20 Something in LA LA land...

3 days

I could NOT be happier that I have today off - I needed it so badly. Friday night was nice and relaxing, but I slept badly that night... why do you think??? Click-click-clickety heels next door. I woke up Saturday morning and went straight to my notepad - where I wrote a very polite letter asking her to PLEASE take off her heels when walking around her apt - ESPECIALLY in the middle of the night. I swear, I have NO idea what in the hell she's doing at 3 am walking back and forth, back and forth... I mean, when I get home after a long night I go to two places: the refridgerator or the bed!

Early Saturday evening, C and I headed towards the beach for out oyster and seafood dinner. We got there at the perfect time to sit at the bar and watch the sun setting over the Pacific. I ordered a 1/2 dozen oysters and three sampling wines with it. C also ordered an appetizer and shared my oysters! Pardon my excitement, but cut to a couple of years ago and I couldn't even get him to eat a piece of FRIED fish... now he's all about sushi and oysters? What a California boy ;)

After dinner, we stopped at the store to pick up Guitar Hero for our Wii... cut to two hours later with wine, wii and the guitar - it was SUCH a fun night. I got pretty buzzed so I went to bed a bit before midnight and I woke up at 4:30 am to drink some water. And that's where the fun started - I couldn't get back to bed until 7:15 am. Does that ever happen to you? It was so frustrating. I couldn't get comfy, and then I just wasn't tired. By the time I feel asleep, my alarm went off shortly thereafter. Needless to say, I was a walking zombie yesterday.

We had to get up to see the new condo we're moving into! You heard it, we're moving! Most likely April 1st, although we'll have to see in the next week or two how the condo progresses. It's being fully built right now, and it's going to be GORGEOUS. 2 bedrooms (luxury for us), 2 stories, beautiful kitchen with all new appliances, fireplaces, 3 bathrooms, a huge patio opening into a front yard. We are extremely excited, and it's rent to own situation. So we will pay rent and in approx. a year, if we decide we want to buy it, that rent will have gone towards a down payment - which is perfect for us considering I don't think we're exactly ready to buy a home just yet. It's in a new area that both of us don't know all that well, but it's near everything. YAY!

Last night, thankfully, I slept a whole 9 hours (I needed it!) and just gonna run some errands today... Hope you all had nice three-day weekends!!!

Romantical

So, funny enough, Valentine's Day last night was more just like any other night that we hang out and cook dinner.  Sure, I came home to find bags and boxes of chocolates and candy, and a beautiful card.  Also, the two glasses of wine that were already poured and the cheese plate he prepared didn't hurt.  We exchanged some little things we got for eachother, drank wine, talked, cooked dinner, and watched Lost.  Actually, it was kinda perfect.

We are really celebrating this Saturday night, when he is taking me out to a super fancy seafood restaurant on the ocean, where we will be able to eat oysters (OK, just me) and lobster (both of us) while guzzling champagne.  Cannot wait.

Work has gone full speed ahead with the strike ending - at least for me.  C is still out of work because the show he was working on hasn't officially been picked back up.  It's a bit of a bummer for him, although he has rarely had any time off since he moved to LA 6 years ago, and when he does, he never worries or stresses about it (like I do), and always manages to find a job pretty quickly.  Cross your fingers for him. 

This weekend should be fun - tonight, dinner and drinks with friends, tomorrow night is our fancy dinner, and Sunday is open houses.  Loves it.  I hope all of you had a fantastic V-day and have an even more fantastic weekend!

LA

I woke up yesterday morning to a text from my best friend who lives an hour south in the OC. At 8:15 am: "YAY!!! The Strike is OVER!!!".  I Immediately run to my computer and quickly check out the various websites that constantly give me updates on industry-related news.  Hmmm, I see that the writers are moving into formal talks... ok.  I also see that film A was greenlit, and that Ashley Tisdale (who I just saw yesterday) is attached to Film B... but nothing about the strike being over.  Maybe I was just reading wrong?

I quickly text back my friend - "Where did you read that?", thinking well, maybe my friend in fashion has better sources than me?

"I didn't.  I heard it on the radio... I think Ryan Seacrest?"

Reason #45,627 you shouldn't believe what you hear - especially from Ryan at 8 am.  What a way to wake up!

