I totally and completely adore PF Chang. I could eat there weekly. I don’t think that I’ve had anything there that I didn’t like. The local one went through a phase for a while where the spring rolls were overly greasy, but the last couple of times I’ve been there they’d corrected that. It wasn’t […]
Most every work day I browse Pinterest. On the days that I skip lunch, I spend all afternoon obsessively looking at recipes. Yesterday was just such a day. I got it in my head that I was going to go home and make old school spaghetti with red meat sauce (Ragu and hamburger) but then […]
Sometimes when we discuss food that we grew up eating, Sparks laughs and asks how I managed to make it through childhood. There’s all sorts of stuff that I didn’t have growing up. I didn’t eat hamburger helper until I was in my 20s. I didn’t have manwich until I started dating Sparks. We just […]
I’m even still crafting! Oh! The crafts! Sock monsters and ceramics and knitted things and tunisian crochet and felted items and hand spun yarn and Big Bob is finally in progress! I rarely take time to post anything more than a quick photo to fb before moving on to the next thing.
I got this recipe from my pop, he’d clipped it from the local paper. I made this for a barbecue I attended this weekend and it went over very well. So well that I must now share the recipe. Lemon Bars butter for greasing pan 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, divided 3/4 cups powdered […]
I’ve gotten this really bad habit of buying new knitting needles every time I do a new project. This means that I have several of certain sizes. Surprisingly though, I have fewer needles than expected. Today, I made myself a caddy for my knitting needles/crochet hooks. I’m quite pleased. I’m also quite pleased with my […]
As I have stated elsewhere, I popped into my local yarn shop the other night and saw this really neato demo scarf and declared that I must make it. My yarnmonger gave me a quick tutorial and set me free. I found the yarn rather awkward with my limited knitting skills, but I enjoyed it […]
My mommy didn’t want anything for her birthday, so I’ll probably just buy her dinner. Besides, I kind of blew out on her for Christmas. My friend Dream shares a birthday with my mommy. She’s recently become addicted to Angry Birds and I’d thought of making her an Angry Bird plush like I’d seen over […]
They say you should learn something every single day. For the most part I do. Today’s lesson was, just because it looks like Pyrex, does not mean that it necessarily IS Pyrex. Earlier today, I had a few minutes to kill and cruised Tastespotting looking for a little inspiration. I haven’t cooked anything beyond a […]
When I purchased The Asylum, I declared that it was absolutely perfect as it was, there was no need to change a thing. Um, except this one little thing and that one little thing. Do you know what happens when you casually mention to my father that you (ok, only if YOU are me, his […]
