Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan - Warning may have Spoilers in article.

My first impressions of the show was that it was kind of awkward, I didn't know what to really think about the characters. I think that Wendell Pierce was over weight to be an agent and on top of that a field agent. He may of been more suited to just stay at the office.  John Krasinski  was kind of weird for me at first because I can only see him as the dude from the Office, but after a while he grew on to me.   Jack Ryan gives me the impression that he is an arrogant self righteous guy who only seems to do things that are right for only him. He represents a honest person that only wants to do things the right way and not bend the rules, but in the end if its for the good and the rules are bent slightly to save lives, he will go with it. You have him one time go over his boss to put a hold on an account with out his superiors consent and then on the other hand he doesn't want to deal with criminals or be involved with killing someone just to find his enemies family bef...

Char Sui to Pork & Seeds

Char Sui I remember making this once but I don't remember trying someone else recipe but this time around I did use someone else's recipe and it came out great! I think the key to this was actually cooking it. I went to my local asian store to find the ingredients but I am sure if you don't want to leave your house you can get them here on Amazon through my links.  Ingredients to get: You can get these by clicking on them and purchasing on Amazon.  1 Pork Tenderloins 1/2 cup dark soy sauce 1/3 cup honey 1/3 cup of ketchup 1/3 cup of brown sugar 1/4 cup of Chinese rice wine 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce   1 teaspoon of Chinese five spice powder 2 tablespoons of red food coloring (Optional, I didn't use this as it did not add any flavor just visual) After getting these ingredients, I cut the tenderloins into 4 strips and you can even cut them just to two strips to make it bigger for when you slice it for pork and seeds or cut ...

Some Cancellations

Looks like my Portland trip will not be happening this month, unfortunately I have a family issue that will need to be taken care of first since family is important. I will have to figure out another time to go out there and see my friends while enjoying the city. I will try to put together my article on my city and state here in the next couple of weeks. I have just been really busy with things here at home so I will try to send it out shortly.

Upcoming cities

I have been traveling to all these amazing cities and there is one that I didn't even think about. Boise has been attracting so many people, I will do one of Boise and give some of the best spots in my opinion of places to eat, things to do and just a tour of the city. After all why would anyone not do their hometown. So be on the lookout for my next post as it could be Boise or Portland. Portland is coming up and I am excited for it so hopefully you all will like the blogs I write for them. I have been a little  restless these last couple of months as things have kind of been coming to a crash with a friend passing away and getting to these cities. I will try to be more consistent as I know I haven't. This is my first crack at it and I hope you all enjoy reading about my adventures and I am truly blessed to be able to do these kinds of things.

Utah Life

Utah, home of the honeybees and Mormons. No offense, every time I come here, I feel just like I am in Boise. I do love going to Salt Lake city to see family and the places you can go. People say Salt Lake has nothing to do but I will say there is plenty. I never get to do everything I want there. There is a good population of people from all ethnicities and that brings in all kinds of food. We stayed in West Valley where there is a good amount of Asian food and Mexican food in that area off of Redwood. Kim Thanh market has pretty good Banh Mi sandwiches that we used to take with us to Lagoon in Farmington. Lagoon is a pretty good place to go for a whole day to do rides and hang out in the water park. You also get a chance to look at some history of the pioneer days with old homes, what a small town might of looked like. Lots of culture to take in the park. I noticed there were a lot of company parties there and that would of been awesome if I was someone living there and we had co...
