Month: December 2009

This week I was looking for something a little different to add to dinner.  It was burger night, and we were looking forward to sampling some burgers from Omaha Steaks.  Abigail has been asking for burgers for a few weeks, so I was more than happy to put it on […]

After 4 1/2 years of blogging,  I think I finally have the look I’ve wanted all this time.   As far as I know, it looks great in a few browsers, so if there are any troubles, let me know.  Otherwise, there are just a few minor tweaks that I’ll be […]
