Glee!

I REALLY like the show Glee! Love the singing & dancing. The story lines often annoy me, unless it's Sue Sylvester and she just cracks me up. I find the best songs are the ones by the less popular characters. Like this Artie flash mob mall scene! It's my favorite! Right next to Britany S. Pears doing Britney Spears! WHOO WHEE!

The Kitchen is Painted! The U.G.L.Y. wallpaper boarder is finally down! 2 years, 1 marriage & a husband later the kitchen is getting a make-over. So far we have new counter tops, sink & faucet, stove & refrigerator. This week we will put up a back splash, hang some shelves & decide what we are going to do with the cabinets. I love the idea of open shelving, but I've heard it's hard to keep the dishes clean from dust and grime. But maybe some pretty glass door on the cabinets would look nice? Maybe a combo? The kitchen is so tiny, so we really can only do so much to it. But anything is better than what it was! We spent a good portion of Sunday in Ikea. That place sucks you in and dulls your budget senses. We went to get some dvd storage shelves and ended up with a entertainment center, dvd shelves, desk, chair & vase. But as we were going to check out I realized that we really didn't need all this stuff, so we left. This was over heard prior to check out:

I am so excited to be the one to have picked this recipe for the week! I started baking with Tuesdays with Dorie two years ago around this time. At that time, it looked like it might be around 4 years before i picked a recipe. So to find out that it was my turn, I was ecstatic! I've had so much fun baking with all the great people who participate with TWD and have enjoyed making blogging buddies all over the country... and world! This weeks recipe was actually partially picked by my Hubby. There are not that many recipes left! Can you believe that soon we will have made EVERYTHING in the book? But the Cranberry Upside-Downer was an easy pick, especially for this time of year. I was able to find frozen cranberries, although I almost couldn't find them and almost went with cherries. This one was very easy to make, the only thing i worried about was flipping the cake. But alas everything turned out beautifully!! I love the color, the scent and look of this cake once flipped. We di

Go Make This!

(Food & Wine) We made a ton of corn on the cob today and had a few ears left over. The funny thing about corn on the cob in our house is Hubby doesn't like to eat it off the cob. Maybe I'm enabling him, or maybe it's love? Either way I found this handy dandy corn cutter from Pampered Chef and VIOLA! we both can enjoy our corn now. Now back to the left over ears of corn. I was paging through the September issue of Food & Wine and saw this terrific recipe of Raw Corn & Radish Salad with Spicy Lime Dressing . I had to make it! The only thing I didn't have on had was radishes. One bite and i was hooked. It took me about 10 minutes to make it and seconds to devour it. If you have left over corn... this is the way to get rid of it! Check out the recipe HERE .
