Frederick’s Own 9-Year-Old Savannah Performs Alongside Carrie Underwood

You remember when Frederick’s own 9-year-old Savannah is went crazy viral for her ASL rendition of Carrie Underwood’s song #TheChampion?  Her dream finally came true and she met her all time favorite singer at Carrie’s concert in DC over the weekend.

Capturing hearts everywhere. Let’s recap.

Savannah earned her spotlight with millions of views of her ASL rendition online. Savannah identifies as deaf but has the assistance of hearing aids. She grew up loving music and learned sign language from a  young age. Her parents and two younger sisters are also deaf and as a family they speak ASL in their home. Savannah asked her Dad, Richard to film her signing Carrie Underwood’s  #TheChampion and it has taken the internet by storm.

Once Carrie Underwood saw the viral video, she invited Savannah and her family to the concert in DC. They hung out backstage and performed #TheChampion alongside each other…Carrie sang a cappella while Savannah signed the lyrics. Carrie even signed to Savannah, “I love you, beautiful girl.” from the stage during her concert. Check it out.

Way to go Savannah! Keep killin’ it girl. You’re a rockstar ❤️ Find her on Twitter and Instagram at @savvyasl and check out her Facebook page: Savvy ASL

{Katie’s Kitchen} All Day Crock Pot Roast

Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard 

Low and slow is all you need to remember to make this delicious roast in your slow cooker…and boy does it smell good when you get home!

I used a 4 lb. roast for the crock pot and marinaded it overnight with a beef marinade that I found at my local grocery store.

Slice your vegetables– baby red potatoes, yellow onion, and carrots chopped into large chunks.

After you place your roast in the crock pot, lay your veggies all around the roast. Then, use a package of beefy onion soup mix and sprinkle it over top of the roast and vegetables.

Pour a cup of beef broth and a cup of water into the crock pot.

Then, set your crock pot to low 8-10 hours (depending on your settings).

When the roast is tender and fully cooked, slice or pull apart the roast into chunks and serve with your cooked vegetables from the crock pot.

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 lb. roast (top round, rump roast, chuck roast)
  • 1 package of beefy onion soup mix
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup beef marinade (of your choice)
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 3-4 carrots
  • 1 lb. baby red potatoes.

Dragon Distillery is a small, veteran-owned business strongly rooted in the local Frederick, Maryland community. In the mid-1700s our family settled on a 200 acre tract of land about 25 miles away from the current distillery location. We are continuing the tradition of supporting and enjoying Frederick through our craft distillery. We create hand-crafted, premium, artisan spirits using locally-sourced, natural ingredients.
​
So why did we pick the name Dragon Distillery? We are huge fans of Dungeons & Dragons and all things geeky — role playing games, fencing and science-fiction/fantasy books and movies. We embrace our inner nerd. We delight in the slightly off-beat, and invite you to do the same.

The founder is a Navy veteran, having served as an Arabic linguist and intelligence analyst while stationed overseas and in Maryland. He served on a number of surface and subsurface ships while stationed in Greece for five years, and participated in Operations Desert Storm/Desert Shield. He served as a senior intelligence analyst on his return to the United States.
​
We are a located directly across from the airport. We specialize in small batch artisan spirits, made from the finest locally-sourced ingredients in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. Some may call us quirky or eccentric, and we are happy to embrace this. We believe in individuality, creativity, and innovation. We strive to bring all of this to the creation of our unique, high-quality spirits.
​
We’d love to tell you more, give you a tour, and help you learn about our craft and vision

{Katie’s Baby Blog} 10 Month Milestones

My sweet little baby is soaking up new things like a sponge. It amazing how at almost 11 months old, she has suddenly become a toddler and not my little baby anymore.

We have mastered “uh oh” and now it has become a game. Ill hand her something and she will hold it out, drop it… and then look at me and say “uh oh!”

She is all over the place; and my back is just about shot picking her up all day and putting her back down. 20 lbs…is heavier than you think! I’m just waiting for her to take her first step…it’s hard. Good thing is she loves anything interactive. So, I can always put her in her walker, the swing, her little car that I push outside, or her sit-to-stand v-tech toy

Teeth are coming in…slowly. Still only two bottom teeth so we still feed her “softer” foods since shes pretty much gumming everything. She loves bananas, butternut squash, and pasta!

We also had a fun event last weekend, Lily’s cousin Libby’s first birthday! My sister-in-law and I were pregnant together expecting a few weeks apart, so we were excited to celebrate by niece, but it also means that Lily’s first birthday is next!

Time to plan….

<3 Katie Ryan
