2nd Annual is in the works...

So, the boys and I are planning ahead for the 2nd annual Christiana Blacksmithing Extravaganza. GOOD TIMES TO BE HAD BY ALL!!! I'm excited already folks.

Tofurkey? No-furkey!

So when I had tons of work to do to get ready for this week and had put it off all weekend, it came down to yesterday, and what did I do? I made a GD tukey dinner, that's what! Sensible? NO! delecatable? Yes! Thanks ole bird, your flesh hit the spot.

In case anyone is getting the idea that my life revolves around food, I do a few other things besides cook and eat. Today I managed to start a glass club at my high school. There was no glass option, and one of my students was talking to me about glass and asked if i had ever worked with it. I said yes, and agreed to start a glass program here if we could work it out. So basically, I worked it out and the ball is up and rolling as of today. Glass club comin' at ya. I'm hella stoked about it, both for me to make some cool shiz and for my students to rock it out too. Recycled is the fare of the day:free, fun and fantastic. It's a win-win. I can support my ecological ambitions while empowering children with a new media for expression. It's a double feel good at the end of the day.

Poppy seeds were on sale...

Well, they were on sale, so what was I supposed to do? I bought a lemon and made these strawberry filled lemon poppyseed muffins. They were pretty good, but they paled in comparison to the chocolate cornbread pudding with bourbon sauce that I made. That shiz was the bombmmmmmmmmmm!!! Hope you'ins had a great easter. I do love me some ham! My Tuli and my father and I went for a walk after dinner(at Tulia's request), it was nice to take her down to throw stones into the same crick that I did as a boy. She also got to pet lightning(a local equinian friend). The ole neighborhood has changed so much, so few trees, so many homes. Progress? What;s the better answer? Who knows, but it all seems so sad doesn't it? And I'm so damn negative about this whole topic sometimes. WTF?!

A lil' ole' spinach pie

So, I guess I couldn't stay away. Anyway no promises on frequency, but I'll post when i feel like it. It'll mostly be things that won't get me fired. This pic is a spinach,sausage and mozzarela pie that I made with Tuli the other day. Not too pretty, but dang did it taste good. I missed all of you.
