Month: August 2005

Today I learned how to sew! I got out my machine and got to work learning how to make a poodle skirt. I will say, it was waaaay easier than I had anticipated. The waistband was a little tricky, but I must say, the skirt looks pretty darn good. And […]

I bought a bunch of bananas last Wednesday, and essentially forgot about them, so I am on a banana bread making spree today. I have found with my banana bread that although it is fabulous fresh- it is even better after it has had the opportunity to sit in the […]

Well, yesterday, along with my pie and veggies, I made a double batch of sweet pickle relish. That turned out great- I must say. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of heat the Hungarian Wax peppers add to a few of the jars. Today, in an attempt to do […]

Please don’t post a spam comment on my blog. I will simply delete it anyway- so save yourself the time and just don’t do it. Thank you. So tonight I tried a new recipe for roasted vegetables from Fresh Every Day. Very good, and very easy to throw together. I’ve […]

Hooray! I’m back! We had a horrible snafu with the cable company and moving. Somehow they never got my change address order, and of course didn’t have any open appointments for a week. So I spent an entire week without my computer- and without TV. The only thing we could […]

And have some time to waste (unlike me, who shouldn’t right now). Someone on the CL bulletin board shared this site. Very fun, very good for wasting time. Give it a whirl. http://www.widro.com/throwpaper.htmlAnd let me know how you do. The darn fan keeps throwing me off- and the best I’ve […]

Today I was able to unpack my cookbooks. It is officially a home now. 🙂 Of course, having a pantry, my cookbook shelves no longer are needed to hold actual “stuff” so the shelves are looking a little bare. I must do something about that. 😉I did get 2 new […]

I am just thrilled about this. For the last four years I have “made do” with pantry shelves all over the place. I had pantry shelves in the basement, pantry shelves in the laundry room, and pantry shelves (sort of) in the kitchen. It made it a real challenge to […]

I’m so excited! I figured out how to add links to my blog. I know I am soooo behind the times with that one- but I did it anyways. Be sure and check them out- there is foodie inspiration there to be sure. I will be adding more links- I […]

I think I like this look better. It just looks cleaner. Let me know what you think.Tonight I made a fabulous dinner for the kids. Mmmm. Nothing can beat Spaghettio’s with hot dogs cut up into it. Okay, so maybe a lot of things could beat that, LOL. I did […]

So I have decided that a new home needs to be christened by a batch of cookies. There is nothing like the yummy smell of baking crispiness and chocolate to make a home smell like a home. So tonight I am taking the cookie dough for Mocha Truffle Cookies- because […]

I get the keys to our new house on Wednesday!!!!!! At 4:00pm central time, I get my new place!!! I cannot wait! I was supposed to get the keys next Monday- and it has been almost painful waiting- but things have come up and we get to move in sooner! […]
