adios (and a few menu ideas)
Pardon my absence for a little while. Dan and I are heading down to Florida to spend some time with our family. On the agenda: catching up with the parents, reading the paper by the pool, eating oysters on my birthday, a day trip to South Beach, playing with the dogs, and consuming obscene amounts of my Nanny's cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving. (Recipe to come.)
Speaking of which, looking for dishes to supplement that turkey or ham? Here's a few ideas from the archives:
Curried deviled eggs
Sausage rolls
Spiced cashews
Sweet and spicy peanuts
Sweet potato pancakes
Sparkling ginger cocktail
Big apple cocktail
Fall sangria
Braised red cabbage with apples and caraway seeds
Orzo with cinnamon brown butter and parsley
Roasted beets with horseradish and fried capers
Roasted acorn squash with maple syrup and nutmeg
Twice-baked potatoes
Pear crisp with vanilla brown butter
Pumpkin custard
Happy Thanksgiving!

snacks for thanksgiving (or any time)
Can you believe it's almost Thanksgiving? I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but I don't even know what I'm making yet.
I volunteered to contribute a vegetable (maybe roasted brussels sprouts? or butternut squash?), a dessert (possibly a flourless chocolate cake, or roasted pears, or maybe a ricotta cheesecake?) and an appetizer (um..??). Luckily my mother-in-law is in charge of the turkey and my mom is picking up the rest of the slack. Thanks, Mom(s).
Over the past few years, I've always made some sort of hors d'ouevres for Thanksgiving. Nothing fancy—deviled eggs, blue cheese dip with celery sticks, or even guacamole and chips (hey, my family lives in Florida). Most people just want something to nibble on before the main event, so you really only need to serve one thing. A bowl of nuts is lovely. Or a platter of cheeses. Or some olives. Really, anything bite-sized that hungry people can grab as they hover in the kitchen, sticking their fingers in all the pots. An even better idea: place the snacks in another room to keep everyone out your hair and the stuffing.
Here's a few snacks I've made for recent dinner parties that I may revisit on Thanksgiving. What are you all serving?
Bacon-wrapped dates with parmesan
This recipe (available from many places, including Gourmet) has gotten me through many a dinner party. Smoky, salty, and sweet, these dates (shown above) are kind of the best thing you'll ever put in your mouth. If you serve them, dinner will be a success, even if you burn everything else.
(Serves about 6 people)
18 (1- by 1/4-inch) sticks Parmigiano-Reggiano (from a 1/2-lb piece)
18 pitted dates
6 bacon slices, cut crosswise into thirds (I tried this with regular and turkey bacon, and both work, although I prefer the pork)
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Stuff 1 piece of cheese into each date, then wrap 1 piece of bacon around each date, securing it with a pick, or placing the dates with the bacon fold side down. Arrange the dates 1 inch apart in a shallow baking pan. Bake 5 minutes, then turn dates over with tongs and bake until bacon is crisp, 5 to 6 minutes more. Drain on a paper towel. Serve immediately.Lamb meatballs
I've had this recipe by Melissa Clark bookmarked for awhile and my quasi-Mediterranean dinner for Megan seemed like the perfect time to try it out. These are not your average meatballs: the cinnamon, parsley, and mint add brightness and an extra depth of flavor. One change: grate the onion instead of mincing it. Bits of raw onion do no one any favors.
As you'll see below, I made many tweaks to this recipe. In my ongoing quest to cut out gluten, I omitted the breadcrumbs and one egg. Although everyone liked the end result very much, if you can eat bread, I would recommend keeping the recipe as-is because it will make the meatballs more tender and juicy.
(Serves 4 to 6 people)
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb. ground lamb
1/2 cup minced onion (I recommend grating it)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs (I omitted this)
2 eggs (I used one)
2 Tbsp. chopped mint
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped dill (I used parsley)
1 Tbsp. plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Preheat your broiler. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. In a large bowl, combine the lamb, onion, bread crumbs, eggs, mint, lemon juice, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of the dill (or parsley), 2 tsp. of garlic and 1 tsp. of salt; knead until combined. Form the mixture into 1 1/4-inch meatballs. Arrange the meatballs on the oiled baking sheet and broil as close to the heat as possible for 6 minutes, turning the pan halfway through, until firm and lightly browned.
Herbed yogurt sauce
This sauce is also great with grilled meat. You can also add a chopped cucumber to turn it into a slightly more substantial side dish.
(Serves 4 to 6 people)
8 oz. container Greek yogurt or plain whole milk yogurt
juice of 1 lemon
2 Tbsp. chopped parsley
1 Tbsp. chopped mint
1 clove garlic, minced
salt to taste
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Sweet potato pancakes
I love potato pancakes and was inspired to make them with sweet potatoes from a recent article in Mark Bittman's blog. The recipe was sort of loose and seemed deceptively simple, having only one ingredient: sweet potatoes. After scraping burned bits of sweet potato out of my frying pan, I can conclude it's just deceptive. So I regrouped, added two eggs, and produced a light and slightly sweet potato pancake that held together.
(Serves about 6 to 8 people)
2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, grated
2 eggs
2 tsp. nutmeg
1 Tbsp. salt, plus more
2 Tbsp. butter
Combine all ingredients except the butter in a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined. Heat a medium-sized frying pan to medium-high heat and add the butter. When it melts and starts to bubble, spoon 1/3 cup sized portions of the shredded potato mixture into the pan. Let the pancakes cook for about 3 minutes, then flatten with a spatula and flip, cooking about 3 more minutes on the other side, or until browned. When done, drain the pancakes on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately with 1/2 cup sour cream mixed with the juice and zest of one lime.

