We Bought A New Car!
WOO HOO! We got a new Prius! Traded in the old one, which was great, and got this one which is even more fancy. The voice-controlled navigation and bluetooth cell phone action is amazingly cool. I can’t wait to navigate in convoluted Pittsburgh now.

If you want to see the crazy assortment of stuff I’m [...]

The Demon Cookies Taught Me Something About Baking
I just made a new cookie recipe, and the horrible monstrosities that came out of the experience have taught me some valuable lessons about baking… that I already knew.