Last night, over pasta and wine with a girlfriend who also works in my industry, something pretty interesting happened.  My friend just got a new job working for a huge studio, in the same field as me.  Therefore, after we get past the gossip of our lives - you know, relationship, gym, asshole who gave me a parking ticket that day, we move onto what else?  Work. 

The restaurant was pretty small.  Cozy and loud, but small.  Most tables were practically on top of us.  We didn't think twice though, to talk about our jobs in detail, including industry names.  All of a sudden, she leans in and kinda whispers to me "do you realize almost everyone around is eavesdropping?"  I hadn't, but as we continued to talk, I did in fact notice.  You know you are in LA when you are talking about your job (or the jobs that we have) and every table (prob. 75% actors) is trying to get the latest info and find out just who you are.  Surreal.  I hated it.  Now can you just imagine being Britney?

The rambling weekend recap

The weekend was - how else can I say it - perfect.  Not only was it filled with food, friends, and fun, but C and I are in a very good place.  I mean, other than when I gave him crap for coming home after playing basketball and throwing his shit all over the living room.  But that's pretty typical.  And showering?  You'd think it would be natural to want to shower after playing three hours of sweaty nasty basketball but apparently when football playoffs are on, showering goes down your list of priorities.  But that's a whole other story.

Friday night, we started our evening at out favorite Irish gastropub/bar down the street.  It's such a warm environment, where we can sit at the bar, enjoy some yummy beer and wine and just decompress the crazy week that just ended.  Oh, and they have the best fries known to man (or at least known to me) so that never hurts.  Afterwards, we went out to dinner to an Ethiopian restaurant here in LA.  Shocked?  yeah, I know, I was a little hesitant.  However, C and I have embarked on this new exciting mission of trying different, interesting, off the beaten path type restaurants - and what better place to do it than here in LA?  A couple of weeks ago was Peruvian and now Ethiopian.  And can I just stop and say that when C and I first met?  He would shy away from anything that wasn't meat and potatoes - and now?  He LOVES fish (even the raw kind), and different ethnic cuisines.  So, I could say I did a good job.  Anyway, Ethiopian food is SO good, everything comes on this thin bread/crepe, and there are NO utensils, so you eat by ripping a piece of the bread (injera) and scooping your meats and vegetables.  PROS?  YUMMY food, cheap bill, very interesting date.  CONS?  Smelly hands for hours and the possibility of eating too much and not being able to stop because it was SO damn good and then subsequently not being able to sleep because of VERY FULL TUMMY with indigestion.  Thank you C for running out and getting me Alka Seltzer at midnight. 

Saturday was errands and dinner and games with a very close couple of ours.  Remind me to elaborate on that another time because also?  Quite the experience having dinner with a newlywed couple who are SO intent on showing that they have the HAPPIEST LIFE EVER.  With matching outfits too!

Yesterday was breakfast, followed by an open house nearby and hi?  I want to afford my own house TODAY.  Also, we went furniture shopping and bought a new dresser which should be arriving at some point this afternoon.  And last night?  Fish tacos and Amazing Race. 

I'd say it was one of the better weekends in a long while.

Very cultured

Yesterday, while I was at work I started to search the internet on cool things to do in LA.  I do this a lot actually, search restaurant and food blogs, music scene blogs, websites that list local events.  I always like to pretend I am extremely cultured which sometimes isn't the case, but either way I know C and I like to consider ourselves open-minded.

I found this website about wine tasting, which I obviously love - hello! - and suggested to C that we drive across town to try it out.  C, always being down for my last minute suggestions, obliged and we headed to the wine store.  You could choose either red or white (I am a red-wine girl ALL THE WAY) and you get generous pours of three different wines for 12 dollars.  There is bread and butter also available to nosh on.  We got some wine, were able to walk around and peruse the store, caught up on our days and people watched.  It was such a good idea and I was really happy that we made the trek.

Tonight after work, C and I are gonna catch a movie and then go to a taco shop that we have seen a couple of local articles on.  It's totally off the beaten path, not fancy in the least, and extremely cheap.  But what a fun way to spend a Friday night?  I love LA.

I'm baaaaaaaack

Oh how I missed you so!  It's been about two weeks - which is ridiculously long to not keep in touch.  Sure, I love to bore you with the mundane details of my life approximately 4-5 times a week and I'm sure it was hard for you not to have that, but what was really hard for me was not having the time to sit and read your blogs!  I have definite withdrawal symptoms.  So I will quickly tell you about my trip and then I will try to get to all of your blogs through the weekend by the end of this year! HA!

Number one?  We had a fucking fantastic time.  This is quite surprising to both C and me because a) we were in 10-40 degrees weather the whole time and being an LA girl, that usually tends to suck, b) we were with his family for 10 DAYS STRAIGHT and as much as I like them, that worried both of us and c) there was SO MUCH EATING and hardly any moving around and normally?  I hate that.  But guess what?  This time? It was nice feeling like a lazy fat pig!

I won't bore you with too many details but I'll give you the highlights.

Last Monday, we flew into Denver and C and I immediately rented a car to drive two hours up into the Rocky Mountains to Beaver Creek (It's right next to Vail).  Let me just tell you, that as a kid I always wanted to spend some time in one of these cute little ski villages, where there are ice skating rinks and chocolate stores and Starbucks and good restaurants, and you could walk around and ski and then relax by the fire and then walk some more.  It was so perfect and beautiful and out of a movie.  We stayed in a condo there with his family for two nights, playing Trivial Pursuit and eating yummy food and watching good movies and laughing.  C also decided (on his own) that he wanted to take me out alone for dinner the second night, so he found this beautiful restaurant and we went on a date.  Very sweet if you ask me, considering he sees me all the goddamn time and his family very rarely.  I guess he just knew that he wouldn't be alone with me for the next 8 days and wanted to give me a "treat".

On Thursday of last week, C and I had a flight from Denver to Chicago, and what do ya know? They downsized the plane and we were left without a seat, along with 30 or more people.  I immediately went into panic mode, as I quite clearly remember Last December 29th, when C and I had to be put on standby for 8 hours, and only got out of Chicago the next morning at 6.  That, my friends, was HELL.  SO, I nicely spoke to some sweet man wearing a Santa tie, who totally hooked C and I up.  We got to fly first class to Sioux Falls (please, stop the chuckling.  I know, I know, a 1 hour flight, but it was something.  And Sioux Falls's airport?  One long hallway with a stuffed dog.)  and a couple hour layover and then off to Chicago.  SO we made it there only four hours past when we should have BUT we did manage to score two free roundtrip tickets to anywhere in the US except Alaska and Hawaii so I would say we made out well.

Oh, did I tell you that I also was feeling sick again?  I couldn't believe it, as I had just gotten over the WORST cold of my life a bit over a month ago, and then all of a sudden, I was sick again.  And flying.  This was not a good combination.

We woke up the next morning in Illinois to snow on the ground and a pretty sunny sky.  And so started our week of EATING.  Full-on breakfast every morning, and lunch 3 hours later, and of course a heavy hearty dinner.  Did I mind?  Not one bit.  I loved it.  C and I cooked for his whole family on the 23rd (that was 27 people - It felt like Dinner Impossible) and the other days I helped his mom out happily. When I say happily I truly mean it too, because if you would have tried to keep me inside for four straight days at C's parents' house last year or the year before I would have said NO WAY.  But this time, for whatever reason, I felt so comfortable and happy, and genuinely enjoyed their company - especially his mom (In fact, we had a long heart to heart about the "marriage" issue and she was so great about it).  I looked forward to talking to her, and getting her advice, and telling her stories.  It was so nice.  On the 2nd or 3rd day we were there, C looked at me and said this was the best Christmas home he's had in years because he could trust that I was having a good time and he didn't have to constantly check on me like he used to in the past.  This time, he could freely go down to the basement with his brother and dad and play darts or pool, and he knew I would be fine upstairs with the ladies and the kids.

And ohmigod the kids!  C's brother has two kids, a 4 year old boy and a little 8 month old girl.  The boy has always had this thing for me - when C and I see him for the first time in a long time, he tends to run right past him and jump into my arms.  I love that of course, but now that he is getting to a certain stage and has a new baby sister who gets TONS of attention, he had moments of devil-like behavior.  Which was not fun.  But the 8-month old!  So cute - what a sweet age!  And she was obsessed with her Uncle C and wow - to see him with a little baby girl got me teary-eyed at moments.

Other highlights?  We went to visit C's grandparents who are both in a nursing home, the grandfather for physical reasons and the grandma for dementia.  Even though it was sad to see them like that, they were both so sweet and fun and loving, and I just loved seeing the family interact and taking pictures of it.

