My worst test score ever

Hmmm, I guess it's a good thing I didn't live in the 1930s because apparently I would have been a pretty crummy spouse.

18 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure) Take the test!

Go Bill and Star!

Have you been watching Greatest American Dog on CBS? We don't watch a lot of reality shows, but we're making an exception for this one because two of the contestants, Bill and Star, are local. When Daisy was in obedience school*, Bill and Star came out and gave a demo of all the things it was possible to teach a dog. Star seems a little out of her element on the show so far, but when we saw her in person she was fabulous. So go watch some tv and cheer Star on!



*Despite what Spork says, Daisy did graduate from obedience school. She even took home 2 major awards.

The food police are going to arrest me

I've committed some serious violations in the last few days. First, I baked these cinnamon rolls for a birthday breakfast over the weekend. Fortunately, someone else kept the leftovers so I didn't have to eat them. Though before they were claimed, I did wonder what cinnamon roll bread pudding would taste like.





Last night, in what can only be described as a felony offense, I made Pioneer Woman's husband's favorite sandwich and as a side dish... Weeeelll, you want to take a guess? You're right! Those are deep fried green beans! Because there was fried food involved, Spork even donned an apron and fried the beans while I made the sammiches.



And for the record, the deep fried green bean is a good thing!

In an unrelated topic, here is a gratuitous picture of my girl, Daisy. Her life is hard.

Breaking free from the cooking rut

I've been stuck in a rut with cooking lately. Sure, I've made some desserts (the cobbler chronicles) and baked a few things, but our main meals have been same-old, same-old. Bo-ring! So tonight I channeled my inner Emeril and kicked it up a notch. I went with an Indian theme and made Rogan Josh served over rice with peas and cumin, topped with a tomato relish. Yum!

I forgot to take a picture, but stew-type foods are not the most photogenic anyway. But trust me (trussst in me!), it was really good and it took about an hour for my mouth to quit burning. Good times!

I haven't decided yet, but my next cooking adventure will be either Thai or Lebanese cuisine. And hopefully I will remember to take a picture.
