter to get those fine details 
4) Dry towel to help with the soapy water & your hands (using sharp objects no need for ER visit) 
5) Viola! You now have some privacy but sunshine is still coming through!

🥩🥃@topofbinions is located on the 24th floor of @b 🥩🥃@topofbinions is located on the 24th floor of @binions_lv on @fremontstreet . It’s a steakhouse that takes you back in time, Vegas 1960-70’s era! 
First make a reservation as it does fill quick. Also set it for a time that you can watch the sunset & the Golden lights turn into neon lights. 🌇
You are greeted immediately by the amazing staff! We had some amazing guys waiting on us & they all had wonderful stories & insight on Vegas!
They started out by bringing  2 loafs of bread, one cranberry & one white loaf, with a cinnamon butter & a whipped butter... That also came with 3 types of salt: 
Himalayan, Hawaiian Black Salt & pure Sea Salt. They told us use it sparingly, different types of salt bring different flavors to your meals. 🧂🥖
We then had some aperitifs with oysters Rockefeller! I had a Tennessee Mule and Jackson had an Old Fashioned! 🥃
In between our aperitifs & main meal, they came out with a lemon sorbet to help cleanse the pallet! 🍋🥄
For our main dishes @jacksonmoodyofficial ordered 24oz Cowboy Ribeye &  I ordered lamb chops with asparagus & a fully loaded potato.
Paired with our main courses, we had a nice bottle of 8 years in the Desert by @orinswift 
If you are in Vegas and have some time to have an amazing dinner experience, be sure to make a reservation at Top of Binions!🥩🎲
