So I made that turkey for Mom’s Christmas dinner and it rocked! Everyone kept talking about how good it was and my aunt hinted that I’ll be making it from now on. Didn’t I predict that would happen? Here’s a picture of what it looked like after the first 30 minutes at 500 degrees: I [...]
One thing that’s so cool about having a laptop and a wireless router is that I’m able to sit in the middle of my bed right now and write this. Everyone and thing in my house is asleep right now and I’m taking this chance to get some work done. Cara stayed at Mom’s house [...]

Call me crazy [cause many have] but we’re braving Target tomorrow. I know, I know. What the hell are we thinking?! But you see, we go through milk so quickly that we should just tie a cow up out back and I have to get a roasting pan for the brined turkey that I’m doing [...]
An open letter to Arkansas weather: Dear Arkansas weather, While my family and I lived in Florida for four years, we constantly complained about the fact that Florida weather didn’t provide us with seasons.
