Sweet Adeleine

About a week ago, I wrote a post containing a description of the presents I received for my birthday. Among them was a tablet that lets me draw on the computer much easier. For an example, here is my handwriting using a mouse versus using the tablet pen. As you can see, I find it much easier to write with the tablet, and my handwriting is pretty atrocious with the mouse. When I described this tablet, I also said that I could copy peoples handwriting. So today I want to show you this as well. For this, what I did was I had each of my

It's been a while since I have put a recipe here for you guys. I have been super busy with all sorts of stuff, and am going to be busy still next week with the first exams of the year (for me).   :'(   I do not really look forward the studying and exams taking, but if I get an A then I get a prize, so there is that. However, today I have a new yet simple recipe to share with you. This is yet another Alton Brown recipe, and this time, I think I'll let him explain it. Click the image to enlarge. The reason I am going to let the words of Alton's book guide you in this recipe is because: 1 . it is a short recipe, and I would be copying most of what he said anyways and 2 . it contains vital

As most of you probably know, my birthday was last week. We had to rearrange the celebration a little for certain activities that could not be re-planned, but everything still went very well, and I had a lot of fun. For my birthday, I got three gifts. The first was a red tablet case from Braden for my Kindle Fire tablet. This will help if I ever drop it, since before, I had no case and could have easily cracked it with just a small fall. Here are a few pics of the tablet with its case. Click the image to enlarge. The second gift was a white shirt from August. For this gift, August said I could pick a

I don't have a recipe for you this week, sorry! :( I've stayed really busy with school and other big projects going, so I have not had a chance to photo-record any new recipes for you. Instead, I have a thought provoking type post for you. I have copied a blog post written by Paul Asay from the  pluggedin.focusonthefamily  blog site. The original article is just below, and then there will be a short summary of my thoughts on the subject. Hope you enjoy!             Last week I ruminated on the joys of  unplugging  for a bit. But truth is, it didn’t take me long to reconnect.

So, today our church took our annual trip to the zoo. Rather than simply post pictures of people and animals, I thought I would share a poem specifically about birds and use pictures I took from the zoo. Make sure to click the images to enlarge them.

Back to the Alton recipes for a minute, we have another cold weather recipe. In his introduction for the recipe, Alton states "Pozole can be prepared exactly 6,483 different ways," but this is his personal favorite.

Everyone on the East coast of the United States has been watching with apprehension as Hurricane Matthew moves steadily toward the eastern seaboard. I thought, to stay on the hurricane topic, that I would share a post on how hurricanes get their name. I did not know how hurricanes were named before I did some searching, and the results were very interesting to me. The following article is from the Weather Channel website; you can find the original post here: https://weather.com/safety/hurricane/news/hurricanes-named-20120330 What's in a name? Naming of tropical storms and hurricanes has been going on for

As the leaves start to fall, and the weather starts to turn colder, we start to pick recipes that are warm and filling to fight the cold. This is a perfect cold-weather recipe. Besides this recipe being a nice hot meal, it is also very easy to fix, and not really expensive. Here are the ingredients.

So, a few days ago I was wrestling with one of my dogs, Argos. He loves to play tug-of-war with a knotted rope, so I decided to indulge him for a few minutes before heading back to school. After a few minutes, I was going to leave him and head back, but then I noticed August was not up and about yet. He goes to work at 8:30, but he had not gotten moving yet. Thus, I transferred dog-duty to August by running into his room and tossing the rope on August's back. (He was lying on his bed.) Following his toy, Argos came charging into the room and started sniffing around August's bed. He knows he is not allowed on it, but his toy is up there! So, he joined August for a little nap. Soon, the rope is forgotten and Argos finds a comfortable spot to settle down in. When August
