Craptastic week last week and I'm not sure I'm recovered. The next few months promise to be more of the same. Blech.

On the bright side, this weekend was nice. Spent a few evenings with Mr. and Mrs. bitterwinters, with dinner on Friday, a beer tasting on Saturday, and a potato salad-fest for dinner tonight. bitterwinters's potato salad puts mine to shame, it's so damn ( Read more... )

My team at work is split into two parts, with each part having it's own supervisor. Tomorrow the supervisor over the other half of my team, Matt, is turning 40. A couple of the guys have decided to play pranks on him, since it's the big 4-0 and Matt is for the most part a serious guy. So I decided to go the nice route and bake things for him. His ( Read more... )

I got a hankering for pinwheels today after work. I was complaining to Mike about how it sucked that I wanted pinwheels and we didn't have any and he asked, "Why don't you just make some?" And I went through how difficult would be to make them. I'd have to make marshmallows because we didn't have any, I'd have to make cookies, because we didn't ( Read more... )

This past spring we planted a few different varieties of tomatoes. I plant tomatoes almost solely to turn them into sauce or salsa, while Mike loves fresh tomatoes on sandwiches, salads, and tacos. Because of this we had to plant kinds that would suit both of our needs. We picked an heirloom variety that looked promising, some romas, and an all ( Read more... )

Oh I really did have plans for this long weekend. Getting stuff clean and getting other things done. But did I do most of them? Nooo. I read, and I cooked, and I took pictures. Oh and I ate. Lots. And it was all delicious. No guilt ( Read more... )

Because of my long weekend I got my menu planning for this week done last Friday. I didn't get a chance to post it until today, though.

Memorial Day Monday: Brats, hotdogs, corn on the cob, and potato salad
Tuesday: Sausage, egg, and cheese casserole. I have a couple of bags of leftover buns from the potluck last week that need used up.

Last week I made some cookies to sell as part of my fundraising effort for my Pelotonia ride. In one day I made over $70! So I decided to up my offerings a bit to make even more. So today was spent baking baking baking. There was also a minor head injury thrown in there when I stood up underneath the open freezer door, but once the bleeding ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is April Fools Day. It is also the anniversary of when Mike and I first started dating. If anyone remembers, it was also the day that I cut my thumb at work and had to go to the ER and get stitches. That day was not romantic in any sense both because of the pain of my thumb and because of the tough times we were both going through, but it ( Read more... )
