Kitchen is up and running

I'm gonna be spending alot more time writing/gabbing over at my kitchen blog - feed is in the upper left hand corner under "Put Your Apron On" talking about my adventures in the kitchen.  I love experiencing recipes.  Its more than cooking, its learning, teaching, creating... and I want to share that - give others the same opportunities. 

So stop by - leave some thoughts, try some out.

I love you guys.  Only 8 months until I'm Mrs. Damon Gregg :)

its a little late i know.

Its been quite a while, how about MONTHS since i have updated this thing. so many wonderful, exciting and rewarding things have taken place since we last spoke, well only 2.

1.) The biggest EVER! I'm engaged.  Yep you heard it straight from me, if you havent already heard it from someone else.  Its quite possible you know. We haven't totally settled on a date yet, but we are really looking at April 30, 2011.

So now its time to plan, plan, plan, plan and plan some more.  Hopefully with the help of the the bridal ladies and my mom it shouldnt be too hard of a task.

2.) I've gotten more responsibilites at work, so I'm much busier than I used to be.

Other than that, I'm still just chugging along.   I havent been cooking quite as much as i used too.  I got slight pnemonia with bronchitis in February so I was done and out for quite awhile.  And since then I havent really been in the mood to cook.  But I need to get back into the swing of baking.  So many yummy desserts just begging for me to try.

My MOH brought Damon and I some cake balls the other night that she makes for her side business. OMG!! Like super delicious and I could eat and eat and eat these things.  I'm gonna have to starve myself or start exercising (possibly both) so I can get back to a nice weight for the wedding.

Til next time, which hopefully is shorter than longer,

quickie update

Put Your Apron On


The old post, ignore it.  this one is correct

I35 South to Elm Mott. Can't miss it!

Damon and I went with Paula and Carlos Saturday down to Elm Mott Texas where they have the Homestead Thanksgiving Fair.  I had been in the past to the Sourgham fair, but not to the Thanksgiving fair.  It was soo interesting to see how people can still sustain a farm lifestyle by using the "old school" technologies.  From candles to cheese, people could experience how they did everything their way, plus the food was FANTASTIC!

I'm so glad Thanksgiving is done, bc now we are in full tilt Christmas mode, which I LOVE!  I think I could live in Christmas times all year round and not be sad about it.  The tree is up, well it has been for about 3 weeks now, decor is out, gifts are wrapped and Christmas music is playing.  I love CHRISTmas!

something old.

man i love her store!

I have determined old things go nicely in the apartment.  I hope Damon doesn't mind it tooo much.  I know I'm an old soul stuck in a 25 y/o body.  Oh well.  Could be worse.

Thanksgiving is NEXT week!!!! EGADS!  I have soooo much to do before today and then.  Cook, cook, sleep, cook, and cook some more.  Hopefully I make it through. 

 And then my first Black Friday experience is this year.  I sure hope its worth all the hype.
