EVENT: Great American Bake Sale


Share our Strength, an organization that works to end childhood hunger in America and the organization that put on the recent Taste of the Nation event, is bringing you a new way to contribute to the cause.

The Great American Bake Sale is a campaign to get people to host bake sales in their community to raise money to aid children at risk of hunger.

This is a way to contribute for those of us who may not have $100 to pay for a food festival, but may be rich in friends and neighbors who like to eat (and who doesn't, really?)

If you love to bake, or know people that do, please visit the Great American Bake Sale website for details on how you can organize your own bake sale, or how you can find a bake sale to attend, or even how you can contribute to someone else's bake sale.

Thanx dude, I love comments! I have to admit that this most wasn't super interesting, just a good cause. I'm working on one now that I hope is fun-filled.

I'm not sure on the profile views - do I really have that many? I don't know why ... my profile's not that interesting. Maybe it's because I am so beautiful, people just want to stare at my little picture.

Are you having a bake sale? I went to the site and followed a few links and they didn't offer up any bake sales where I could contribute.

Time for a new post BTW.... lets get moving sister;D

Hey KT,

Sorry no comments last month. I got married (yay!), my wife got laid off (boo!), and my company is downsizing (boo!). It's been hectic. Just wanted you to know I hadn't forgotten you.

Chubby: YAY! Congratulations to you! On the wedding that is, not the layoff. I hope this means your wife gets to find her dream job! I missed ya!

RESTAURANT: Ristorante Belvedere, Monterosso al Mare, Italy

We started off our second-to-last day in the Cinque Terre by taking the train to Vernazza for breakfast: There was supposed to be a market that day, but since the weather was threatening, there were only a few meager stalls, mostly selling non-food items. We had our breakfast and walked around the village a bit. Vernazza used to have a river flowing all the way through it, but now the river has been shunted underground at a certain point. If you walk to the top of town you can see it, along with some ducks and geese that hang out there to get fed by whoever comes along. J. and I then went to sit and have an espresso and wait for the train to Corniglia, the only town we hadn't yet visited. Corniglia is home to the local nude beach (which we skipped) and is the highest of the towns, elevation-wise. We had to walk up a buttload of steps to get there. Look at me go: That's actually me going down (a lot faster than I came up), but I did come up them as well. There is a bus that ta...

INFO: How to Dry Tomatoes

It's the end of summer and tomatoes are everywhere. Lovely round red tomatoes and multi-colored lumpy misshapen heirloom tomatoes and cute little cherry and grape tomatoes and oblong, flavorful roma tomatoes. And along with the tomatoes, tomato recipes abound. Capreses and salads and sauces and sandwiches--it seems impossible sometimes to find a dish that DOESN'T have tomatoes in some form. So what's a girl to do when tomatoes are everywhere and ... she hates tomatoes? Why, dry the tomatoes of course! Dried tomatoes are so very different than fresh tomatoes. So different as to be a different fruit altogether. And I like dried tomatoes. Dried tomatoes are sweeter and that green flavor I don't like so much seems to get baked right out, replaced by a rich warmth that is much tastier to my palate. Also the chewy, meaty texture is more pleasing to me than the weird firm-yet-squishy texture of even a tomato grown with all the tender loving care of its farmer. Generally I purc...
