Another attempt at pie… another mess of gooey goodness!  This time I tried a peach pie because I had some frozen peaches that I needed to use.  Plus I still had one of those deep dish pie crusts on hand.
I checked out All Recipes to see what they had to offer.  If you haven’t been […]

I’m teaching myself to knit right now.  It is definitely slow going.  I found this today and couldn’t wait until Friday to pass it along:
Knitted puppets at Branchhome.com!
So cute! Now I have to teach myself to switch colors while knitting.  I’m currently making a sweater that will fit no one, but it’s all one solid […]

dooce – this woman is hilarious. A former Mormon (smart girl), […]

This list represents my favorites, and is not meant to be a cultural critique of the film genre.  There’s tons of stuff I haven’t seen — I mean, I finally saw 2001: A Space Odyssey just last week.  Although numbered, they are in no particular order.

Full Metal […]
