So, I made chicken pot pie the other night and it turned out super. Super like the cozy warm feeling you get thinking about when you were a kid and you would come in from playing on a cold winter day and your mom would have a nice warm dinner and it would just tingle all over as you ate ( Read more... )

Is it just me or is time going by incredibly fast? I need a few extra hours in the day, can someone talk to the big guy in charge and work that out for me ( Read more... )

I have managed to break and then unbreak my program at least 4 times today. I say unbreak because honestly, the fix shouldn't have fixed it. I think the director is over the email verbal match we had yesterday, and frankly today I'm not sure if I won or if she did - however I think I got my point across, which is all I was trying to do ( Read more... )

So, I wanted something, relatively healthy. Being that I didn't ( Read more... )

I found 101 Cookbooks this morning and more specifically found this Toasted Pumpkin Seed recipe, which I will be making in the next 2 weeks or so, for sure. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Sweet & Spicy recipe turns out. I've actually horded quite a few new recipes I want to try relatively soon. However, seeing that the resident chef ( Read more... )

I am so glad Pop is back home. One of the many reasons why... cooking ( Read more... )

I spent the morning shopping at Kohls, which is always a great way to start my day. I ended up buying some black suit shorts and a very non-tekki type shirt to go with it. It's almost like a peasant shirt, but it's more of a retro color and design, red, black, blue swirls. I'll have to take a picture of it. I also got a dressy tank that will look ( Read more... )