Sometimes, this dinner party thing...it's not so easy. Like when you've got three pots on the stove and it's an hour before six people arrive, and the lights in the living room keep flickering on and off and on and off. Until they go dead. You think about lighting 50 tea lights, but a dark, candlelit room might seem a bit creepy to everyone, especially those guests you don't really know all that well yet. So you drag out the stepstool and try to reach the overhead light, and curse all 5 foot 1 inches of yourself. Luckily, your helpful, slightly taller husband comes and switches out the dead light bulbs, just in time for you to rush back to the stove and rescue the potatoes from burning. That light fixture--it looks a little loose to you too, right? You start to imagine it crashing down on someone's head and the eventual lawsuit and the fact that you'd have to repay the injured party in meals. Lots of meals.
Deep breath.
And then your friends arrive, coming in from the cold, shrugging off their winter coats. Thoughtful people that they are, they're bearing wine, and homemade pumpkin ice cream, and (gluten-free!) chocolate cake, and a wedge of Humbolt Fog, your favorite cheese ever. And wine glasses are filled and passed around and thoughts of that damn wobbly light fixture start to fade. And dinner is fine. There's juicy chicken legs with crispy skin and no one cares that the potatoes are slightly burned. Everyone drinks a lot and has fun. Which is always good. So much so that they even offer to wash the dishes before they leave. Which is incredibly generous (thank you, Mark), but also a no-no. I mean...right? Absolutely not. So everyone heads home except for the last friend standing, and you linger until after midnight finishing up the wine and talking sleepily about the virtues of Mariah Carey until it is bedtime. And even though there is a scary amount of dirty dishes staring you down, you wash them smiling.
Sometimes it can seem like a marathon when you have people over, but there is always a pay-off in the end. The immediate pay-off of friendship rekindled or solidified, but sometimes thank-you notes the next day, and a copy of the New Yorker food issue waiting for you on your doorstop. Which motivates you to plan your next dinner party.
Hearty fall dinner for six
Bacon-wrapped dates
Sweet potato pancakes
Roasted chicken with potatoes and tomatoes
Braised red cabbage with apples and caraway seeds
Pumpkin ice cream
Chocolate cake with chocolate sauce
Braised red cabbage with apples and caraway seeds
I amped up the vinegar and honey in this recipe (from the Joy of Cooking) to make the cabbage even more tangy, but if you're timid about vinegar, start with 3 tablespoons and taste as you go.
4 slices bacon, sliced into 1/2 inch strips.
3 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 medium head red cabbage, quartered, cored, and thinly sliced
1 large Granny Smith apple, sliced into matchsticks
6 Tbsp. apple cider or red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. caraway seeds
Heat a large, nonreactive skillet or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the bacon and cook until it releases its fat and starts to brown. Add the onions and cook until translucent and slightly golden. Add cabbage, apple, vinegar, honey, salt, and caraway seeds; then cover pan and cook over medium-low heat for about an hour, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is very soft but not falling apart, about an hour.
Roasted chicken legs with tomatoes and potatoes
This recipe, from Jamie's Dinners, could not be simpler. Like a lot of Jamie Oliver's dishes, you just chuck everything into a pan and roast until done. It's the combination of ingredients that's brilliant: the chicken gets crispy, the tomatoes form a delicious jammy sauce, the potatoes soak in the savory chicken juices, and the garlic roasts in its own skin, creating a delectable, spreadable paste.
6 chicken legs, thighs and drumsticks
2 large handfuls of new potatoes, sliced in half, length-wise
2 pints cherry tomatoes
10 cloves garlic, skins on
1 Tbsp. chili flakes
1 handful basil leaves
Olive oil
salt and pepper
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Season your chicken with salt and pepper and place the legs in two roasting pans. Add the potatoes, tomatoes, and garlic cloves dividing them equally between the two pans. Drizzle liberally with olive oil. Bake for about one hour, pull out the pans and stir the potatoes and tomatoes to keep them from sticking. Scatter the basil leaves on top and continue baking for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy. Insert a knife into the thigh to check if the chicken juices run clear (a sign of doneness). Serve hot, on a large platter. Tell guests to squeeze the roasted garlic out of the husks and mix it with the potatoes. Amazingly delicious.

dinner party on design*sponge
Hi everyone,
I'm on Design*Sponge today! Grace was nice enough to let me contribute some fall cocktail recipes (like the fall sangria above) for her Friday "In the Kitchen With" feature. I couldn't be more excited to be part of a site I've read and loved for years. It's really an honor.
Hope you enjoy these drinks this weekend!
PS: Hello to any new readers—have a look around and say hi in the comments!

dinner on the cheap: brunch
Yeah, I know. Brunch isn't dinner. When I was a kid, sometimes my mom would make eggs and bacon for dinner, which always seemed exciting for some reason, but that's not what I'm talking about here.
I'm talking about having people over for brunch instead of dinner. It's a great alternative for lots of reasons, especially cost-wise. A dozen eggs can cheaply feed a lot of people—at least six or more, depending on whether you're making them sunny side up or in a quiche. Don't like eggs? Brunch-y baked goods like pancakes and waffles are equally affordable when made from scratch, although they can be a bit more time-consuming. That's why I'm in the egg and bacon camp.
Still not sold?
--Brunch is inherently more casual. Which can be extra nice for people with kids or people who aren't into cocktail parties.
--There are less courses, meaning less money and clean-up.
--Usually, brunch isn't as much of a time commitment as dinner. A few hours, tops.
--Brunch is a good alternative for a non-drinking crowd, but if your guests are into drinking, you can serve mimosas, bloody marys, or seabreezes.
--You (and your guests) have to wake up early.
--You need to serve coffee. Or tea. Or anything with caffeine. Otherwise you might have a group nap on your hands.
--Brunch doesn't have as much of a dress-up, special occasion feel.
Mainly, though, it's a nice kick-off to the weekend. A homemade morning meal puts everyone in a good mood and then leaves you the rest of your day to do whatever you want.
A few weekends ago, my friend Amanda came over for brunch. We ate eggs, caught up on each other's lives, and then went on our merry, separate ways to the gym. There's something really satisfying about making time for friends without it being a big production. Sure, we could have gone to a restaurant, but it was nicer to linger in the living room rather than being stared down by a hungry line of brunch-goers waiting for a table.
Brunch for Amanda
Mushroom and parmesan frittata
Spicy roasted potatoes
Fruit salad with yogurt and almonds
Mushroom and parmesan frittata
If you don't like mushrooms, you can substitute any type of sauteed greens, tomatoes, or cubed, roasted potatoes. You can also use any other type of cheese.
(Serves 4 to 6 people)
3 tablespoons butter
4 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced (I used criminis, or baby bella mushrooms)
1 Tbsp. thyme
6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup, plus 2 Tbsp. grated parmesan
pinch of salt and pepper
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and thyme and sautee until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper until combined. Drain any liquid from the mushrooms, patting them dry with a paper towel, if needed. Add the mushrooms to the egg mixture. Pour the mushroom-egg mixture back into the skillet (make sure it is oven-proof) or into a 9-inch ovenproof casserole dish. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden around the edges and slightly soft in the center. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan on top. Serve hot or at room temperature.Spicy roasted potatoes
This recipe came together sort of spontaneously--I had potatoes, tomatoes, and an onion in the fridge, all of which went into a roasting pan, creating a spicy, savory version of hash browns.
(serves 4 people)
1 lb. fingerling potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, whole
1 onion, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
pinch salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Place the vegetables in a roasting pan, and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat. Sprinkle on the red pepper flakes, paprika, salt, and pepper and toss to coat. Bake for 15 minutes, then toss the potatoes, and bake for 10-15 minutes more, or until they are browned and soft inside. Add a sprinkle of coarse salt and serve hot.

Thanksgiving wine picks from The New York Times. What makes a wine "Thanksgiving" appropriate, anyway? Eric Asimov, the paper's wine critic says it's challenging to find wine that can complement such a wide variety of dishes, but isn't that the case with almost any meal? [via the NYT]

The Chicago Sun-Times has the best meatless Thanksgiving dinner I've read about in awhile. It's from Molly Harrison, the chef at Green Zebra, a well-regarded vegetarian restaurant in Chicago. The menu: mushroom-chestnut cobbler, glazed sweet potatoes, roasted beet salad with oranges and cranberries, and apple crumb pie. Yum.
But even better is her advice. Here are a few smart tips from Harrison we can all use when it comes to Thanksgiving or any dinner party:
-Keep it simple. Don't over-complex your meal; cook simply. Or make it a potluck and ask each guest to bring a dish.
-Use foods in season. For example, don't use strawberries for Thanksgiving. Instead, use apples --they're in their prime. Serve baked apples, apple butter, casseroles with apples, apple pie. Serve fall and winter squash. Simply cut it in half, put it on a tray, add some butter, salt and pepper and roast it in a 350-degree oven for an hour or so. Use beets, root vegetables -- they are very tasty.
-If you find making homemade rolls impossible, bake easy-to-make popovers or even bake refrigerated or frozen rolls or bread.
-Don't sweat it if your dish doesn't look like the picture in the Martha Stewart magazine. Your guests didn't see the photo. Don't bring it up.

a cold-weather salad
I tend to think of main-dish salads as hot weather food. Fall is for soups, and stews, and warm roasted things. But like a lot of people, all this hearty eating eventually makes me feel a little heavy. And bulky sweaters can only conceal so much, you know. So I revisit salad. A nice big plate of mixed greens is great, but when you add a few seasonal ingredients (roasted squash, nuts, apples, braised meat) you've got a dinner worthy of company and something easy enough to throw together on any weeknight.
A few weekends ago, I cobbled together a roasted duck salad inspired by a recent visit to Northeast Kingdom, a super charming restaurant in Brooklyn. I didn't get the recipe from the chef, but I mentally cataloged all of the components (shredded duck, pomegranate seeds, chopped dates, parsley) then tried to reproduce it at home. I made a few changes, adding oranges and pistachios and omitting the dates. Although the restaurant's version had more of a spicy sweetness, my orange zest-infused dressing paired well with the duck. Speaking of which, this was my first time cooking duck. I'm not sure why I put it off for so long. I guess duck always sounded complicated and greasy, but I can happily report it was no more time consuming or difficult than cooking chicken or turkey. If you're still duck-shy, you could substitute slices of roasted squash, grilled steak or chicken.
Roasted duck salad
(Serves about 4 people)
For the salad:
2 boneless duck breasts, skin on
5 oz. baby greens (I used Earthbound Farm's herb mix, which was nice)
2 heads endive, sliced
2 oranges, segmented
1 handful pomegranate seeds
1 handful pistachio seeds, shelled
salt and pepper
olive oil
For the dressing:
1 Tbsp. minced shallots
2 1/2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1 tsp. orange zest
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the duck breasts on a foil-lined cookie sheet, skin side up. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Roast for about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the duck. The juices should run clear when the center of each breast is with a knife. Remove from the oven, wrap the duck in the foil, and let it rest for about 10 minutes to seal in the juices. Unwrap the duck (watch out for the hot steam), then remove the skin and set it aside. Using a serrated knife, slice the duck and skin thinly and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk all of the dressing ingredients together until combined. If you want to make the dressing a bit richer, add a spoonful or two of the pan juices from the roast duck. Yum. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, endive, and fruit. Pour the dressing over the salad, and toss until combined. Plate the salad and arrange the duck slices on top. Sprinkle with pistachios and sliced duck skin.
Serve with:

a very special soup
Last week's election was one of those days I'll always remember, down to the smallest details: the excitement on everyone's faces emerging from the voting booths, the album I listened to when waiting in line to vote (Vampire Weekend's Vampire Weekend), nervously refreshing NYT.com a million times at work, what I wore (a purple sweater vest over a white t-shirt and jeans), and most importantly, what I ate.
Instead of going out to watch the returns, Dan and I decided to hunker down in our apartment with our neighbor Caledonia (of peach jam fame) and her adorable daughter Selena. We've only hung out together a few times, and mostly know each other in the unfamiliar-yet-entirely-intimate way of being neighbors in an old building with thin walls. But we both wanted to be home on election night and agreed it would be more fun to spend it together. The day before, Caledonia emailed me to say she would make soup and Selena would make cookies, and I agreed to provide the salad and wine. This was not a time to fuss with food--my stomach was in knots the entire day. More than anything, I just wanted a strong drink.
But when I walked into Caledonia's apartment and smelled this spicy, tomato-ey aroma, I instantly relaxed a bit and exhaled the breath I had been holding all day long. There was soup. Everything would be okay, no matter what. We poured wine, gathered around the TV, and cheered as each blue state was announced. Obama's speech and the excitement leading up to it will always be the center of my memory of that night, but my memories are always intertwined with food, and the scent of that comforting soup will always be there too. A bowl of soup and a mix of anxiousness and elation and feeling permanently connected to people I'm just beginning to know.
Election night dinner
Spicy chickpea, sausage, and tomato soup
Spinach salad with parmesan and green apples
Humbolt Fog cheese
Ginger cookies and ice cream
Chickpea, sausage, and tomato soup
Apologies for the blurry photo above, it was snapped with much haste. In reality, this is a very pretty soup, deeply flavored with cumin, jalapeño, and sausage. Caledonia says she clipped this recipe from a copy of Bon Appetit dating back to 1995 and has held onto it since. After tasting it, I agree it's definitely a keeper. Serve with chopped cilantro and avocado. A dollop of sour cream might be nice too.
(Serves 6 to 8 people)
1 tsp. olive oil
3/4 lb. turkey sausage, casings removed, crumbled
8 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup canned diced peeled tomatoes with juices
2 Tbsp. thinly sliced seeded jalapeño
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried
3 15- to 16-oz. cans chickpeas, undrained
2 cups canned chicken broth or beef broth
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Chopped fresh cilantro
1 avocado, peeled, sliced
Heat olive oil in heavy large Dutch oven (or stock pan) over medium-high heat. Add turkey sausage and chopped garlic and sauté until sausage is golden brown and cooked through, breaking up sausage with back of fork, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add tomatoes with their juices, sliced jalapeño chili, ground cumin and chopped fresh rosemary and simmer 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add chickpeas with their liquid and chicken broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer soup 15 minutes. Stir in fresh lemon juice. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before continuing.) Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle soup with chopped fresh cilantro and top with sliced avocado. Serve immediately.