Also, we spent the first Friday night with a few of C's friends and their wives for dinner at this great Italian restaurant.  It's always good to get together with them, because amazingly enough, I get along with all of the wives really well.  The not so fun part?  Being grilled about marriage after a couple of glasses of wine.  Haven't we had enough???  This last Wednesday, we went to one of the couples' condo, which we hadn't seen yet and they cooked dinner for us.  It was so great.  SUCH a cute house and great food and great music and obviously great wine (anyone else feel they have drank too much lately?) and good conversation and I just loved it.  So much fun. 

And finally Christmas morning.  With mimosas and Christmas music and thousands of presents under the tree, it just it so much fun for me.  And C and I made out pretty nice!  Although I didn't get EXACTLY what I wanted (this is kinda a joke because if C ever proposed to me Christmas morning in front of all of his family, I would be mortified), he did get me the perfume I wanted so badly, an adorable shirt, and a pair of beautiful earrings and a ring.  Not that kind but it was still beautiful.  His parents and family all got us great stuff too (including a new DVD player, gift cards to Marriot Hotels, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Forever 21, Borders, etc. - they know me well!).

And so came Thursday morning, to quickly pack up and go home, but guess what?  DG got a ridiculous sinus infection!  So no matter how much medicine I took, and how much I tried to forget about it, that day of flying was honestly the most excrutiating thing I had ever gone through.  I mean, ridiculous.  My head was gonna EXPLODE!!!!!  At least I didn't focus on the fact that we were flying and whoops! I'm scared of flying but I actually wasn't at all and I think it cured my fear!

Lastly, C and I are doing really well.  There was hardly one argument the whole time, minus the marriage one after we got majorly grilled.  But other than that, we got along really well and I feel like we bonded even more if that's possible?  As far as the marriage and future talk?  We'll just have to see.  I will say I did get a little more insight as to why he's feeling the way he is, and a lot of it has nothing to do with me but with his job and the current state of his career-life.  So, we'll see.  If I'm happy now must I change it? 

Keeping busy

C is someone that tries to make the most of his time.  I mean, not always, as many days he is found sitting on the couch watching football, playing online poker, or playing his Xbox until ungodly hours of the morning (maybe he thinks it's more productive than sleeping?).  But if he has extra time in his schedule, he usually tries to fill it with something meaningful.

Like in April, when he had exactly 4 weeks off work for a hiatus, and he planned a three week trip to visit his college friends.  Meanwhile, the week he came back I was off for approximately 20 gazillion years and I spent my days going to the gym and reading blogs. For what seemed like years.

When the strike started, we knew that at some point we would both be off work.  Since that also meant that the money wouldn't be a'flowin, we couldn't take any trips other than the trip to visit his family next week.

So C came up with a plan for each of us to think of approx. 5 things each that we have never done or seen here in LA and want to.  Genius, right?  I know, he's good.

I love that kind of shit.  I spend my free time online, reading websites about my city's new museums and galleries and shops and restaurants and markets and festivals and events.  I'm always wanting to check stuff out, but don't want to do it alone and usually our weekends are so filled with other stuff that we never get around to it.

C is now officially off work.  Friday was his last day.  It sucks, but for him, right now, it's for the better because he was saying it was more depressing being in an office that was hit so hard due to the circumstances. 

Yesterday, after C got home from playing basketball and we ate some lunch, we decided that we would do one thing on my list.  He was curious what I chose and I was embarrassed to tell him what the Number 1 thing in LA I wanted to do was.  Because of all the things in this amazing city, all I cared about was seeing the new Whole Foods in Pasadena that I have seen pictures of, read about and have been obsessed over.

Wouldn't you know my number 1 was related to food?

Why C is great?  He figured that would be it.  I mean, obviously, he said.  SO after seeing what could easily be the best movie of the year, Juno, C and I made the trek to Pasadena (about 20 minutes away).  After hitting up the WRONG Whole Foods (yes, we drove 10 miles longer than needed), we pulled into the  parking lot, walked in the store and were amazed.

