Baby vs. Chocolate Chip Cookie

Or reason #103 why my parents need to come out and visit Max and Mae.

Just Popped Up!

The Dining Room

So I decided that I needed to finally take down the wall paper. Yes, I know that many of you have expressed your like of it, but I HATED it!


So not my taste. After a year of looking at it I decided to take it down. Now being me, I decided to have it coincide with book group at my house cause I am stupid and glutton for punishment and misery. So with the help of babysitters and long nights here is the result. I like it better already. I am thinking of painting it a bluish green color eventually. But I am just so happy the paper is gone for now.

Baby in a Basket

She's not much to look at

So I was in the mood to bake yesterday. Decided to make some Apple Blackberry pies for some very deserving ladies. For my birthday my mother bought me a well "pattern" for decorative crusts.

after
yeah, this was actually my second time attempting to use this thing and this was the better of the two results.

So after some patch work

I threw it in the oven and it didn't look too shabby in my opinion.

Okay maybe a bit shabby but hey, free pie, so who can really complain. The real victim was my kitchen.

Hey, Good Looking!

Because of a combination of good coupons good sales and a bit of mild curiosity I bought the jeans diapers for Mae. I gotta say they are fun. They even look better under darker clothes then the normal diapers. This could be a really good line of thinking for them. They also work well for Mae since her fat thighs are too big for jeans.

So this is my first recipe post. I found this in Cooking Light Jan 2010 issue and have made it many many time. So good it needs to be shared. For those who have eaten my food, know this, this dish is the best I have made in a long time. This has shot up the charts to one of my classics. So it is worth the try.
