Month: October 2005

Tonight for company dinner I made another new recipe form this month’s Cooking Light magazine. This is about as simple as it gets, and it was very good. Definitely a winner. It was a mustard and blackberry glazed ham, and it was very good. At first I wasn’t sure if […]

Today I am making brownies. To be specific, Chocolate Mint Brownies. This is one of those recipes that I would never really think to make it myself. I am not a huge mint fan with chocolate, but it does have its moments. This is one of those moments. I see […]

So I did cook today. After the last two days I needed to just spend some time with the kids. So we had a nice lazy day together. My brother and his family came over for a little while to play, and that was nice, the kids really love Kara […]

Wow.That’s just about all I can say.Wow.It has been a crazy two days. As a little background, every year Andy and I work on our local High School musical. It’s kind of a hobby for us that we can do together- and we do it well. He does the technical […]

It’s been a very tense couple of days at our house, and it only stands to get worse. Personally I have been struggling to finish my costume efforts to meet my self imposed deadline of Thursday. I actually am almost done. I have one dress to alter, and my nightmare […]

Yesterday’s post appeared magically just now. So I guess you get two posts at once! How exciting! This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License.

Well, that’s a mouthful, say that three times. Yesterday I posted a nice post about how I was almost finished with my sewing projects and was looking forward to playing in the kitchen today. Well, somehow blogger ate my post. It was rather poetic and exciting. (At least for me) […]

Oh was that kitchen calling. More specifically, the oven. After yesterday’s frolicking in the kitchen, I really wanted to do more. It was such a dreary and drizzly day, the oven just sang to me. “Bake something.” “Bake something gooey!” “Bake something that is warm and comforting.” And guess what. […]

Today was Andy’s birthday so I had to do a little something special for him for dinner. We don’t do a whole lot for each other’s birthdays, but we do make each other a yummy dinner. Tonight Andy requested red meat. Then he narrowed that down to steak. It was […]

I have discovered loose tea. I found it, of all places, at the shop where Andy gets his beer brewing supplies. They have a small selection of about 15-20 loose teas. I went with Andy the last time he needed something, and got myself a little sampler. The tea is […]

So I did cook today.But I REALLY hate sewing. There, got it out of my system (I think). I really am in the home stretch, so hopefully soon I will be back in the kitchen doing what I love.Anyway, tonight I made a recipe that I got from Bon Appetit […]

Sorry, no excitement in the kitchen today or yesterday, and most likely not tomorrow either. I am on a roll with my sewing projects and in order to maintaint my pace, I must keep myself focused. It’s hard, that’s for sure, but I am up against a deadline, and I […]
