She being Paula Deen. I had a 40% off coupon for A.C. Moore the other day (kind of like a Michaels) and it was seriously burning a hole in my pocket. Unfortunately, there was very little money in said pocket, yet it usually feels like my hips and or butt are on fire for one […]
We are, right? I mean, all of you comment on how yummy something I made looks (even when you KNOW yours looked WAY better) – you give me encouragement when I write those crazy “disappearing” posts, and you sign up to bake cookies for strangers just because I asked you to. So yes, you ARE […]
For me, that’s the US. Obviously. Have you read the way I talk?! So why have our home country as this week’s Challenge? Well, we are still on Olympic time, and what better way to show our support than to put a picture of Michael Phelps on our cooking blogs? Umm, I mean, than to […]
What happens in Mexico, stays in Mexico… This week’s country of choice comes from Natashya of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies. Of course, there is no way that poor Natashya could know that yes, we have in fact been to Mexico, too, and that yes, I have lame-o stories about it. I don’t sway […]
The blogging world amazes me. Very few of us actually know each other personally, and yet, I consider so many of you to be friends. Especially now, more than ever. When I sent out an email yesterday to a few bloggers asking for help, I hoped maybe a couple would respond. Boy was I surprised […]
There are two kinds of people – Greeks, and everyone else who wish they was Greek. Well, at least that’s what the father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding assumed. He could be right, you know? Life is a whole lot simpler there, or at least it seems like it is anyway. This week’s choice […]
That’s right, I wanna talk about ME, I wanna talk about I, wanna talk about Number One oh My Me My… Well, not really. But I’ve been tagged again. Oh yeah, uhhh-giiin. People just can’t get enough of me, that’s all I have to say about that. I’m an internet rock star, just ask me. […]
Seven is staying the night with my folks, so I have had a lazy afternoon/evening complete with a nap AND a bath. A LONG one. I know you mommies out there are SOOO envious right about now. (Jamie, Jayne, and all you others, you know who you are!) But there is a kicker to the […]
Well, after weeks of seeing so many foodies proudly displaying their “Friend of Blake Makes” badges, I finally cruised on over to Blake’s site. After only a few moments there I knew that I, too, wanted to be a friend of Blake Makes…so I am. And as Blakes new friend, I just have to show […]
So much better than going out…and so much cheaper! Tonight we had our friends Doug, Rae and Ryane up for diner while Doug’s wife Rikki made cakes at the DQ (Father’s Day is busy!) It was a good time – Jon fired up the grill and made chicken wings and London Broil. Very tasty – […]
Thank you Donna! Donna of Spatulas & Corkscrews, one of my favorite blogs gave me an award today…my first award here in blogger land! Donna has been a real inspiration to me since I met her in my Tuesdays With Dorie group – she has so much knowledge and doesn’t mind me asking for help […]
After much thought and deliberation (and much demanding from a hungry husband) I have set up this blog to document the journey of experiencing other cultures through food. That’s right – food…that I make. And YOU make. Each week a country will be chosen, and we adventurous types will have 7 days to find a […]