peanut butter chocolate madness
I have reservations about sharing this recipe with you. I'm not really sure it's a good idea. These cookies are dangerous. Like, evilly good. Way, way too fast to make. And so darn foolproof that you might be tempted to bake them all the time. Every day, possibly. And then you'll gain ten pounds and hate me.
Sigh. Maybe I should give you more credit. You're not like that, are you? You won't eat one cookie, then sneak another one when no one's looking, then--what the hell--eat three more. And then brush the crumbs on the carpet. Ahem. No, you have willpower and healthy eating habits and can be trusted around a bag of chocolate chips.
So here you go. Go forth and bake. Just keep these babies away from me.
Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies
Even though you might eat your weight in these cookies (by Amy Fritch via Gourmet), they have no butter, oil, or flour. Which sort of offsets the guilt, right?
(Makes about 3 dozen cookies)
1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease baking sheets (or line them with foil for faster clean-up). In a large bowl, stir together the first four ingredients until smooth. Add the chocolate chips and stir until incorporated into the batter. Roll teaspoons of the dough into balls and arrange about 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Use the tines of a fork to flatten the balls to about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, making a crosshatch pattern. Bake cookies in batches until puffed and pale golden, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets for at least 2 minutes. They may still be soft and crumbly when you transfer them onto a rack or plate, so do this carefully (I used a pie server to avoid breakage). As the cookies cool, they will get firmer. Store in an airtight container.

a victory song
I can't wait until January 20. Until then, I'll be playing this song.
The Underdog, by Spoon
Picture yourself in the living room
your pipe and slippers set out for you
I know you think that it ain't too far
But I hear the call of a lifetime ring
felt the need to get up for it
oh you cut out the middleman
get free from the middleman
You got no time for the messenger,
got no regard for the thing that you don't understand,
you got no fear of the underdog,
that's why you will not survive!
I wanna forget how convention fits
but can I get out from under it?
Can I gut it out of me?
It can't all be wedding cake
It can't all be boiled away
I try but I can't let go of it
Can't let go of it,
Cause you don't talk to the water boy
and there's so much you could learn but you don't want to know,
You will not back up an inch ever,
that's why you will not survive!
The thing that I tell you now
It may not go over well
And it may not be photo-op
in the way that I spell it out
But you won't hear from the messenger,
don't wanna know bout something that you don't understand,
You got no fear of the underdog,
that's why you will not survive! (Hey!)

chicken vs. broken glass
To bring it back to food, a more appropriate topic for this blog, here's David Sedaris on undecided voters:
To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?"
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.
I mean, really, what's to be confused about?

Learning how to write SEO friendly blog posts is a skill that can be learned fairly quickly
When you create content that your audience understands and receives value from they are more likely to share it on social media, which helps to introduce your content and brand to a whole new audience. Think about it for a minute — create great content and people will be willing to promote it for your for free. This can result in more inbound links and increased rankings in the organic search results.
Writing blog content for your blog requires that you understand how to create content that will engage your audience as well as gel with the search engines. Now, a lot of people take this the wrong way and stuff their blog content full of keywords and it really ruins the readability and quality of the content. There is a way to make your content search engine optimization friendly while still keeping 100% of your focus on creating content that provides a value to your reader.
Use the following 10 tips to create awesome blog content that your readers will love while still keeping it SEO friendly in the process. Natural writers are able to just sit down are the ideas flow, creating a great piece of content. Others often need some help and guidance, so use these following tips if you fall into that category.
1. Determine What Your Post Will Solve You will want to first think of what your blog post is going to help solve. What is the purpose of the content — are you solving a problem or providing help? You also have to establish what your goal is, conversion wise, for the post. Do you want to direct your reader to another page on your website after they read the content? Are you trying to get them to make a purchase on your website? Are you trying to convert them into a lead? You must identify this before you even start writing.
2. Create an Outline Before you start typing away you need to make sure that you have a nice outline laid out and ready to follow. This is where you address the key points, which will be your headings, sub-headings, and bullet points. Once you have this all structured you basically just have to fill in each section. This not only helps you create content faster, but it ensures your blog post has correct structure before you start.
3. Break Up Your Content Break up your content into small paragraphs that are easy to absorb. Long and drawn out paragraphs are difficult to read for some and you will lose their interest. Small pieces of information perform much better and it is also more visually appealing. Each paragraph should have a main point, which you address.
4. Use Descriptive Headings and sub-headings are a great way to address key points and introduce new pieces of information, but they also serve another purpose. Many of your website visitors aren't going to read every word in a blog post. They will skim through it quickly and if your headings and sub-headings are descriptive they will understand your post and the point you are attempting to make even if they just skim through it.
5. Proof Read. & Then Proof Read Again Before you publish your content you need to proof read it. You should also have two to three other people read it to make sure that they understand the main point of the post. Having someone else proof your content will also help point out any grammatical errors that you overlooked. It is always a good idea to get a couple of sets of eyes on it before putting it out there for the world to see.
6. Don't Keyword Stuff Back in the day most blog content was created around a formula of inserting the target keyword into the content a specific number of times. It was referred to as keyword density and depending on whom you talked to that number ranged from 2-5%. Now, if you use your keyword in the heading and place it within the content a couple of times you are fine. Now, this is only if it makes sense and can be used without ruining the quality of your post.
7. Install WordPress SEO There are several SEO plugins that can help you craft your posts in a SEO friendly manner. Personally, we recommend WordPress SEO because it is very thorough and simple to use. Remember that these plugins will just help you with some basic SEO and make suggestions accordingly. They aren't the answer to all of your ranking questions, but they do provide some nice guidance, especially those new to SEO.
SEO is always evolving and the "old" way of creating content will slap your website with a Google penalty. High quality content that your readers see a value in will receive more Facebook likes and shares, Twitter tweets, and repeat visitors. Use the tips mentioned to make your content more SEO friendly, but remember to always focus on publishing great content.

