Kerryann your pics won't show. Says you lack bandwidth on your free account.

Yay for Rand being home! Eat all you want, I'm sure you could use some comfort food.

Nice tort Ken!

Work was crazy... Crazier than Christmas even.

But now home eating ice cream and watching Under the Dome.

Earlier today I made crab rangoons with chili dipping sauce

I know, i have to call them. I think they are having am issue because I tried to get support and it gave me a message they are having issues. I have the highest level of pro account offered by photobucket. I use it for my site and other stuff I host. I have 40 gigs of used space out of like 100 gigs and unlimited bandwidth.

Morning!!​

When I was getting truck fuel I saw a lottery ticket with bacon as the theme, so I got one thinking of Ken. It was a loser, can't win them all. :rolleyes:

They were pretty good. Thinking I should start a food blog so I can share recipes and such with people.

We drove by a foreclosed house we liked and despite it needing some obvious repairs to the garage door, fence, and deck railing it didn't look too bad. The inside had actual oak floors from what I could see through the window and an open layout. Only downside is the house lacked front gutters so the wooden garage door was bubbled up paint and needing replacement. But it was on a sloped hill so that allowed drain off instead of pooling around the foundation. Either way, we'd definitely get inspections done. Pros: higher resale value neighborhood, not lacking the floors, no tarp for a roof, no popcorn ceiling/asbestos potential. Cons: can't afford right now, still needs TLC/inspecting, might sell before we can get it.

You know Kim, the day will come when you will have the down payment and you'll find another home that will make you happy. But, if you are close to having the down payment, my advice is to jump on it now. Why? Because it may be worth even paying the PMI with the mortgage since you can still get a great rate now. Remember, if you fix up what is needed, live in it for three years, the resale will be so good, you'll have all the down payment for the next home w/o PMI. That's the way I'd go.

Btw, I think a blog is a great idea. Make sure you can get some videos on how-to-make so that people can learn by seeing you make it. Who knows, you may be another Paula Dean w/o the bs.

We bought our house in a nicer neighborhood than I could have afforded before the market drop. Mike wasn't working then and I was paying for his schooling at that time too but we got this house for only a bit more than I paid for my half the size house in a less desirable neighborhood in 2001 (we moved here in 2008). We have put a lot of money in this house but we did it over the last 5 years making improvements as we had time, and now this neighborhood is back up to the point where we could turn a profit easily which is nice. Sometimes having a lot of work as long as it isnt the stuff that will have to be done immediately, is okay if you have the time and energy to put into it. I say go for it. We had a pmi when I bought here because we kept our cash for the things that had to be repaired immediately and we gained so much value that within 3 years it was removed when we refinanced.

I never thought of making videos for my blog but that is a lot of work honestly. Plus then people would see me licking spoons and stuff when I cook. ;)

Anyone remember The Galloping Gourmet?


Some days, don't you just wish you could freeze deviled-eggs?



They are so easy to make, why would you freeze them. :p

We have a plethora of left overs ones from last night, and I want to graze on them over the next week or so.

I would say you probably could freeze them and they wouldn't kill you but It'd probably be slimy when unfrozen. :(
You could make them into egg salad and eat them as sammiches?

First I don't have a smartphone, just an old cellphone. Second even the cellphone does not work at my house. I have to go to the top of the hill to make a call. So count me out.

Yes I do. I don't work off an ingredient list until I am done. I keep track of what I use and taste until I get a good flavor and then I post my recipes. There are things I make planned for the blog that never make it. :shy:
