Kelly from Sounding My Barbaric Gulp chose the recipe for this weeks Tuesdays With Dorie. I love pumpkin. Up until this year, I thought pumpkin was good only in cookies or cake, but not pie. But now I know my error, as I made a pumpkin pie for Jon a few weeks ago and man […]
So I finished my Course 2 of Wilton today. Some of you wanted to see pictures, so, ummm, here they are. Told you the colors are different. Those of you who have taken the course know that the colors are cute little pastelly numbers. I am not cute or pastelly. Yes, some of my flowers […]
This week’s TWD recipe was chosen by Gretchen of Canela & Comino…her blog is pretty fab, you should check it out.While I don’t like biscotti, I made it. It was good enough, but again, biscotti…not sweet enough for me, too hard for my taste…and I don’t need extra calories lying around, especially ones I don’t […]
As I sit here typing, Blogger Friends, I cannot lie. I AM FAT and I AM OLD. I am out of shape, and God, do my inner thighs know it. I know exactly why I gave up physical activity…umm, it’s called pain. It’s going to take me a week to get over this Field Trip. […]
Hooray! It’s Pie Day! For our very first “You Want Pies With That” Challenge, we were to choose one of our favorite movies and make a pie based on it. Sooo difficult for me. Horribly difficult. I love movies. My favorites are Out of Africa, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The English Patient…well, lets […]
For this week’s TWD, Tammy of Wee Treats by Tammy chose Caramel-Peanut-Topped Brownie Cake on pages 264 and 265. After a couple of weeks without participating, this one was a fun one to bring me back! While I wasn’t a big fan of the “cake” part of the recipe (mine was a little too dry […]
We set out yesterday about 9:30 to head to Blacksburg and watch the Hokies play. Jon is so big into tailgating, and while I do enjoy it, it just isn’t my favorite thing in the world to do. I mean, first off, I leave to food to him. He and his friend Adam built these […]
I know I have been taking the easy way out for a couple of weeks now when it comes to MKMW. Let me apologize. I should try harder. It was my silly brainchild, after all. India was a debacle. I got a few not so nice comments on my effort with that one. Well, one […]
Or the post otherwise known as Peabody is the Devil. Yep, you heard me right. The Devil. Did you see her post on Pumpkin Whoopie Pies? Well, I did…and I knew the minute I saw them I HAD to have them. You see, my hub has an affection for pumpkin. His Mom makes his favorite […]
No, seriously. You Mommies might want to check this out. (click to view the post) Run Away, Run Away!! (Everytime I say that, I keep hearing Monty Pythons English KaNigits fleeing the Frenchman’s Castle on their coconut horses.) On a similar note, Seven has managed to ruin his baby monitors. Yes, plural. Last night he […]
Goodness! Barely getting this post in on time! 3 posts in one day is too many for me. Like, two too many. But I. Am. A. Daring. Baker. And as a Daring Baker, I know the rules. Post on Post day or Off With Your Head. Shunned for life. Banished from all that is great […]
Yawn. Jon is gone, having a big time in Athens, Georgia this weekend, where he has sideline (yes, SIDELINE) passes to the Georgia/Alabama game on Saturday. No, I wasn’t even invited. Instead, I get to stay home and take care of The Boy, and clean out all my closets and the laundry room and the […]
