I sometimes have to remember that there are folks out there who are much much geekier than I am. Sadly, I’m the type that would seriously consider purchasing a fully functioning GIR if it was decided that he needed to be mass-marketed. So, considering the fact that I don’t, nor will I EVER, make any monies off my geekiness, who’s REALLY the geek here? Or am I just a total fantard? Perhaps a small amount of both.
And although it always pains me a teeny bit inside every time I do it, the brats have been boiled in Guinness and sliced onion before they were thrown on the grill. Even though it’s for a good cause, I always think, “There goes an entire bottle of something I could have been drinking.”
When it comes to the housing market, Husband and I have been biding our time. When we first moved back here a little over a year ago, we had planned on purchasing a house right away. That didn’t happen as things just didn’t seem right; it wasn’t the time. I’ve been keeping a close eye on the real estate in our area in the mean time, and now I’m really freaking glad we waited.
Interest rates are at an all time low in addition to lowering property values. Hell, in the past month alone I’ve seen a HUGE drop in prices for homes in the area we’re looking at moving to. *rubs hands together with glee*
Currently, we’re planning on looking a bit more seriously for a new place to live in September.
Humph. Now, watch while I get spammed by a bunch of Gretna Realtors.
And while I was there I found and developed an impish desire to get one of these little guys. As of yet I don’t know where or when I would use it but I’m sure that, given enough time, I could come up with something sufficiently devious.
I’m a big fan of finding new and delicious recipes on the internet and so whenever I can find a good recipe blog I get all excited and bookmark it so I can go back to it again and again.
Today I visited Anne’s place. Love it! I particularly like her Veggie Wednesday entries as I’m always interested in vegetarian dishes. I’m not a vegetarian, but I think vegetables deserve more than steam and butter. I also think there is more to life and dinner than an enormous slab of meat. Don’t read too far into that. Steak has its place, but I’m terribly finicky when it comes to the kind of beef I get and I’m not fond of overly large, fatty, or generally poor quality cuts. I didn’t even like red meat and often refused to eat it until I moved to Nebraska, so that should tell you something right there…
But I digress; I wasn’t talking about my picky eating habits, I was talking about the spiffy new blog I found. So far I’ve loved all of Anne’s recipes and can’t wait to try several of them out. Especially one from one of her latest posts for Veggie Wednesday: Lasagna Rolls on Sauce Béchamel.
I’ll let you know how it turns out as soon as I make it.
Oh, and I’ve blogrolled Anne. Hope she doesn’t mind.