If you have an older home with old windows, then you know how draughty and cold they can be. Putting up with draughty windows does more than just leave you cold it runs up your energy bill as well. Draughty windows are costing you money. Getting your windows replaced by a window replacement contractor is the ideal solution. If that is not on your budget, there are other solutions too.
Dealing with Windows in a Budget Friendly Way
Everybody wants to keep their homes warm in the winter while staying cooler in the summer but you don't have to break the bank doing it. There are some easy fixes you can do to keep the draught out.
Cover the Windows with Plastic
The cheapest way to keep the draught out of your home is to cover the windows with clear plastic sheeting. You can apply the plastic by using double sided tape make sure you extend it a couple of inches wider and taller than your window frame. Use your hair dryer on the plastic sheeting for a few minutes to make sure it stays sealed.
This is a cheap and simple method to prevent up to 55% of the heat from your home from going out the window. If you can't get your hands on clear plastic sheeting, try bubble wrap instead. Put the bubble side facing the window and then hold it in place with double sided tape. Hear is a video showing exactly how to do it.
Reglazing the Windows
You can count on at least 25% of your heat or air conditioning escaping through draughty windows. Another thing you can do to cut down on the utility bills is to try reglazing your windows. Glazing is the putty that seals the window between the wood and the glass; you can try having that reapplied to stop the draughts from coming in. If reglazing the windows doesn't stop the draught then you're a problem in the casing, and it's time to get a contractor in to replace those windows.
Weatherstripping Your Windows
Weatherstripping your windows is another way you can use to try and keep in the heat or air conditioning when the windows are draughty. It is a short term solution you can use if you can't afford to have them replaced immediately. Bear in mind this is just a temporary fix and your windows will have to be replaced eventually.
Using Styrofoam
Basement and attic windows that you don't have to see out of you can just cover them with a one-inch thick sheet of styrofoam. Again these windows will have to be replaced eventually, but if you have a limited budget for window replacement start with the windows in the rooms you spend the most time in.
Draughty windows are costing you money and while replacing them should be your ideal solution sometimes that's just not possible. These were some cost affordable solutions to get you through until window replacements can be done.

Make more trade fair contacts by means of interactive product presentation. Eyecatcher effect: long distance visibility for greater attention of visitors and clients at your trade fair booth.
First and foremost, it is of paramount importance to stand out amongst the mass of exhibitors, to attract people's attention with a visual highlight, from afar and right away. For this purpose, our interactive projections are the ideal solution. The large‑scale projection shows appealing images and videos, but the truly stunning moment for trade fair visitors is the one they realize that their presence and actions actually have an impact on the projection itself. This can happen, for instance, when they pass the projection and their silhouette reveals an "underlying" image on it, an eye-catching effect made possible by a special depth-sensing camera.
Multi-touch walls possess an equally good long-distance visibility. They can be integrated into every trade fair presence, in any desired size and design, and they also offer visitors the opportunity to interact with them: multiple trade fair visitors simultaneously can playfully gather information or perform virtual product configurations. At the same time, multi-touch walls are optimally suited for the display of presentations at your trade fair booth and can be of assistance in info and sales talks.
Surprise visitors to your booth with a worldwide novelty: our interactive display case which puts your product in the foreground. Visitors can freely move the product via touch gestures on the display case's crystal clear glass surface. The product on display is rotated against a dynamic 360° backdrop, while additional screens illustrate the product features in multimedia fashion.
Turn a simple visit to the trade fair into a long-lasting experience by inviting your clients on a trip into virtual reality.Thanks to our high-quality wireless VR headsets and impressive VR environments, your clients can immerse themselves in a world far away from all the trade fair hullabaloo. Via projection of the headset's VR perspective onto large display screens other visitors as well can benefit from this installation.
The multi-touch scanner tableis a genuine trade fair all-rounder: it recognizes visitors within a range of up to 20 ft. and attracts their attention with its circulating LED strips. Then it asks them to present info flyers or business cards to it, which it then processes digitally and, for instance, complements with matching video footage or product information. Lead generation on trade fairs and events has never been easier! Thanks to entertaining multi-touch games, like AirHockey for up to 4 players, you can rest assured that your booth is a constant magnet for visitors.
If you would like to learn more about the benefits of multi-touch installations at a trade fair, you can find more information in our blog.
The collaboration with Garamantis was refreshingly uncomplicated and perfectly target-oriented. We as an agency provided the contents and ideas, and Garamantis consummately put them into practice and developed the matching design. Our client was very pleased with the result and, with the multitouch table, had a real highlight to show at his trade fair presence.Stephan Kleinschnitz, Director Operations Marketing, Weigang Pro GmbH
The multi‑touch table as a part of the BMZ's trade fair appearance at ITB 2017 was a complete success. The interactive map of the world helped to rapidly attract visitor's attention to the fair stand.Marie Okuniek, Event & Location Management at Zächel GmbH
The Berlin company's "multi-touch scanner table" incorporates true object recognition and a radio person detector, which makes it especially suitable to serve as an autonomous interactive information desk.VDI Plattform "ingenieur.de", 11/14/2016

