when you’re eyeing the display of Xmas themed ceramic loaf pans and thinking, “I could bake some sort of bread and give it as Xmas presents!” So yeah, I went to the craft store/homeware place for my annual “Oh, why the hell not? Let’s try to CREATE something” trip. Last year’s creation was this. I…

Yum!
Made these for dinner tonight. The verdict is that they are VERY good. I grew up eating my mother’s stuffed green peppers and I loved them! However, I wanted something a little more offbeat so I found the recipe. I made it with ground lamb instead of ground beef. I had no idea how fatty…
I.Am.So.Upset
Freaking doggies. I came home about a half hour ago and Gene told me to go outside to see what “my babies” have done. It’s absolute footwear carnage…oh my god. It’s the end of my awesome Lands End sandals, my Babe the Pig slippers, near the end of my (NEW) brown shoes, the Homer Simpson…
Big Things!

Happy Birthday, D!
Today is D’s birthday. I took her to lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant. My boss gave her a bunny figurine meant to hang off bookshelves. She also hugged D. Yuck. So after we finished getting all the nasty germs off D’s arms… Anyway! Happy Birthday to D! Happy Birthday to D! Happy Birthday Dear…

Pictures I meant to Post, Pt IV (Finale)…
And because there’s always room for Scooby humiliating, here’s Scooby wearing Betty’s kerchief from the last time they were groomed. Damn, that’s one fugly old country grandma. Poor doggy.