Two floors, each section was 3 times larger than normal Whole Foods.  There was a seafood section, with a seafood restaurant and seafood bar attached.  There was a rotisserie and carving station, with tables and seats, where you could easily bring your family for Sunday night dinner.  The cheese section OH MY GOD the cheese section was ORGASMIC.  So big, with samples galore.  And next to that?  The wine and tapas bar, where you could actually sit down and have wine tastings with cheese pairings.  There were couples and friends sitting at the bar and the couches just enjoying their evening at Whole Foods as if it were your neighborhood pub.  And DO NOT get me started on the dessert section, and honestly, can you say no when you are offered samples of donuts and pumpkin pie???

All in all, it was worth the drive and I will definitely go back.  And C?  I know he loved it too.

And today C is already gone, went to Big Bear to help a friend build a cabin until tomorrow night.  See?  Only a couple days off and he's already traveling :)  Can't he learn to just be lazy like me?

Food glorious food!

Today is day 2 of being on a budget.

I know this will sound strange, but in my 26 years on this planet, I have never before really been on a budget.  Sure, there were tight days and weeks where I would curb my shopping for clothes and getting manicures and beauty products, but never before where I've felt like I needed to change my lifestyle temporarily.

Now is that time.

The number one without a doubt way that I spend my money is on FOOD.  Yeah, I know - horrible.  But it is.  I am not a cook by nature, however, I love to cook and LOVE to look up recipes and LOVE to eat something good that I created, but for whatever reason, may it be long days at work or lack of energy, I don't cook as often as I like.  The days that C and I decide to actually cook instead of going out for dinner?  We end up spending WAY more at the grocery store than we would have at a restaurant.

I also have a shopping problem with food at various grocery stores.  I literally cannot walk into a grocery store without buying snacks, whether it be chips or cookies or chocolate or all three, some expensive cheese products, gourmet foods, sushi, etc.  The majority of it ends up filling up my kitchen and cupboards.  At first I don't mind the expensive bills because I feel like it's food, and we'll eat it.  But the truth is, most of the time we don't, and it ends up just sitting there and going bad.  Yesterday, in an effort to "clean" out our kitchen, we three away THREE trash bags of stuff.  Open bags of chips, cookies, candy, veggies, turkey, cheeses, condiments, cereals, etc.  It was RIDICULOUS.  I usually only want one bite of anything I buy so after that, it goes to waste.  Do you guys watch Oprah?  Did you SEE the episodes about the woman who is a hoarder and buys everything she sees and has NOWHERE to put it in her house???  I need to watch it because seriously?  I could be a closet food hoarder.  Although, I have to say that it's better that it's sit in the cupboard uneaten rather than in my tummy.

C and I also have schedules where we eat out more than average.  Mondays and Tuesdays, he is at work late and eats there, so I'll usually just pick something up for myself = $15 each meal at least (Oh yeah, I should add that I hardly ever get fast food, so there isn't an option for me to get a 99 cent gordito or whatever's on the market).  At least 1 and sometimes 2 nights a week,  I am out with a friend or a family member for dinner so there's more money spent and more reason not to go food shopping.  Friday and Saturday nights C and I usually eat out, and Sunday night we tend to order in.  You see where the problem is?

I have a few friends that set schedules for their dinners.  They sit down on Sunday, figure out what they're going to eat every night that week, go shopping for all of those ingredients, and cook accordingly.  At first, C and I quietly snickered because how "planned" and "boring" and absolutely no spontaneity...  But yesterday?  We became one of those couples.

It actually was a lot of fun going to the grocery store together, walking up and down the aisles slowly looking for the items on sale, checking prices and crossing off a list.  (Except going to the grocery store the week of Thanksgiving is a BIG no-no.  Do not do it unless you HAVE to.  These people are RUTHLESS!!!)  We came home last night, cooked my famous turkey chili, and enjoyed a nice healthy dinner. 

Today, I went to Costco and various other stores to get some more ingredients.  I ended up buying bulk chicken and salmon, which I separated and individually froze, large amounts of veggies and fruit which I already cut up and put into tupperware, and some extra things we need. 

So we are stocked.  Thanksgiving will be at my mom's, but other than that, every single meal for the next week will be cooked here in the house by me!  I guess there is a perk to being unemployed after all!  Tonight we are making this really great BBQ chicken recipe with corn and onions and peppers.  Tomorrow is homemade pizza on wheat dough with tons of veggies.  And Friday (if not T-giving leftovers) is salmon with veggies and brown rice.

If you guys have any easy healthy dinner ideas pass them my way!

