The first thing I made with my new mixer

April 16, 2013

I thought for a long time about what the first thing I would mix in my new Kitchenaid mixer would be and this past weekend, I finally got to get mixing.
I’ve wanted a mixer for over a year. How anyone goes to a department store and doesn’t drool over the arrangement of brightly colored mixers, I will never know. And finally, my time came.

What’s worth the splurge ant the grocery?

April 9, 2013

Being a young adult living on my own, I have to always be mindful of what I am spending money on. This can be difficult some of the time, when cooking is my favorite hobby. So today, I decided to write about which grocery items I will absolutely spend extra money on, whether I can actually afford it or not.

Bomgar considered irrelevant until proven educated

April 6, 2013

I do not know Joel Bomgar personally.
Therefore, I am in no place to gush over his credentials other than what is already public.
This week, Bomgar’s nomination to the State Board of Education was rejected by the state Senate, mostly on the grounds that the successful businessman does not have a background in public education.

Summerall: Never enough books

April 6, 2013

Yesterday most of the people in my house went to Starkville to see “The Host” a movie based on the book by Stephanie Myers. There are a lot of books in my house by this particular author. None of them are mine since the idea of sparkly vampires makes me nauseous. Aliens aren’t high on my list either so the Stephanie Myers books aren’t in my room. I can’t complain too much though, her novels had all three of my kids reading for the pleasure of it. A wonderful accomplishment.
