Mysteriously Good Together: Sweet Potato & Black Beans
Wednesday night I ended up working late so my handy husband cooked up Navajo Stew (Adaption of Moosewood Recipe) from another favorite blog, Albion Cooks.

Ode to Freecycle
Ode to Freecycle

Web Site of the Week - Beatboxin’ Pooch
A friendly pirate told me about this awesome site. I’m having so much fun playing with this guy. Since it’s not in English, here’s what I’ve figured out so far: press start, let the beat start, then start making him beatbox to your command using the a-s-d-f-g-h, etc. keys. Looks like you can record your […]

We left Dulles on Wednesday, 2/13/08 and didn’t get to San Diego until about 12am West Coast time because our fight was delayed due to the icy conditions. When we […]
