Quick Jambalaya

Found this recipe in one of my Martha magazines. It is easy to make and really yummy. (I substituted pork sausage for andouille; also precooked the meats before cooking).

Beer Lover's Guide to Coffee

Check this out from one of my favorite roasters. I absolutely love African coffee (Costa Rican too). I am looking to purchase African as well as Mexican from Red Barn (had for the first time in Boston): http://www.redbarncoffee.com/.

A Good Laugh

I don't normally plop down to watch the Globes, but there was nothing on last night but repeats and the baby wanted to eat. I was disappointed that Patrick Dempsey did not win..but Hugh Laurie's speech was pretty good. Not as good as Sacha Baron Cohen's blurb.

"I saw some dark parts of America ... an ugly side of America ... a side of America that rarely sees the light of day. I refer, of course, to the anus and testicles of my costar Ken Davitian. Ken, when I was in that scene and I stared down at your two wrinkled Golden Globes on my chin, I thought to myself, I better win a bloody award for this."

Remembering MLK

If ever given the chance, visit the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. It is very moving.

Beauty of Pewter {Danforth}

During my visit to Middlebury in May I was able to watch a pewter vase being made. I have been buying their products for the past couple of years. This is the 2006 Holiday Ornament I purchased as this years gifts.

A Want

Sony 10.2-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera
Model: DSLRA100H

I really want this camera! My goal is to become a photographer when we move north in the next few years. This is the camera I would want if I were in that position now. I am curious to see what kind of goodies will be available then!

On the Loose with Dr. Seuss

Once Kaleb gets a little bigger we plan on making a visit.
