Best Hubby

I love my husband.  Got home yesterday from the shop and he'd done cleaned the house and moved the living room into summer mode.  It's early, sure, but we're ready for the living room to be open again.

We have two modes, summer and winter.  For the winter mode, we have a snuggly couch corner and for summer mode, we have the space open and free flowing.  Got home yesterday and the place looked great.  And I have three days off with Tim.  Woohoo.

The only bummer to the weekend is that our bookshop is closing.  Most of those workers have been there forever and I'm sorry they're losing their jobs.  It's also got a great cafe and Tim does a good deal of writing there, while I read jogging magazines and flip through cookery books.  I love, love, love, metric cooking and only buy metric cookbooks.  Borders offered a wide selection of those - and for bargain bin prices.

I'll miss that.

Just finished yoga and mediation, now it's time to hit Texas Roadhouse for some steaks, honey butter rolls, and the best house salad this side of the snow belt.  Total cost for two with tip: 25 smackers.  Love that.

You all have a yummy weekend.  And if you missed it, the Wonder Woman Quiz 8 results are posted.  Great job guys.  Safety pins and gum drops for everyone.

You guys rock.

Wonder Woman Quiz 8

To win a chicken leg, three safety pins and all the gum drops in the world, tell us what this little piggy has to do with Wonder Woman?

Good luck and I'll see you back here sometime tomorrow, in comments.

This One Goes to Eleven

Check out my new reading light. It's a portable quilter's light used to match fabrics.  I bought this bad boy for 9 bucks instead of 20 - and I love it.

I'm home today and chores need done.  Might even get to draft 3 and 4 of my mocha pizzelle formula.  Meanwhile, check out the monster print I found in our front yard yesterday morning before going to the shop.

Have a yummy day.

Calling All Gamers

Grab your dice and hire some henchmen, you're gonna need 'em. Tim released Knowledge Illuminates and I'm super duper proud of him. So buckle up that helmet, sharpen that sword, and bring an extra pair of iron spikes -- this adventure is for the big boys.

Meanwhile, we're celebrating tonight with hot ham and cheese subs made on homemade bread and my special sub dressing. 

Life is good.  Until next time, eat well.

Little Vader

Playtime in the kitchen is about over.  All that's left to do is dust my mocha pizzelles with icing sugar, take a few pictures and then close the lab for the day.

Meanwhile, here's the FULL version of Little Vader in my favorite Super Bowl commercial.  Enjoy and until next time, eat well.

Movie Pop Quiz 1

For 2000xp and all the ogre maggot lollipops you can eat, name this movie and the lead actor. 

Good luck and Happy Eating.

Clean Sheet Day

Done finished my chores and our house is clean for the weekend. Woohoo. Just have to adjust the seasonings on my homemade onion dip and then it's bedtime for me. 

Meanwhile, check out all the chickens Ethel can hold. That's four whole chickens (on half a shelf). And I can fit four more chickens on that same shelf. 

Now that's a good fridge.

Guess where I live?
