Funky, Punky, and Plump

I know I've had radio silence for a couple months now but there really hasn't been all that much blog-worthy to report.  Well, I *have* been cooking up a storm, as usual, but I am horrible about remembering to take pictures of my food before I start eating and I'm pretty sure you don't want to see pictures of the aftermath that is my plate. A friend of mine asked me recently why I don't post all of my recipes online and I didn't really have a good answer.  So I went through my binder of keeper recipes and added them all to my Recipage.  These are all recipes that I have made in the past year that are good enough to make again and again.  Some of them get made quite often and others are ones I know I want to make again. Want to see what I added?  Just click on the Recipage button over in the side bar and have fun browsing!  Or, you can click here: My Recipage .  There are currently 115+ recipes over there and I will update it periodicially. To kin...

How has your new year been treating you?  Mine has been pretty good so far, though not a super lot has been going on... which has been nice.  Here are a few pics from the last couple of weeks. :) I spent some of my Christmas gift money at the restaurant supply store and replaced a few kitchen basics.  I got 2 new saute pans (and threw away the warped, flaky non-stick ones), 2 half-sheet baking sheets, 1 full-size one for home ovens, 2 baking racks, a dough cutter, a high-heat temp rubber spatula, another set of measuring spoons, and some butter knives.  I have no idea why but my silverware at home is disappearing so I've been adding to our existing set with inexpensive ones from the restaurant supply store.      I've doodled at work a bit while waiting for reports to run and during lunch. :)  You can tell in the t-shirt doodle that my new markers from Secret Santa are starting to dry up.  Oops! :P The guys and I decided ...

Ever have one of those days (or weeks) when you are feeling social but not really talkative?  That's kind of how I feel today.  I am craving being around people but my brain really just wants to sit back and observe.  Friends are coming over Sunday to play Cards Against Humanity , though, so that works.  :) So rather than being wordy like I usually am, here are some random pictures varying from tonight to almost 30 years ago. :)  I don't *think* any of these have been posted here before but, if they have, here they are again.  LOL Of course, food. :)  For dinner tonight, I made Mini Cheese Burger Meatballs and Herbed Oven Fries with broccoli.  Oh!  Did you notice that I have a Recipage now?  It's true!  There's a widget gadget thingy over to the right. :) A friend's '66 Mustang Taken from the passenger side of the one and only time I got to go for a ride in said Mustang :) T-shirt I designed for an ex-boyrfrien...
