Cruel Irony….

I’m being a cheater today. Or at least I thought I was until I realized…hey I created Way Back Wednesdays a while ago! Yay, I am only half cheating. :) And is it really cheating when I am on crutches and can’t stand up to bake? I think not. But truthfully I just couldn’t stand not to blog and well that doesn’t happen all that much lately. I guess that’s the sign of a good conference and the sign of getting to meet a lot of wonderful people over the weekend. People who gathered to talk about food, eat food, and do all things food with others that loved it. It reminded me why I blog in the first place. I love food. I love sharing my love of food. I love talking to others about food. And I love knowing I’m not alone in my love of food! I chose this cheesecake because number one I’ve been putting together an all things Fall pin board on Pinterest that highlights some of my favorite Fall recipes from this blog. And I ran across this beauty. It’s from back in the day … [Read more...]

A Funny Thing Happened…

So just four days before I was to leave for the IFBC (International Food Bloggers Conference) I got an email from my hockey league saying that they had moved my game up. Normally I wouldn't care all that much except that this meant that I wouldn't get to play in my championship game...and I'm the captain darn it all. So I got my train ticket changed to an early time and decided to leave the conference a little early. Got off the train and went to hockey game. Three shifts in I stood there watching a guy wind up as they call it. I do this all the time it is not unusual. Though I did realize who I was standing in front of (one of the better players) and just kept thinking please let it hit the calve, let it hit the calve, let it hit the calve (more padding) but no...it hit the ankle. Immediately it was completely numb. I tried to limp to the bench on one foot but my whole team yelled at me to drop so I did. Then the guys dragged me to the bench. Lucky for me we have an EMT on my team. … [Read more...]
