One year down, the rest of my life to go.....
Well, it's official, I've made it my first year gluten-free, and I have never once cheated. Yippee!!! It got me to thinking about what specifically I have been without for one full year....
Fast Food - Totally un-American, I know. In fact, I expect the deportation paperwork to show up any day now. "Back to Russia, you pinko commie!" But it has ( Read more... ) -
Ginger-Yam Fritters
I am a culinary genius. At least that is what I am telling myself tonight.
I had no inspiration for what to make for dinner tonight, other than when I bought fresh ginger last night for the Szechwan dish I was making, the G.O. store only had it in bags of 6-7 large pieces. That's enough ginger for me for about 4 months, if only it would hold ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Nothing much going on with me, but I happened to be surfing over at Open.Salon, and came across this article. I don't think I would have believed it (I've seen too many of the email jokes about this passed around), but with photos too? Too funny....

We ended up scraping the sauce and goodies off the top, and tossing the soggy under part. Blech. Yesterday, she tried using ( Read more... ) -
Is it my perfume?

The best news in weeks
Today at the office, supermatt41 and I had a meeting with the current guru for all things IT. He let slip to us that in the near future, we may once again be allowed to access social networking sites at the office. Woo-hoo! I'll be able to keep up on my LJ again, finally!!!

My new favorite outdoor toy
Being a new homeowner, I'm also new to the whole yard-work shtick. My dad, bless his heart, had been saving an older gas-powered lawn mower for me for years, just waiting for me to buy a house. He showed me several weeks back how it worked, and was pleased as punch with himself.....until we got to the part where my trick shoulder wasn't up to ( Read more... ) -
Another kitchen success story (mostly)
Well, I've tried two new recipes so far this weekend, and at least one of them was a complete and total success. The other, well, let's just say I'll be trying something different in the future ( Read more... )
