Look at me, I made a loaf of bread! After making the Macaroni Grill Bread, I decided I wanted to try again, with a difference recipe, and make more of an everyday bread. After scouring the Food Network and Martha Stewart websites (to no avail) I went to The Pioneer Woman. And found a recipe…

Playing in the Kitchen: Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies
This recipe, from my grandma, makes wonderfully soft sugar cookies. Not just “not crunchy” or “chewy” but seriously SOFT. And delicious. What sets this recipe apart from your standard sugar cookie is the soured cream. No, not Sour Cream (save that for your enchiladas). These cookies call for Heavy Cream that has soured. Don’t worry,…
I can spell Bologna. Why?
It’s never a boring day with the Wienermobile rolls into town! It’s a shame I did not have a better camera with me.
Playing In The Kitchen: Romano’s Macaroni Grill Bread
If you can’t grow ANYTHING, you should try growing rosemary. This herb needs very little attention, and grows like a weed. And then you can bake this bread! Ok, so the recipe I found in my Food Network Magazine called for dried rosemary, which I might have in my pantry (but if I do, it’s…
The CPSIA -or- Why I do not sell baby clothes on Etsy
I enjoy making baby Onesies very much. From a crafter perspective, they are very cute and are a small project that can be completed in an evening. From a business perspective, baby clothes are something that people will always spend money on. Stuff for babies and stuff for pets. Cute stuff, which is what I…
This Rocked My Pi World
I love math. I think it’s beautiful and interesting. It’s problem solving that leads to answers. And it’s so satisfying to reach a definite conclusion after working a single problem on an entire sheet of college ruled notebook paper. My math mind stops somewhere after beginners calculus (or as GW calls it “Calculus for Business…

A quick lesson in cooking: Test your eggs before you use them! Drop egg in a glass or bowl full of water. If it… * Sinks to the bottom and stays there, it is about three to six days old. * Sinks, but floats at an angle, it’s more than a week old. * Sinks,…
Snowdrops in Texas
No. I am not talking about the weather. On Thursday, my mom and I watched an interesting segment on The Martha Stewart Show about Snowdrop Plants. They’re pretty little flowers that are one of the first to start growing after a long winter, even if there is still snow on the ground. Well, it rarely…
Free Curly Fries @ Arbys
The first time I went to an In-n-Out, I didn’t eat there. I went across the parking lot, got food from Arby’s and brought food back to eat with my family at this place I hadn’t heard of before. I still love Arby’s. And food coupons. Yay! Print out this coupon for a free drink…
Happy Birthday Texas!
Apparently, the town where the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed is not too awful far from where I live. Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site is a place like Heritage Hill (in SoCal) or Sutter’s Fort (in Sacramento) … historical buildings and actors recreating a time when Texas declared independence from Mexico (in 1836… it took…
