It's almost been one year....
I don't write in here much any more. In fact, probably no one will even read this. That's ok. This is too personal to share with the bloggers of WordPress and definitely way too personal for it to be shot automatically to my facebook page. Twitter is fine. I think I have about 3 followers....if one of them reads it, I'm okay with that.

The One Where I Muse about Alcohol...
Kinda sounds like the title of an episode of Friends, doesn't it?
So why this odd post on my livejournal when I've essentially abandoned it for my WordPress cooking blog? Well, I wanted to keep my LJ for my more personal musings and/or stuff that I really don't want most people to see. And now, here we are.
I digress. This doesn't have much to ( Read more... ) -
Christmas is for cookies!
I was feeling the Christmas spirit while listening to Christmas tunes on my way to work this morning. In turn, I was inspired to bake some cookies this evening. I began with a mix I purchased from Celebrating Home. It is an apple crisp oatmeal cookie mix. Scott loves oatmeal cookies, and I've found that it's difficult to make plain oatmeal ( Read more... ) -
I can't take ANY credit for this one...
Ok, so let's face it. It is not always possible to make wonderful kitchen creations. They often take time and effort that by the end of the day, many of us do not have to give. For this reason, I often rely on "boxed dinners" as they are labeled in the grocery isle at WalMart. I'm sure many of you know about Hamburger Helper. When I was ( Read more... ) -
Back to cooking!
It's been awhile since I've blogged about my cooking escapades. One reason being that I haven't cooked anything all that interesting lately.....ok, really, that's about it. So here's the latest dish from my kitchen to yours.

Yummy pasta
Anyone who knows me that I love just about anything that includes pasta. Half....actually, probably 3/4 of my meals in college were from the pasta bar. Some of this had to do with the lack of other edible options offered by the cafeteria. Some of it also had to do with the fact that each portion of pasta was made right in front of you, which is ( Read more... ) -
Turtle Cheesecake
Well, as I said in my last entry, it turns out that despite my dinner disaster on Sunday, my dessert was a hit. Today, I tried it for myself, and I have to say it was pretty good. Keep in mind, that I'm actually not a fan of cheesecake, and I truly made this dessert with Scott in mind. I hoped that this particular take on it was something that ( Read more... ) -
Cooking
I had great intentions tonight to become a "real" blogger by beginning to write about my culinary adventures. While inspired by "Julie & Julia," it wouldn't be nearly as intense, nor would it be focused on the cookbook of one person ( Read more... ) -
Do I look like an idiot??
This weekend was another Rebecca wedding weekend. As one of Rebecca Brandt (now Rebecca Clayton's) privileged bridesmaids, I began my journey on Friday....the 13th. This in and of itself is quite ominous, and the unluckiness of the number did not fail to cross my mind.
I began my day early (at 7 AM) in order to get some tasks accomplished before ( Read more... ) -
