Sweet Adeleine

Last September I made a post on a new crosstitching design I had received and started working on. Here is a picture to help you remember: At that time I was working on the crosstitch only once every week or so.  This summer, however, I had more time free and I started to work on this cute boxer a few times a week. I have finished the black, gray, blue (I know, weird that there is blue in a dog design), and

I have a second broiler recipe from Alton Brown today. This recipe, he says in the book, was developed by him in college with some "borrowed" ingredients from the pizza place where he worked.

However, you can decide how you

I made a post at the beginning of summer showing you a poster I was working on. I stated in the post that at the end of summer I would share a picture of the finished poster. Well, school starts (for me) in two weeks. I realize it is not the end of summer yet, then, and also that I have not finished the poster. However, I thought I would give you a sneak peak of what has been accomplished so far. Enjoy! Click the image to enlarge. Click the image to enlarge. The bottom of the neck and a third portion of mane. Click the image to enlarge.  I hope you can tell from the photos, but if you can't, I am getting close to the end of the poster. I have a chunk of the mane to fill in at the bottom, then I have to decide whether to fill in the background or leave it white. So, there is a sneak peek of the poster I have worked on little by little all summer. I'll show you it again in two weeks!

Continuing in my study of the Alton Brown cooking guide, I entered the section of roasting. Thus, today's recipe is a roasting recipe, which means some time is required to make it. Sorry about the flash; it was hard to get a good pic. Click the image to enlarge. This recipe requires time of maybe two hours the first day, then sits overnight to be eaten the next day. Here are the ingredients required for the slaw:

Considering it has been almost half a year since the last Minecraft post, I thought it was time for another one. Click the image to enlarge. The first update is that I found a new skin for my character that matches building castles perfectly. It is pictured above, and is a knight in armour. Now, to help jog your memories of

I have another of Alton Brown's recipes for you today, with an odd name to accompany it. Click image to enlarge. This interesting-sounding recipe was in the grilling/broiler section of the Alton Brown cooking guide from which I am learning. The entire process of the recipe takes two days, since

I know I have been putting a lot of recipes on my blog lately. So, to stick with the theme, I thought I would put a Cooking quiz link for you to test your knowledge of cooking. Some of the terms I did not know, and thus guessed on two or three questions. However, when I finished the quiz, it said I had all 16 of 16 right! So, if you want to take the test, here is the link. http://www.allthetests.com/quiz31/quiz/1421158370/Cooking-terms  Try it out, and when you are done, feel free to share the results with me on Facebook or in the comment section of the blog. Good luck!

Today, I can tell you how to make the 5 ingredient pie, and also the three ingredient pie crust. For the pie:
