I finally done travelling for a while. I went to an exercise of our BioWatch program. If you are not familiar with exercises, it's not working out but practicing our emergency protocols. This way they are more familiar when an actual emergency occurs. BioWatch is a federal program. According to the Department of Homeland Security: [...]
We just got internet installed at the new house. We have been in a dead zone for a long time. Being able to do a video chat for the first time was glorious. The WIFI is working, but the hard wired stuff is not. More testing to do, but we are cooking with gas! I [...]
OMG! We are finally moving stuff in earnest. I finished the gym floor and did a final cleaning before that. I can't believe it's finally here. The hoarded house has become our home. There are only two of us so it will take us some time to move. However, we are moving. I'm so excited! [...]
NOTE: if you notice that the pictures are different than the recipe, that's because it is. I messed up and put the cake layer down first instead of the pumpkin pie. Oh, well. It still turned out great. I know it's after Thanksgiving, but I figured I would do one more shout out to fall. [...]
Everyday I get more and more excited to move to the new house. I finished the painting of the last room. Flooring is in the process of being laid. After that, it's trim and adding in a few final touches. Then the big clean up. Tony added some electric to my makeup vanity in my [...]
Now that I'm back from the conference, I'm worn out. I have a week's worth of work on the house I need to do. I'll be handling this over the next week while I'm on vacation. Maybe after both houses are done and one sold, I can have real vacation. Maybe soon. Oh well. This [...]
Things are ramping up around here in terms of our new house. I get to spend two days off working on laying flooring that Tony hasn't been able to do. To be fair, very few people can lay the Trafficmaster laminate floor from Home Depot. It doesn't like to click together and it's kinda flimsy. [...]
I have plenty of desserts right now. Making another batch of something would be overkill. I thought it would be good to do a single serving recipe. When you want something quick. I searched high and low for a recipe. Something besides the same brownie in a mug or yellow or chocolate cake in a [...]
I've made pumpkin desserts and cranberry desserts. I have not made a dessert with both pumpkin AND cranberry. If they are both good on their own, maybe they would be great together. This is what I plan to make. I got the idea when I came across a recipe for Pumpkin and Cranberry Cake from [...]
Here we go again with another beet recipe. It is true, I hate to waste food. While Tony was sick, he planned to juice these. The juice upset his stomach. The soup I made with some of these beets was a hit. Now, I'm going to make a cake. I love to find new ways [...]