Chatterboxes

The weekend was so great, once again.  It started off with a rainy Friday night, where C and I went to this new tapas restaurant just up the street.  He basically had to force me to leave the house though, as my body is still adjusting to the crazy schedule I'm now on, and I literally couldn't stop yawing at 7:30 pm on a Friday night.  And the people that know me know that's not me at all.

Anyway, the restaurant was just eh but what C and I had fun doing was observing the two tables we sat between.  On our left was a couple who were hardly talking, but were fairly young.  They also seemed really happy which was strange since they just sat there quietly.  On our right was a couple that were chatting away, like, NONSTOP.  And having so much fun.  So our immediate assumption was that the quiet couple have been together forever and the loud couple were on a first date.

Well, I am a private detective in my spare time (ha) so after some listening and searching for rings I found just the opposite.  Chatty couple was married and quiet couple were engaged!  Veeeeery interesting I thought.  It used to really bother me when C and I would go out to eat and lack in the conversation.  But it rarely happens anymore and if it does, it's usually over a Sunday breakfast when sometimes, it's nice to just enjoy your coffee and people watch.  What about you guys that are in relationships?  Chatty or not so chatty?

Our softball game got rained out so instead, we saw a movie and did laundry and then on Saturday night we went to get sushi and drank way too much sake, which happened to be so much fun.  C and I laughed and talked for hours.  Honestly, one of the best nights I've had in a while.

Yesterday, we watched the Bears (sad) and went to Target (fun) and completely cleaned out our closets (horrible to do but in hindsight, yay!).  Then I cooked a really yummy halibut dinner and we watched The Davinci Code and went to sleep.  Sometimes the mundane things are really the best.

And now, its Monday morning, the start of a LOOOOOOONG week.  Happy Monday?

In a routine

I've been waking up every morning at 7:30 am so that I can get to the gym for about an hour before work.  Last night as I was going to bed, I decided I needed some more sleep so I set my alarm at 8:15 and would "take the day off" from working out today. 

So what happens?  7:29 am on the dot I open my eyes.  And then start to think of all the things I need to do today at work and then next thing I know, I'm awake!

I guess I'll just enjoy this morning and watch GMA and maybe lift some weights in front of the TV.

Do you guys watch Biggest Loser?  C and I do and even though it's the most OVERPRODUCED show on TV (really? you need 45 minutes for the goddamn weigh-in EVERY WEEK???), we LOVE watching the end part, where they show you how much weight the last person who got kicked off has lost so far.  Because the people who get kicked off also compete for a smaller prize at the finale.  Every time we watch it we both are almost shocked because it's so amazing that these people who have been in a routine of eating whatever they want, whenever they want, and NEVER working out, have completely turned their lives around.  I just think it's awesome.

SPEAKING of eating, here is the recipe for the FANTABULOUS TURKEY CHILI that everyone who has tried it has fallen in love with.  And its perfect for a cold October night!

1.25 lb package of lean or extra lean ground turkey
1 small yellow onion
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1.5 cups chopped celery
1 can of corn
1 can of red kidney beans (drained)
1 (14 oz) can of diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 (8 oz) can of tomato paste
1 cup of water

In a large pot, heat some olive oil and brown turkey and onions for about 5- 6 minutes until turkey is no longer pink.  Season with salt.

Take turkey and onions out without removing the juices in the pot. Keep aside in a separate plate.

Chop up celery and bell peppers and begin to cook them in the pot over high heat to soften them.  About another 5 minutes.

Throw in corn and kidney beans and mix together.

Add can of diced tomatoes without draining.  Keep stirring so juices immerse the whole pot. 

Add can of tomato sauce.   Also approx 1 cup of water so  chili doesn't get too thick. 

When chili becomes fairly warm, lower heat and put turkey and onions back into the pot.

Season however you like (I used salt - you'll definitely need some of that, pepper, cayenne pepper - I like things spicy, a little tobasco, chili powder).  If you like it a bit sweet you can add brown sugar.

Keep stirring every few minutes but let it simmer UNCOVERED for about twenty more minutes.

Serve with TONS of yummy warm bread, sour cream, cheese, and whatever else you like.

IT IS SO YUMMY!!!  If you try it, let me know how you liked it! :)

(PS That was the first recipe I have ever created and then written on my own so I hope you guys don't think it was too lame and amateur)
