Not just once, but twice

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

Twice this week (and it’s only Wednesday!) I’ve cooked and it’s turned out well. Even better than that, I even remembered to take pictures. I might turn into a foodblogger yet! There was nothing terribly groundbreaking about Monday night’s dinner. These were rehashed recipes, but thrown together in a new combination. Here we have grilled […]

Blast my impatient ways!

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

I made the prettiest dessert the other night when the cute boyfriend was coming over. And, as always, dived into it without thinking to grab the camera! *rolls eyes* It was quite simple and could have even been healthy if I’d wanted it to. However, the cute boyfriend refuses to touch sugar free stuff as […]

Southern Fried Indian Feast

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

My urge to cook came back hardcore. However, the effort that I threw into it yesterday may have served to completely kill that urge once more. I completely slaved on this dinner and it didn’t turn out all that great. It was all ok, but mostly just ok. I had decided that I wanted to […]

How to ruin a diet in under 30 minutes.

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

More fiddling with pictures. On this one I didn’t use the flash and let pshop auto correct the levels. The color is a wee bit off – vanilla ice cream isn’t quite that yellowy and the rim on the plate is green. Note on that – those pyrex plates are ones that I’ve been eating […]

Fun with Cake!

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

I don’t have the patience for lovely staging of food photos for my blog. I tend to just snap a quick shop before digging in. The flash always winds up washing everything out until it all looks white. Believe me, though, when I tell you that this cake tastes amazing and actually looks fairly pretty. […]

A happy accident

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

Yesterday, I had to work. This is not normal for a Saturday, but it was a special case. Being that I had to be there super early and would not finish before the farmer’s market closed, this means that I had to wake up super early to make it to the market before work. After […]

Joy! It is officially spring!

Sunday, April 15th, 2007

The weather is still horrible. It was raining all day yesterday and must have been about 40 degrees. I was freezing, but braved the ick for opening day of our local farmer’s market. I nearly had the place to myself. As I had expected, most of the produce was trucked in from much further south. […]

I’ll never be a good food blogger

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

By the time I get finished cooking, I’m always too hungry to remember to get a picture. I tend to remember it when I am looking down at a half eaten dinner. The menfolk have obviously decided that if they want anything other than a sandwich, they are going to have to start doing the […]

Craft catch-up (image heavy)

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

It’s time to finally let you see some of the projects that I’ve been working on lately.

Peanut butter and jelly diet

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

I’m still dealing with the lack of interest in food. I don’t watch food network as much as before, nor do I surf the food blogs as much. If something strikes my fancy in the little perusing I actually do, I’ll throw myself into it with zeal. However, nothing has really struck my fancy for […]
