5 Things You Didn’t Know About Me….


Beautiful Mae from Rice and Noodles tagged me on this meme. 1. Knitting isn’t just for little old ladies - I can knit. Its therapeutic for me - something very soothing in the clickity-clack rhythm of stitches and feel of smooth, warming bamboo knitting sticks. I love making things by hand, creating heirlooms that will be passed down from generation to generation. Its also kind of like legacy insurance. Just in case I flop in everything else, “at least that crazy Grandma Jaden left a nice sweater for you!” (i bribed him with cookies to smile like he really likes his new sweater)

2. After having 2 kids only 16 months apart, I sorta lost a bunch of brain cells. So, I bought a bottle of Focus Factor, which according to the infomercials, is supposed to help with your memory loss. Two months later, no change. Apparently, the makers of Focus Factor didn’t take into account that people with memory loss might not remember to take the stupid pills every day. I wasted $30.

3. I thought I was so cool in the 80’s. That spiky hair full of AquaNet, dorky sunglasses, Madonna bracelets, lace socks, frosted pink lipstick, even pegged pants. Don’t laugh. You know you have the same picture hiding in the back of your closet.

4. My husband and I: got married went on honeymoon sold a house bought a house moved cross country started a business got pregnant all in a period of 2 months. wtf were we thinking?!! oh yeah, we weren’t….

5. I dip my McDonalds french fries in soft serve ice cream. I tag some of my new friends: Passionate Eater Ady from Diario di una passione Rasa Malaysia Amy from Nook & Pantry Guy J Piegirl

Crispy Crepes with Apple, Brie and Prosciutto

Thanksgiving is always about the dinner, and it seems as though every food story and recipe out there features the turkey, side dishes or dessert for the main meal. So, I thought I'd do something a little different and present you with a "morning after" meal, otherwise known as "not-turkey."...
