Scalloped Potato Recipe
My Aunt and I made this last week, and it was unbelievably good! I have to say that I was really grossed out by the thought of mayo in the sauce (the recipe uses no cream or milk!), and when she poured the sauce over the potatoes I thought there wasn't enough and that the dish would be dry. However, we followed the recipe exactly and I wouldn't ( Read more... ) -
Resolution!
I want to apologize -- I haven't been keeping up with my friends list for months. I feel like I am really missing out on what's going on with lots of people I care about and this coming year I am planning to be more on top of reading it.
Here are a couple of pictures my mom took when she visited last month -- these were taken the day before it ( Read more... ) -
Possession
I've been meaning to read Possession by A. S. Byatt since college and never got around to it. I finally saw the film (usually I wait until I've read the book) and loved it. I am now eagerly looking forward to getting a copy of the novel from the library tomorrow, with ever expectation that it will be better than the adaptation.

Boo.
Well, I was over-eager and cut into my fashion fabric (a $3.00 remnant, but still) to make Lauren's trouser pattern, and I should have messed with the length first!

I'm not going to bother trying to help people out with the theatre thing anymore. I got a rude email back after I offered more assistance this morning, and I'm just fed up. I told them on Monday had to withdraw because we only have 1 car and J is working during the rehearsals, and J's mom can't watch the baby because she needed to help my sister-in ( Read more... ) -
Hate you, Anthro.

"We are trying to conserve paper and other resources by not sending catalogs to customers who have been inactive. Please include your mailing address."

Happy Birthday Abby!!
Abs, I hope your birthday is really, really awesome.
Love you! -
LJ, I HATE THE LAYOUT!
Okay, this is absolutely out of control. They need to scale WAY THE HECK BACK on the adds and all the extra doo-dahs all over the place. I can't even think straight. -
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
Tell me I am not crazy for saying "No you can't have popsicles" after giving the kids an entire bag of kettle corn after dinner. And that I am not unreasonable or cruel by telling them they have to sleep downstairs now that we've moved their sleeping stuff down there after they whined and whined and whined about wanting to be where the TV is. We ( Read more... )
