Goddess Goes Domestic

I had this whole idea of posting yesterday but was waylaid by more janitorial pursuits, as the bathroom was in dire need of Vimming and the laundry was beginning to win it's hostile takeover attempt in the bedroom. Yes folks the goddess, formerly of industrial strength silicone adhesive (which by the way never actually worked), and caulking gun fame, has turned her sights towards the domestic side of life -- for the next 6 days anyway.
So instead of writing some deeply thought out observation of life at this moment I offer the following:

The All-new CAMERA WARS SLIDESHOW (I almost typed SIDESHOW there and it wouldn't have been entirely incorrect)
-- what do you do for fun on the weekend? If it hasn't included a camera war to this point IT SHOULD. Note how my little finger seems to be missing in one of the photographs. Rest assured it is a casualty of the camera and not of the war.

Recipes we've been making at our place lately:
Muffins - a staple in our diet.
Apple Upside-Down Cornmeal Cakes
Cornbread
Really, REALLY good Peanut Butter Cookies
Apple Dumplings!!

And finally, TM bought a breadmaker about a week ago, so we've sworn off store-bought and are exploring a vast array of breadmaker recipes.
THIS was the basis I used for making a focaccia loaf on Friday.

Here it is with some vegetable soup:


And here is TM enjoying a piece (however not enjoying having his picture taken) over the kitchen sink -- the garlic I topped it with made it rather crumbly.

For the safety of bronchial trees everywhere

Egads! 22 days since last post. It seems that around the beginning of every year I seem to have a need for hiatus on M&C. Though I know my content updating has been less than admirable for months.
Today however, I do have a very good reason to post -- a reason of a celebratory nature in fact -- and that is I AM FINALLY EMPLOYED.
That's right sportsfans, you may now release your collective held breaths and return to your normal colours. In fact, I entreat you to do so and to follow it up with some fresh breath of air wherever you can find it (ie. air not inclusive of second hand smoke or car fumes etc) for I am working as Communications Assistant for the BC Lung Association (and that is the only time I will actually write that out in full, maybe the googlebot won't get me)!
So in answer to your question V, no you do not have (or get) to call me a capitalist whore. Not even once. That's right baby I'M NON-PROFIT.
