Breakfast buffet

( 3:26 PM)

After a visit to My Three Sons in Stewartstown to learn how to make rice pudding, owner Evan Krause told me about their breakfast buffet. I was thinking it was kind of unique for an Italian/Greek fusion restaurant to have an all-you-can-eat bonanza from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday mornings, but they do.

I also bet a lot of people don't know about it.

Smith's still hot, but his new movie is not.will-smith-as-hancock.jpeg
I'm a sucker for cheesecake, kittens, guitarists and Will Smith. After his success with previous July 4 weekend releases like "Independence Day," "Men in Black" and "Men in Black II," I was amped for some more bigscreen Willie style. But as I walked out of the movie theater Wednesday night, I felt I like had been conned by my celebrity crush.

Pixar's 'WALL-E' doesn't disappoint

( 7:57 AM)

I'm a sucker for Pixar movies.
The animation amazes me and the characters - whether they're a car, a rat or a robot - are always so well developed that by the end of the movie, I'm always left wanting more.

"WALL-E" is no exception. I went in with high expectations and wasn't let down.

Mud sales, triathlons and basbeball

(12:12 PM)

While I could never live up to Erin's action-packed weekends full of dancing, dining and pink nail polish, my weekend was full of summer traditions that included Amish auctioneers.

After watching retro classic "Pretty in Pink" Thursday night, I decided to continue the theme at my pre-wedding manicure Friday. Hot pink is so hot right now.
Armed with neon nails and a dress recycled from a college formal, I was ready to close out Wedding Bonanza 2008.
