A bulk bag of frozen Broccoli from our latest Sams Club adventure got put in fridge instead the freezer… not good. With pounds of broccoli needing to be eaten ASAP, I though making a batch of soup would be the best way to go. A quick google search brought me to this recipe on AllRecipes.com….

Fun with knots! All you need is a roll of Hemp…
I’ve been cleaning my room and sorting out all of my craft stuff… which of course includes several 1/2 finished projects… and I came across this: It’s a cool hemp macrame piece, about 1″ across, and I think originally I wanted it to be a belt…. but the remaining cord doesn’t seem like it will…
Playing in the Kitchen: 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
A single serving of chocolate cake, made in 5 minutes w/o having to turn on the oven?? Sounds Fabulous. And wouldn’t a mug with a baggie of ingredients & recipe card attached make a creative Christmas gift for friends? My mom and I decided to try the recipe before investing the time and money in…
Using Social Media As Resource, Not a Distraction

The Making of a Penguin Pumpkin
I’m working Halloween night (so I can get Christmas or New Years off, such is life in the hospitality industry) but I was still able to get a little creative for the occasion… the hotel I work at has a pumpkin carving/decorating contest! This is my 3rd year to participate… my last 2 were pretty…

So after lots of chopping and some onion tears, I created this: Yum Yum! There wasn’t a specific recipe, I just went from the memmory of past dips. 🙂 Here’s the ingredients,…
A skein is a terrible thing to waste: Learning How to Knit
While cleaning my room/organizing my living space this weekday-weekend (my days off rarely fall on a Saturday-Sunday), I realized I have a lot of space-hogs. One is my VHS movie collection. Another major culprit is YARN. Apparently I have lots of yarn… 2 big Rubbermaid plastic storage bins full. And then I got ANOTHER huge…
Sew what?? A bag and a bear!
September is National Sewing Month! But you already knew that, right. :/ I found out via a Joann’s Fabrics email. If you cant find a Happy Sewing month cards at Hallmark, you could always make one yourself 😀 My last weekend was originally supposed to be 4 days, but turned into 6 days off… leaving…

Manhattan/Financial District as seen from Hoboken, NJ September 11, 2004 It’s weird living in Texas on September 11th. Texas itself isn’t to blame. It just feels different, almost inappropriate, on how normal the day feels here. As many of you are aware, I was in Washington DC as a college student on September 11, 2001….
How to go on the St Arnold Brewery Tour
Lets start by stating the obvious. Beer is delicious. And beer should not taste like water. Yes, some people choose to drink beer that tastes like you just dunked your dixiecup in a toilet for one reason or another. But wait, you say… it’s inexpensive, and refreshing, and the commercials are so funny. Seriously? Maybe…
