There is a website I discovered called grouprecipes.com. It is a cool little place to search for recipes and to meet fellow cooks. It has a lot of neat little features. You can search, share, and store recipes there (the search features are cool...there are several different ways you can search). The recipes don't have to be your own, either. There are many ppl who post recipes they found somewhere else or got from someone. You can also find cooking buddies near your area, add your fave...
My brother, sister, and I took our One and a half year-old niece out to McDonald's the other day. We are all only too eager to dote on her.

After we gleefully and oohed and aahed at each of them,...
My new place is what you would call a “Fixer Upper” Sure we (the b/f and I) could have rented an apartment with all the up-to-date amenities... or maybe even chosen a swanky, modern house... But I fell in love with an old fashioned townhome...built before I was even born...I saw a picture of it--the faded pink brick...the small balcony...the warm brown wooden front door...the french window at the front--and immediately thought, “this is it.....” But it’s not perfect: the plumbing i...
