Expanding Horizons

The first week of my new food adventure has come to an end.

I have been collecting cooking magazines for quite a few years and I used to simply flip through them and then put them in a pile to collect dust. In an attempt to expand my food horizons I sat down and actually wrote out the recipes that seemed interesting onto index cards. Now on Saturday Kevin will randomly select three of the recipes for us to cook the coming week. Sunday after work we go grocery shop with recipe cards in hand so we are assured to have all of the necessary ingredients.

I would upload pics but the server is down right now, so pics will come next time.

Until then, I hope this new adventure expands my food horizons while also allowing me to enjoy valuable time in the kitchen....oh yeah I also get to spend time with Kevin. Good times all around.

Stained Glass....Long Delay

Well, what an adventure the past few months have been. The Mondays in June were dedicated to teaching stained glass to some of my work friends. I have such a large glass selection and complete set of stained glass tools so I decided it would be fun to teach stained glass to others.

Although I thought the projects would be completed in one day, I quickly learned that it would take longer. No problem with that, each Monday just became a fun get together with home cooked food, fun movies....oh and of course working on stained glass. After about 3 or 4 weeks my "students" had completed their first projects and I could not have been more proud.

Kerri's Project: Gorgeous Poppy



Rachel's Project: Abstract and Amazing

So overall my first stained glass "class" was successful. Hopefully I can continue teaching stained glass to others, and possibly start making stained glass projects to sell. With time my ability to teach stained glass as well as make projects will continue to improve and it is exciting to see where it leads to.
