  Martha Stewart is ruining my life. That might be a bit of an overstatement, but she definitely did ruin my day. I found the recipe for her Boston Cream Pie at her website, and though "oh, I'll try that...why not?" PFFT! Why not indeed. I think t...

• Camping
  on Jun 13, 2009 in Goodwill randomness family potatoes failure
  That's a pretty catchy title, eh? I reeled ya right in with that one. So we just got back yesterday afternoon. We stayed in a yurt. I love yurts...no trying to pitch a tent in the rain and the dark. It's already pitched. And you can lock the door. As...
• Leavin' on a Jet Plane
  on Jun 8, 2009 in randomness
  Not really leaving in a plane so much as a Mercury. Driving north a bit to get out of the desert, see some pretty pine trees, and roast some weenies. I'll miss y'all a whole lot. There could be some withdrawal going on. Probably nothing that can't...

  I'm not sure...is black bottom one word? Should I have ran that together? When I'm tired, questions like these haunt me.One thing's for sure...hula girl thought they were hula-licious! (I know, I'm sorry...it's the fatigue.)Found the recipe at Joy of...

• Skillet Pizza
  on May 23, 2009 in main dish
  I saw this recipe at Mommy's Kitchen and really wanted to give it a try. It actually makes enough for 3 crusts (I made one big and one little). I put the leftover crust in the freezer to try another time. Not sure how that will work out.I thought the...
