Apple of my eye….

Not around much in the food blogging world this week….crazy busy week but crazy good. Don’t worry next week I have nothing and can sit around and talk food…and make food. These are a great appetizer that is a spinoff of my Blue Cheese Cheesecake with Pear Onion Jam I made years ago. If you are saying ewww gross…I can assure you that savory cheesecake is wonderful. And when spread on crackers it’s a fun way to serve a cheese spread. And it classes things up. :D This recipe originally was for a magazine article that ran the story but never paid me. So thanks for that. It’s my fault because they stiffed me before and asked me to do another story telling me check was in the mail. So I figure I will put the recipe up for you all to enjoy since I never got compensated!!! … [Read more...]

Fat and Happy…

December 10, 2012 by Peabody · 13 Comments

So you may recall years back my rabbit had a problem with his eye (in fact back then we focused so much on the eye we thought she was a girl like they told us). Anyway a few months back the eye started getting much worse and it spread through the eye quickly. Last time it cost $1000. I simply don’t have that this time to try and save the bunny. Heck I don’t have a $100 to save the rabbit at this point. So I figured he would start to lose his appetite as the eye was progressing quickly and probably die in a few weeks. We told the kids that Little Fuzzy Bunny was probably going to the great carrot patch in the sky and that was okay because he lived a full life. And my theory was if he is going out why not go out fat and happy? So I fed him. And fed him. And fed him. He still is more than alive. He never has lost his appetite and he has double in size. Oops. But he is happy. He is one happy rabbit. :) And amazingly still alive. I often think if I only had a few weeks to live … [Read more...]

Getting FEST-ive….

October 9, 2012 by Peabody · 14 Comments

If we can’t figure out how to cure the common cold can we at least figure out how to harness the snot and make it into an alternative fuel source? Gross yes I know. It’s a food blog why talk about snot? Because darn it all we have useless gadgets galore and yet no one is working on this for me. At this rate with my cold I could have fuel for the remainder of the year. :) So I’m sick…but I’m not. I feel fine. With the exception of producing a large amount of what I hope to become an alternative fuel source…and just on one side. And I can’t sleep because I am hopped up on Sudafed. Which I had to sign my life away for and be judged by the pharmacist for having to ask for it. They scan your driver’s license. So odd. So when I am sick I want two things and two things only carbs (usually in the form of cinnamon-sugar toast…but I need my mom around to cut the crust off :) ) and soup. I actually made this soup a couple weeks ago when I saw it over on Evil Shenanigans. I … [Read more...]

Copy That Ghost Rider…

September 21, 2012 by Peabody · 18 Comments

So amongst the nice well wishes this week I did get a scathing 14 paragraph (yes, 14) email about how ridiculous it is that I run my (FREE to YOU) blog and don’t have a print recipe button for all of my recipes. This is not a new complaint to me and when the site got redone I added a print recipe button. When I first started my blog 7 years ago that wasn’t an option. It’s added now and the newer recipes have it. I will when I have time (so possibly never :P ) go back and add it to the old recipes. In the time the person took to write the 14 paragraphs to me they could have Googled how to get the recipe off my site. You might have heard of it…it’s called Copy and Paste. If you haven’t heard of it…Google it and it will change your life. I promise. With sprinkles on top. But in all seriousness people…copy and paste. It will take you about 30 seconds…less if you are quicker…longer if you are my mother (love you mom). None the less it’s not THAT big of a pain. … [Read more...]
