On Wisconsin!

What an awesome weekend to be a Wisconsin football fan!   First, the badgers win yesterday, taking us to the Rose Bowl for the second year!  Then today the Packers are victorious again, bringing the record to 12 - 0!  
I played a bit of dress up in my new jersey :)  Randall Cobb is of course the Packer's young rookie, but even better our names are practically the same!  So, it was too fitting that I had to get a jersey. 

Design
I finished fabricating my front flats!  They look so good!  I realized they imported into photoshop with different sizing, but luckily I was able to figure out how to resize them to be proportionate to one another again...What a pain that would have been to redo them all...

The backs are going to be scaled a bit smaller, so I don't have to add as much detail.  Happy to have one more section of the project complete :) 

Cooking
 I've been wanting to make Pad Thai recently... I tweak this recipe from All Recipes.  Unfortunately I couldn't find the radish, tamarind, or bean sprouts at Ralph's, so it's more of a Pad Thai inspired dish.  I made this a couple years ago while staying at my aunt Trixie's house, and I don't remember where we found the ingredients.  You'd think they'd be easier to find in an LA grocery than Beaver Dam ;)  If you look at the comments I used oyster sauce (or fish sauce) instead of soy sauce, rice vinegar instead of white vinegar, and I used just a dash of chile powder instead of paprika.  I also used chicken instead of tofu. I added an Asian vegetable mix and garnished with rainbow slaw (broccoli, cauliflower, radish, carrot) for a bit of fresh crunch since I was missing the bean sprouts.