(Video)WOW!! AWESOME 3 Bedroom Tent with Living Room and Screened Porch!
Wow, I just ran across another awesome tent. This one is from the UK. I couldn't find any US distributors so you would need to have it shipped. This is the Vango Diablo 900x and it is pretty AWESOME!
This tent measures just over 27 feet long by 28 feet wide. It is made of fire retardant polyester, and it has a screened front porch, a living room that measures roughly 11 feet by 13 feet and is just over 7 feet tall. It also has three bedrooms that can be zipped closed for complete privacy and each bedroom can comfortably sleep three. The Diablo also has a durable, waterproof, sewn in groundsheet and according to the salesperson, the whole tent "should" fold into a 2 1/2 foot by 7 inch square.
Check it out, I think you'll like it.
Sharing is Caring!
…and of course, don't forget to like our Facebook page and post!! 😉

image by André Pires Godinho
The flag was adopted by law 1284/75 of 29 May 1975. It is a horizontal
tricolor, red-white-blue, with the coat of arms above two crossed gold
stalks of grain (probably rice) on the center, the grain overlapping into
the blue stripe. The coat of arms is divided quarterly: (1) blue, two gold
crossed lances, signifying the founding of the city during the period of the
Farroupilha Revolt; (2) red, the medal of the Uruguayan Surrender in gold;
(3) red, a broken silver chain, symbolizing the liberation of the slaves,
which took place in Uruguaiana four years before the Golden Law [which
liberated slaves throughout Brazil]; (4) blue, three bars wavy silver,
symbolizing the Uruguay River from which the city takes its name. The
shield is ensigned with a silver mural crown of four towers; for supporters,
two lions argent, armed and langued gules, signifying the unusual situation
of the municipality, being associated with two American countries. The
scroll has the name of the city and the date of its foundation.
Joseph McMillan, 17 March 2003
Considering the evident meaning of the town's name and its location, could
this flag have any relation to the likewise designed flag of the

A free mini-class and resource list for writers who want to #smashpatriarchy
by Heather Jo Flores
We're studying the "tropes vs women" topic in my yearlong Heroine's Journey course, and it's the perfect subject for a free mini-class!
At the beginning of our course, (and also in the free intro course) we talked about the Flores test and the Bechdel test, and students were encouraged to make their own "is it feminist for reals?" test.
Keep those tests in mind as you explore these links.
Wait, What is a Trope? Is There Such a Thing as a Feminist Trope?
A trope is a formula for shaping a story. It's sort of like that story's "brand identity."
Let's start with this example of a trope we all know, the "epic tale." Read it through our heroine's eyes, would ya?
It's almost funny, right?
Now that you have your ecofeminist thinking cap all charged up, have fun with this labyrinth! Just hop around a bit and see what you find. Notice that "hero's journey" is listed as but one of many tropes but truly, as I am sure you have noticed, the overarching theme pervades them all.
Now that you've gotten acquainted, explore some of these common tropes and ask yourself why they might be harmful to women. And is it possible to use these as tools, without falling into the traps they present?
Finally, add this bit of essential reading/watching, "Tropes vs Women to the top of your list. It's really well done and is such an important conversation.
Once you've had a right deep dive in that rabbit hole I just showed you, do some freewriting.
Ask yourself these questions:
Come and share what comes up for you in our free public discussion group, and as always, feel free to write to me directly, anytime.

number of possible changes in design and firewall architecture within their data center environments. To determine the proper placement for NGFW platforms, it's key to determine the most appropriate use cases for your deployment. The most common NGFW deployment scenarios are as follows:
- NGFW as firewall replacement: Many organizations are considering a NGFW purchase as current firewall infrastructure approaches end of life (EOL) or licenses come up for renewal. In these scenarios, the NGFW platform will likely sit inline where the previous firewall was located. As with a traditional firewall, redundancy and load balancing for traffic (clustering capability) is essential.
- NGFW as IPS replacement: Enterprises are also considering NGFW devices to replace existing intrusion prevention system sensors and infrastructure. Depending on the models chosen, this may be a more costly purchase, but it's a reasonable consideration for organizations that need another layer of application inspection in addition to a base set of IPS functions at limited numbers of locations within their networks. Unfortunately, NGFW platforms may not scale as well as a more traditional IPS infrastructure, and the cost of deployment may go up significantly by taking this approach, as IPS platforms are usually deployed inline at locations such as major ingress points, DMZ zones and behind VPN platforms. Ensure NGFW platforms have fail-open or bypass mechanisms to allow traffic in a failure scenario; active-active or active-passive pairing is also recommended if possible.
- NGFW as firewall and IPS replacement: For organizations looking to condense security infrastructure specifically, and have EOL and license renewal scenarios coming up, the purchase of an NGFW may make a lot of sense operationally. If a single platform can meet the organization's needs, and additional layers of defense in depth are in place, then this is a sound option for reducing costs and operational overhead for management and maintenance. In this scenario, network consolidation may be possible because the NGFW can replace multiple devices. The key considerations for this scenario are: a) port density; b) redundancy and availability options; and c) aggregate throughput.
- NGFW as additional control: For organizations looking to add another layer of defense, particularly those that are swapping out a secondary firewall layer or just adding a new layer, NGFW platforms can provide a range of new security features. Placement in your architecture will depend on what functionality you are using. For user identification and passive monitoring, devices can be placed "out of band" using taps or mirroring if necessary. For any blocking actions, though, inline placement will be required where the traffic passes through.
A key attribute of any next-generation firewall architecture being evaluated should be speed. Given the intense processing and analysis of packets coming through any NGFW device, traffic latency must be a major concern. Many products boast sustained speeds of 10 gigabit and more, but these should be tested thoroughly with real production traffic if possible before making a purchase, especially if the product will be placed inline. For organizations looking to inspect Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) traffic with the NGFW platforms, all SSL traffic you want to inspect must be routed to the system, either through normal traffic flow or by using intelligent taps or SSL traffic brokers. Many NGFS platforms experience significant latency with SSL decryption and inspection enabled, however, so you should carefully test it prior to deployment. And regardless of the deployment scenario, test it for throughput under load and have clustering and redundancy options available.

