CAUSE A COMMOTION -CREAMY TOMATO SOUP


Also known as....Almost as good as 4B's Tomato Soup!

Just for the record...I'm one of those people that does NOT like tomato soup. Not a fan...or I wasn't until I made my way to the great state of Montana for college & met 4B's Tomato Soup! 4B's were a chain of restaurants up in the Big Sky State. They have the most creamy & delicious tomato soup I've ever tasted ever! Oh my goodness, it is dreamy.

Later I the gypsy trail would take to Havre, Montana for work and the amazing Ms Kaye Young of Norman's Ranchwear shared her Almost 4B's Tomato Soup Recipe with me. I make it every winter & love it! Today I'm going to pass the favor along & share the delicious Tomato Soup Recipe with you.

Popcorn and HOT Tamales!!!

Many years ago I had the opportunity to learn a lil' secret from the BEAUTIFUL Ms Veronica Feild. Madam V is a true 10, inside & out. It seemed only fitting to celebrate her birthday and share a lil' tidbit of her wisdom.

Drum Roll ......rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......POPCORN & HOT TAMALES!

Oh my goodness, it is delicious and the ONLY way to enjoy popcorn.
If you've tried it...you know exactly the deliciousness I speak of! If you haven't tried it.....You MUST! Kinda like a Popcorn Ball. Hot...Sweet...Salty....Pretty much a party in your mouth!

Simply throw a hot tamale in with a handful of popcorn & enjoy!
( I like to throw the tamales in right after you pop the popcorn
so that it makes the tamales a lil' warm & even more delicious)
Thank you for sharing your awesomeness with us Ms Veronica.
Wishing you a happy birthday month!

Thank you traveling the gypsy trail with me today. I truly appreciate you taking the time to visit. Happy Trails!
Love,
Mindy

Lil' Red Roan's Lovely Lady Leg Knives and More!


Lil' Red Roan ~ a few of my favorite things!

About 6 years ago, I was in a pickle. The knife that I had packed forever and I loved it. I had it with me all the time. Even if I was wearing a dress, it usually wasn't far away. Well, the Hailey 4th of July celebration rodeo was just kicking off and I was feeding hay to the back pens. Some how I lost my favorite knife! I was mad, sad, and just plain frustrated with myself! I looked & looked & looked but no knife to be found. I had to have something so I ran over to an antique show in the park and found a beautiful little knife to get me through the weekend.

No problem, when I got back home I would go get another knife like my the one I'd lost. I tracked down the knife....only to find out that the company had changed hands. The price had went up and the quality had went down. I hated the new knife and couldn't keep an edge on it ever! This set me out on a quest to find a knife that I LOVED! After about a year of searching, I came across this dandy lil' lady leg knife knife!

Lovely Lady Leg knives! I love these awesome lil' knives. I've been packing one for five years and I love it! They come sharp, hold an edge good, and are just a great lil' knife! Not only did I pack one, I gave them to a few buddies work hard and are hard on equipment. They all came back with a big thumbs up!

Here are a few of my favorites that Lil' Red Roan has to offer:

















Aren't they just awesome knives! I have a bit of a crush, I know. Just love them all! Thank you so much for traveling the gypsy trail with me today and letting me share one of my favorite things with you today! Hope you have a great weekend!
