Cooking
Normally, it's about the food. Food blog, after all. But this time, the food is more a means to an end.
So, I don't have much to say about the goat cheese pasta, or that fact we used a novelty, heart-shaped, pasta in the recipe.
Instead, I took these pictures to show off the gorgeous baking dish. Made by my sister-in-law, Terri.
That she made. By hand.
Isn't it fabulous?
The girl knows her way around a kiln, doesn't she?
This was a Christmas gift, along with some lovely appetizer-sized plates in the same color/glaze.
Beautiful. More amazing, it's a hobby. Not her job.
I don't know about you, but I'm impressed...
This month, Blog Party's all about the ultimate hand-held food & having a Pizza Party!
Top your pies...full-sized and sliced, or in miniature form...any way you want, pour yourself a drink, and join the party. You have till Thursday, 20 March to RSVP...hope to see you there!

- This Many
Alex turned five Friday, and had his party Sunday. It was superhero-themed, and we held it at the Children's Museum. There was food and cake, and after presents, the kids were free to explore the museum, which is very hands-on. A two-story doll house...
- For The Kid In You
A few of Matt's friends came over last weekend for a night of gaming. Yes, gaming. Not poker or video games, but good old-fashioned role playing games. They're a really nice group of guys, but I often tease them that they're still 12 at...
- Easy Is Good
I'd had Mark Bittman's Quick & Easy Recipes from The New York Times on my Amazon wish list for some time, and finally bought it a couple of weeks ago (it nicely padded out an order to get free shipping...yay Amazon!). During the summer, I got...
- Anniversary Cake
I saw my wish-list mom, Ina Garten, make this cake to celebrate her & Jeffrey's wedding anniversary. It's nothing at all like our wedding cake, but six years later, change can be good. Six years. In Hollywood, that's a lifetime. Nice &...