Playmate Playdate

Filed under: December 2011

December 31, 2011
It is so much fun to get together and have a playdate. Last night we had our family Christmas. Gifts were exchanged, food was eaten and laughter filled our house …and hearts 😮
Now, the house is quiet. My grandchildren are probably still running crazy at home still high on sugar cookies. All of us are wishing we had stopped eating, perhaps one bite sooner, but it is a satisfied feeling just the same.
My wife made roast beef, ham and mashed potatoes. The green beans were also from the farm as we celebrated the blessings of the harvest right along with the birthday of Jesus. Cookies were abundant and delicious and love filled the air.
We visited with a friend before our family arrived for dinner. It was a nice time too. She had concerns and problems to share, as well as, a celebration or two. The visit also revealed a health concern. We will pray for her and hold her dear as she works through the issues at hand.
Our day came to a close with the animals all fed and content. The children and grandchildren were all loved and fed and a friendship was cemented a little bit more. I will say this was a very good day … In fact I will call this a great day!

The horses enjoyed a little play time yesterday. There was just enough snow to make the cement have some traction. I let them jump around and play on the feedlot. They had a grand time. The pastures are too saturated and muddy for the horses to romp around. They will have to be content with work and this type of play until the ground freezes.
The big creatures would destroy way too much pasture with their big feet stomping the tender grasses out of sight. All that would remain is the deep pock marks made by the running horses. These holes are ankle twisters to say the least.
Once the corn fields are picked clean, then gleaned by the pigs, that field become a jump lot for the horses. They can poke holes, run, jump and roll on the sacrificial plot that will be plowed in the coming spring. They get to rip around bucking and kicking while not hurting a thing.
Some folks will give me a hard time about soil compaction from the gentle giants, but I know better. The little impact that the horses make while working my farm or playing like rough housing boys has never been a problem. The deep ruts I see in some fields where the harvest went on no matter the soil conditions, will present a much bigger problem than three playful horses could ever do.
I am not going to argue. I am just going to keep on working my horses, harvesting my crops and enjoying the freedom that having "enough" ….can bring to a man.
Frolic my friends, enjoy life and whatever you do, leave a little impact that can be smoothed over…not the deep complicated kind that lasts forever. Tread lightly on the hearts of men so that long after you are gone, your name will be spoken easily on their lips.
Winter water for pigs

There are several ways to water pigs in winter. I chose the lowest cost most effective method that I could. If a container is left in the pen with the pigs, they tip it over, as soon as, they are done drinking. In no time at all, their pen is a wet, stinky place. Nipple type waterers freeze in the winter, unless some expensive options are employed.
My piggys are turned out two times a day to run and play no matter what the weather. They drink, race and chase, then drink some more. Their bedding stays warm and dry. They learn quickly to drink when they are let out to play. They seem to look forward to the playtime and drinking is just a benefit.
I use a shallow rubber tub. The water will freeze in the tub. I break it or even turn it upside down and stomp on it to break the ice out. The tub lasts two or three years and is used daily. The ice is no match for the rubber tub.
I turn my pigs out every day as I said. This routine starts, as soon as, the piglets are weaned. The learn quickly to go out and play. They enjoy running and chasing each other as if playing a game of tag. I hiss at the pigs when its time to go back to their pens. They soon know how it all works and run for the pen. All of this moving and interaction comes in real handy at trailer loading time. They know I will not hurt them. They are used to being out of their pen. So they run down the alley and jump in the trailer looking for what ever treat awaits them. No squealing, screaming or stress of any kind … for the pigs… or for the farmer 😮
Our pigs are pasture raised most of the time. When field conditions are not ideal or like this year when the corn is still standing, the pig barn is utilized. The pig barn is a nice place. Manure is cleaned out regularly about every other day. New straw is added to the pens at that time. The pens stay dry. The pigs stay warm, clean and healthy.
A bed of warm straw is a good place to snuggle on a cold winter night. The pigs grow quickly and the daily excercise builds muscle and keeps them fit. The pork is wonderful, tender and delicious. Proving that this method and the effort put forth is well worth it.

The old timers used to say that it was as slick driving as a "pig on ice". It's true, pigs don't get much traction on ice. Last night, we got a mini ice storm. My truck was much like the pigs as we slid and spun our way home. It is the first of the season, so driving a bit slower was the order of the day… but some folks just don't get it. I saw them off the road looking forlorn, late and ticked off. I tried to brighten their day by smiling and waving as I drove by 😮 after making sure no body was hurt of course!
My pigs are staying part of this winter in my pig barn. They still get access to a play area, but winter grazing will have to wait until the corn is picked. They don't seem to mind. Their pens are bedded with deep fresh straw and the daily excercise keeps them from getting bored. Piggy Sue and Noah share a pen. They keep each other warm, provide company for each other and hopefully… piglets for the farmer in March.
The horses are enjoying a romp in the snow as well as the pigs. I think the snow brings out the child in all of us. I feel better. My dog is playing and rolling in the snow. The sheep are out grazing and I swear the cats were trying to make snow angels in the stuff.
It is probably the first of some snowy days to come. The animals and I are taking it pretty well. Later in the week, they are once again calling for warm weather as our unseasonable winter continues … It's not up to us. I will just take it as it comes and be glad for not having to shovel … yet!

The other day when our visitors came, they fed the lazy goats carrots and celery through this knothole in the barn siding. The goats, usually very friendly, just wouldn't come out and play. They waited for our guests to put the treats through the hole. They grabbed them and ate with delight. Our guests were reduced to just watch the goats through the tiny window.
This BLOG offers a glimpse of my life. It is a window into my world. I get to share things that happen in my life and on our farm. The light shines both ways. People comment and share their memories and life with me as well. I never thought this portal would be such a sheer pleasure for me.
Today a cold rain falls on the farm. The mud is already deep, the ponds are full and the ground is saturated. I still can't believe that it is this late in December and we are having warm temperature and rain instead of cold, ice and snow. I am sure one day soon, winter will come with a vengeance!
The warm weather means that lake Erie isn't frozen. We will get lake effect snowfall for the rest of out winter …well at least I think so 😮 The ice and cold will roll across the lake on the north wind. The clouds will pick up warm moist air, turn the crystals to snow flakes and dump them here in the snow belt of northeast Ohio.
It would be a wonderful thing if we would have a week of cold weather to freeze the ground first, but a bunch of snow dumped on top of all this mud will make field travel difficult for most guys. I have the horses. They don't get stuck. They start when it's cold and have all the power I need. On the worst days, I can just sit inside and take pride that I worked on other days hard enough so that I don't have to go out when it's bad. Feeding and caring for the animals is done inside the warm barns…as all of us thumb our noses at the bad weather.
I guess I will just hunker down, watch from my window and share memories made on better days. All though I will say, I have made some whopper memories when the mud and snow were deep. One that comes to mind was made while I was working in a woodlot skidding timber with my horses.
The log cutters were starting in a new area. We teamsters were caught up and were standing around talking while our horses rested. I was standing on the side of the skidway listening to a couple old timers talk. All of the sudden, I started to fall forward?? I just lost my balance somehow. My feet were crossed as I was standing and got tangled up in the mud and sticks. I fell headlong into the quagmire that was our skidway. I put my arms out, as if to do a push up, to catch myself. That plan would have worked fairly well if the mud had not been so deep. I did a face plant in the gooey, wet mud. I could hear the men all laughing, just slightly muffled, by the mud in my ears. I had to laugh myself, because that must have been a sight to watch 😮
Hang around, share my stories and my life. Enjoy the view from the window to my world.
Merry Christmas 2011

