My awesome husband made us lunch today. He used boars head roast beef, delicious white cheddar, and fresh asiago rolls from the farmer's market which we raided for all sorts of awesomeness. It was a great lunch.

I am going to make terrariums with these glass jars! I found them at a garage sale for only $1.50 total and was really excited because they were on my list for things to look for at garage sales. This is just the look I wanted! I want to try and get/make some little mushrooms, animals, and/or houses to put in them too. My own little worlds. :) I've always had a fascination with miniature worlds. That reminds me of this project I did in art class once. We had to come up with a product and design an ad for it. Mine was Storm in a Jar! Inside a jar was a field, some trees, a small house, and a little storm. Dark clouds, lightening, rain, wind. I would LOVE to have a Storm in a Jar!
And speaking of storms, it has been raining here FOREVER now. I think it started last Sunday and hasn't stopped once. Don't get me wrong, I love rain, but it's been making taking pictures for eBay really difficult AND it's been cold! I HATE cold. It's summer!! I want to be warm! Too warm, if possible. Also, I have a terrible headache. I've actually been doing really well with NOT having headaches lately. In fact, Brock just commented on it the other day. But then I woke up with this one and didn't even want to open my eyes. I tried taking some things for it, but it's not working. I might go lay down with my eyes closed for a bit. I have laundry to fold and put away and dishes to do today! Go away headache! |

| Flower’s Kiss Candy |
[Jul. 3rd, 2009|08:41 am] |
This Flower’s Kiss Candy really has to be seen in person to be appreciated. Because the flower designs on the candy are pretty, lovely, charming, and a bunch of other girly adjectives you can name.
Several more photos here.

| Pastitsio! |
[Jul. 2nd, 2009|10:19 pm] |
Pastitsio happens to be my oldest sister's favourite meal - with good reason: it's delicious! It's a Greek layered pasta dish made with meat sauce and Bechamel.The spicing of the meat distinguishes it from an Italian-style meat sauce and compliments the Bechamel.
This recipe is from an old Martha Stewart Living magazine - 2001, to be exact. It calls for ground lamb, which is so yummy if you can afford it, but if you can't, ground beef or turkey would do the trick - even veggie ground round might do it!
The recipe is found here, or you can read below; I've modified it only slightly, as I tend to like more spices than recipes tend to call for.

My beautiful birthday flowers, about five days ago!
My beautiful birthday flowers today. They are starting to droop a little. :(
I love these colors, by the way. And I love having fresh flowers around! I wish I could buy a new bouquet
every time the one before it died and always have fresh flowers. They do wonders for my mood. |

I have to find a recipe because it tasted so, so good.
