What's new?

Yesterday I bought something new...


I am really excited about this.  I bought a scanner, printer, copier and photo printer.  I played with it at the store and it seemed very user friendly.  I definately need something that is easy to set-up and start using.  I think this really opens up a huge spectrum of things I can post.  I can scan my sketches and pictures that I don't have electronically.  Hopefully, I will have time to hook it up this weekend.

While I was at Office Max, I had to look at the organizing goodies.  I also picked these up.


I promptly decided I must label something....


I love these labels.  Watch out pantry.  I will label and date everything!

I have decided to try and get in shape, slowly.  I really have not had a good work-out since August.  We had such a confined living situation while building the house, it was a constant life of picking-up fast food, going to look a the progress on the house, going back to our living quarters and going to bed, then doing the whole thing again day after day.  I feel pretty frumpy and out of shape.  Yesterday I tried to run (it lasted for about 30 seconds) and I tried to do a push-up (I decided to do a couple of plank poses instead) but I could not push back up.  Anyway, this is what we had for dinner...


I thought this looked really healthy.  It is a turkey burger grilled on the ole George Forman, steamed brussel sprouts and baked wedge potatoes with olive oil and rosemary.

I also made dessert.  I have the Alicia Silverstone cookbook, The Kind Diet.






Here is my creation...


I used Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder, Earth Balance Butter, unsweetened almond milk and agave to make the chocolate ganache topping.  This is a variation from the recipe in the book, but these are the ingredients I had in the kitchen.  My husband and I think these are quite yummy.  I would highly suggest you make these if you like peanut butter cups.

Also, my copy of Traditional Home just arrived today.  All of my subscriptions are a bit delayed due to the address change.  I have this waiting on my bedside table to look at before bed tonight.



By the way, GO C-A-T-S!!!!!  Those Kentucky Wildcats are playing right now and I hope they win!

Chao for now!
