Conquer Procrastination

Dani — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:33:26 +0000

Procrastination is the worst. It can feel crippling and makes you feel terrible. It’s been one of those comfortable devils that I’ve allowed to linger around in my life. “Someday” turns into this big dark cloud that follows you around, forever making it onto your 500 to-do lists but never overpowering “Dishes” “Laundry” . . . → Read More:

Stuffed Butternut Squash

Dani — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:45:53 +0000

Last night as I stared at the almost completely empty fridge (sans leftovers that smell funny, condiments, and the ever prevalent gallons of milk thanks to WIC) I threw this together. Fast (in actual hands on prep time), somewhat healthy, and a switch up from another night of spaghetti….not that I actually had . . . → Read More:

Durian tastes like…..

Ask five people what Durian tastes like and you are likely to get five different answers. Some drool over it, some run in horror and some, like us, just really want to put new strange things in our mouths.

Opened up the pods.

Last week I had the great pleasure of finally meeting Ms. Alivia and catching up a little with her wonderful parents. It was an overcast kind of gloomy day but we had a great time with the ducks and playing in the park.

Picasa vs. Flicker

Dani — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:04:52 +0000

After just a short time of using WordPress I have discovered so many wonderful things….and some very useful….and some very odd things.

The topic for today is photo uploads. After waiting what seems eons to a 20-something-year-old (around two minutes) for one of my photos to upload to my blog, I sighed in . . . → Read More:

Tomatillo Pork Burritos

Dani — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 23:42:40 +0000

Many months ago Kevin and I slipped out of the house for our “Date Night”. i.e. stuff your face in public.

(We have decided now that we much prefer stuffing our faces at home)

That epic night it . . . → Read More:

The garden has really started to blossom as summer is coming into full force here in our dry hot hole in Oregon. The hemp rolls have proved to be even more useful than we initially thought…..guess its a good thing we have hundreds of feet of it!

The Garden

The garden is coming along quite nicely!

After some long hours of work from The Commune crew we have all four of the 4′x30′ beds in!

The trellis bed of 3′x45′ has been somewhat leveled and is ready to have the hand labor started to get it in place.

I about had a heart attack

Dani — Thu, 06 May 2010 20:16:50 +0000

I have had a wonderful day of learning so much about PHP and CSS languages today and have made good progress towards the final format I would like this blog to be in.

I was editing away on the code trying to put widgets on my 404 page (the one you see when . . . → Read More:

Cheesecake Recipe

Dani — Mon, 03 May 2010 13:46:41 +0000

This is my favorite cheesecake recipe….but due to how expensive it is to buy all the cream cheese and how much I don’t need a cheesecake floating around my thighs refrigerator, I have only made this recipe once.

It was a beautiful glorious sight to behold.
