(click to download handwritten pdf) Jan 30th, 2012 Dear Reader, As January comes to a close and I began to review my month for a “wrap up” type post.  I had a wonderful idea!  I decided this month we’d try something different.  It came to me that I would like to write you a letter.  It’s a shame I do not have your mailing address nor the funding to actually send you all a letter via “snail mail”.  So until such a time as postage becomes free or I win…

This week is going to be a quick n easy week for us.  Everyone has tons going on this week so cooking will be at a minimum. MONDAY Popcorn Chicken potato salad TUESDAY Build your own PIZZA night WEDNESDAY Breakfast for Dinner THURSDAY Frugal Crock Pot Chili FRIDAY Chili Dogs SATURDAY (I can’t have bread, so this is what I have. Faux Fry) Burgers Fries SUNDAY Tuna Melts Spinach Salad   Do you plan your weeks cooking ahead of time?  I do.  On Sunday morning I sit down in my…

I am so tired lately.  I go to bed and just lay there.  And stare at the ceiling. When I do go to sleep, it’s only for a couple of hours.  This makes for a very tired, lethargic, grouchy, ME. So, if  I am so tired – why am I only sleeping a couple of hours you ask.  I’ll tell ya.  Boo-dreams.  Yep.  I been havin’ some hella nightmares lately.  What’s up with that?  I think I need to invest in one of those “Translate your Dreams” books.   Now I…

I definitely need to find some kind of class on controlling my new camera and lenses.  I did get a couple of good shots, but only a COUPLE.  The rest were just plain ole “meh”.  Anyway, here’s some tests… (Gumply) (Sweetz)   This (above), I don’t understand why the color on everything in the shot is great…except her eyes.  Both of my kids have gorgeous bright blue eyes.  Why are they so dark in these shots?   For comparison on my skills with the new camera… here are two shots…

2 cans (16oz) Sweet Potatoes in Heavy Syrup 1/2 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed) 2 tbsp butter 1/2 tsp orange rind 1/4 tsp grated cinnamon Drain potatoes and reserve at least 1/4 cup of the syrup. In deep skillet – mix brown sugar, butter, rind, cinnamon, and syrup.  Heat to boil.  Reduce heat and simmer until thickened (shouldn’t take more than a minute).   Dump in the sweet potatoes and cook until heated through, stirring and tossing constantly to get the potatoes coated in the glaze.

With all the chatter about my new camera, P365, Noonsies, and gear in general – I thought I’d post a “What’s in my bag” post. I have 2 camera bags, and a purse.  I need ONE BIG bag, but for now this works. LOL Here’s the specifics of what is in my bag. POINT N SHOOT My quick “go to” camera is my Canon G9.

Every year I set out to take part in the Project 365 Photography Challenge.   Every year I fail, and so I think, ok – how about Project 52?  And then… I forget all about it.  Not this year.  This year I thought I would create a little challenge of my own, a motivator to help me get through the other Challenges! After talking to a few friends on facebook who have the same problem as me, I came up with Noonsies! What’s Noonsies? Everyday at NOON, snap a photo. It’s…

Another year has come and gone!  What do  you think about that?!  I certainly feel a year older today! lol!!! Last year I set quite a few “wishful thinking” goals for myself, and gave up on most of them before February ever even hit.  Not this year.  THIS YEAR, I will do this!  I resolve to have some resolve. Dammit. whoot!  =D Seriously, I’m getting older and who knows how many more chances I’ll have to make some resolutions and either accomplish or fail at them?  So this year, I’m…

Do you plan your weeks cooking ahead of time?  I do.  On Sunday morning I sit down in my office and I plan out what we are going to eat all week. Meal planning for me, really, is pretty easy.  My Mr. works a weird shift at work that rotates so he is only home for dinner a few nights per week.  Those nights I try to cook a NICE meal with the trimmings.  I mean, he works hard and he deserves it. On the nights Mr. C isn’t home,…