Merry Christmas everyone! My horses got some early Christmas gifts when our farm's visitors brought apples and carrots. The petting was unending as well. My spoiled pals were treated like royalty. They munched and slobbered all over our guests, but everyone seemed to have a good time.
Last night I struggled with a cold, that hangs on yet today. It is one of those snuffy nose, achy body feel like crap kind. I managed to get through work today, but am not on my game or anywhere near it.
I laid down on the couch last evening and tried to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart. It is a favorite of mine. It speaks to my heart every time I watch it. I guess I identify with the leading man and character George Bailey. I usually think of myself more as John Wayne, Clint Eastwood or even Charles Bronson… the tough hero types that folks look up to…. but every year at this time I am moved by George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart)
I too have stayed in this little town, choosing to live not far from my birth place. I too have done a few things I didn't really want to do. I have stayed at jobs only because it was the right thing to do when many other things sounded so much better. Like George, I have a wonderful family and friends who love me very much. I am a man blessed and I know it…. thank you God.
I hope the time never comes when I am so far down in the dumps that I cannot see out. I hope not to have to ever call on my family, friends and acquaintances for goods or money …. BUT I know in my heart that if I were ever in despair like George Bailey … people would come out of the wood work to help me with advice, money or anything else that I would need. The thought of that happening humbles me to tears ..every year.
I only hope to continue to look for the best in people, help where I can and teach anything that I can. I will share with others what I know about farming, animals, soil and life. I do this to glorify God for the gifts he has given me and most importantly the greatest gift of all .. His Son Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you got everything you wanted, spent time with family and friends and I hope you keep Christ in Christmas. As I shut the barn door tonight, I knew once again why a stable was chosen for baby Jesus birthplace..the peace and contentment found there, is like no where else on Earth.

Today we had some visitors to our farm. They are extended family, but visitors just the same. They took in all the sights around the farm, petted the animals and gave out treats to all of them. King was the farm's ambassador who took his job very serious.
Snow barely covered the ground, but it did hide a lot of mud. It gave everything a fresh appearance and the look of cleanness…right until you stepped in the mud. Oh well a nice visit was had by all. The treats and praise went very well during this time of magic that is Christmas 😮
I am still revelling in the fact that the maple syrup arch is all ready for the upcoming syrup season. Sure, there is still plenty to do…. but what a wonderful feeling to have that brick work all done, to say nothing about getting the whole thing set and leveled!
The cows, horses and other animals were glad to have the visitors. They watched them come and watched them go. The people had fun watching the animals … me… I went out one more time to watch mortar dry… and every one of us had a great day!

Hi everyone!
If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen that I took over the account of Library of Fragrance UK! I've blogged about their scents here and here if you'd like to have a read!
I have rather a crazy collection of scents now from their library, and yet I'm nowhere near done sampling them all! Their Colognes are intended to be unisex (cologne is a term that refers to the strength of the oils in the fragrance, rather than the gender it is intended for use by!) and are delicate enough to not overwhelm, but enough to wear alone or in layers. The range from the basics of scent (rose, patchouli, musk, oud) to the downright strange (Play-doh, Tomato and Gin & Tonic!) So far, I've been amazed at how wearable each and every scent, (yes, even playdoh!) can be.
I've included some images from the takeover below, but you can also go and follow Library of Fragrance on Instagram for more scent inspiration. Or visit their website! Thank you to the team at LOF for giving me this opportunity, I enjoyed myself!
View this post on Instagram
@iamjessicajj again! Have you smelled this scent? Whiskey tobacco! It's Smoky and deep and powerful, equally masculine as it in feminine. Library of Fragrance scents are by all accounts unisex and can be mixed and matched to create unique scents for both guys and gals! This one is beautiful paired with Bulgarian Rose, or with vanilla ice cream!
Don't forget to follow my blog in the link on the right, or keep up via bloglovin'!

So we like to do birthday's up big around here, in case you don't know that. James actually had a pretty mild birthday week though, gotta save up for when he really knows what's going on! But here's the run down...
Monday of last week we had a family birthday party with my side of the family. We get together every other month or so to celebrate whoever we need to celebrate! This month is was Ryan, James, Jaime and Daren. It was great fun and a big crowd! I don't think James totally understood that it was partly for him, but he loved the cake and the gifts!
On his birthday I took Beth and James to Chuckecheese. It wasn't crowded at all, so we had a good time playing games and riding rides. They both thought buying prizes with tickets was just about the coolest thing ever! After lunch we went over to the mall to visit the Easter bunny. James liked seeing him from a distance, but the whole sitting on his lap thing was pretty much out of the question. Beth loved him though!
That evening we had the Owen side of the family over for a little shindig. Nothing like pizza and cake and ice cream! James LOVED his "race car" cake! I had to do my best impression of daddy's car since its James' favortite thing in the world. All in all it was a fun birthday and James absolutely loves all the gifts he got. He got lots of hot wheel cars and planes and helicopters. All big hits! Plus a dump truck, books, puzzles, a fire truck and a few other things! Spoiled kid!
We sure love our James!

Celluloid Quotes
I'm old-fashioned; I'm a man of celluloid. I think it still has a depth and a precision that you do not have in the digital domain, and the digital domain has some disadvantages. When you shoot something and record it with a digital camera, you have an instant access to it - you don't have to wait for the dailies. - Werner Herzog
