Recent obsession

Bento! I don't know why I didn't get into this sooner. You can make anything way cuter by simply putting a little face on it! I found Happy Little Bento today and I cannot stop!

Somethin' Fun

I had a crazy idea to make a stop animation short film of the first level of Super Mario Brothers. Well, since I had this idea I haven't been able to stop searching for similar shorts. So, here's one just for fun!

The list of Desire

There are only a few things that I really want; world peace, love, no war, community, etc...
Apparently, I am supposed to make a list for Christmas. Each year I attempt to think of something to write down. My usual request is coloring books and markers. Only one person has taken this seriously and I was pleasantly surprised with a Homosapien coloring book. Amazing!
This year I actually have a list and I started it months ago...

Occupy Art

Yesterday, I stumbled upon this:

Manet’s Le Déjeuner Sur L’herbe, 1863

The creator Jockohomo featured some notable paintings from Art History as the backdrop for a new meme Pepper Spray Cop. These memes caught the attention of the Huffington Post online, and are sure to go viral very soon. They are so playful!

Here is a link to Jockohomo's tumblr.

Well, it's been two days of cooking and 24hrs without interacting with the public. I'd say this year's Thanksgiving has been a resounding success!

With that said here's some pictures of what we made for our Thanksgiving feast.

Breakfast: Popovers, Apple Jelly, Nutella, and Sausage

Appetizers: Shrimp, Oysters and Cream Cheese, and Brie with Crackers

 Dinner: Chicken & Stuffing, Green bean Casserole, Wild rice Hot dish, Mashed Potatoes, Squash, Cranberry Sauce, Gravy, and Rolls.

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you're looking for something to make you more knowledgeable and angry at the same time; visit xkcd (the webcomic) for an info-graph on money.If I'm reading this correctly; every United State Citizen could pay $10 to eliminate the country's deficit. On the other hand; if we joined the money we donate to campaign funds for presidential candidates the country would be out of debt immediately. If I could control $10 going straight to eliminating the country's debt, I would do it today. Heck! I would donate $20!

I make Whoo-PIE!

I made pie! I decided to take pictures throughout the process and I made a little video too.

Following a recipe from Simply Recipes I found it a very simply recipe indeed.

 ...of course, the crust was homemade...

Oh, and I made whipped cream too!
