Last post today, I swear!

Last Saturday I made my first loaf of bread! Not earth shattering, complicated, or even wheat, but still, my first attempt. The important thing is, it was good! Very encouraging. I did use some quick rise recipe, which involved the bread rising just for a couple of hours in its pan. Which was perfect as I had a lot of Fable to play and couldn't really take a lot of breaks just for some silly bread.

THIS IS THE ONLY CHRISTMAS PIC I HAVE

Ok now, fast forward a few months. Christmastime! Tara and I once again indulged in eggnog for about 3 days straight until Mama refused to get us more eggs. Well, I guess there is some debate as to whether it was really eggnog or not, as we like to add a banana into the mix and some people are in hot opposition (HATERZ) but whatevs. Anyway, we wanted to get creative with our last batch, and so what you see here is the fruit of our hard labor. Egg meringue nog! We whipped up egg whites and then folded the rest of the ingredients in after. Here it is pictured, floating on a brandy shot. YUM! James declined a full serving, Memo was polite and drank some and Mama proclaimed it was the most disgusting idea ever. Way to kill our creativity, Mama! This reminds me of the horse drawing all over again.

That's what I call a sandwich

Oh boy, it's been a while, huh? Well, I've been caching up some food EXCITEMENT so prepare to be EXCITED! Last summer (I know, I know, almost a year ago) James and I finally made it to Kenny & Zuke's, a sandwich place we had been hearing about for ever. This is James holding the Mushugeletta, or something crazy like that. It basically involves every kind of meat in copious amounts.
I had a delicious something or other, I don't remember what. I was too amused watching James try and fit that
bad boy in his mouth. HA!
