I also found a way to make money by doing the shopping I would be doing anyways and thought I would share :)

My cousin Amanda gave birth yesterday (via voluntary C-section) to a 7lb 10oz baby BOY. He was 21 inches long.

The crazy thing...they were expecting a girl! I guess surprises still happen :)

On Tuesday, I received the most gorgeous bouquet of flowers on my front porch. I brough them inside and the entire house was filled with the most wonderful aroma. Good smells always make me want MORE good smells so I decided to create my second favorite smell in this world...simmering pasta sauce! For my birthday, I got Giada's Everyday Italian ( Read more... )

Last night, on our quest to cook at least 2 new dishes a week, I undertook the task of Japanese Style Pork. Overall, very yummy but I would make a few changes and I ran into a few problems
