ok the first photo is to show off the homemade cheesecake I baked (with the aid of Caleb who mixed because I am weak…)
The second is to once again show off the cheesecake, but this time you can see what it looks like.
The third is the beef. AND MY AMAZING NEW KNIFE.
The fourth is the beer-brewed beef, but this is the sauce that went on the beef.

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?
— Alice in Wonderland (via quote-book)
Lost love is still love… It takes a different form, that’s all. You can’t see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it.
Life has to end… Love doesn’t.

oh man. what a fantastic book. I got it as a confirmation gift from the dear Michael Kleinfelder. I also have given it to previous people who mean something to me (Justin and Caleb are two examples).
Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn’t be one of them.

That lovely dinner I prepared for Justin that I tumbled about eons ago. Quite a success.
Try never mentioning your spouse, your family, your home, your girlfriend or boyfriend to anyone you know or work with - just for one day. Take that photo off your desk at work, change the pronoun you use for your spouse to the opposite gender, guard everything you might say or do so that no one could know you’re straight, shut the door in your office if you have a personal conversation if it might come up. Try it. Now imagine doing it for a lifetime. It’s crippling; it warps your mind; it destroys your self-esteem. These men and women are voluntarily risking their lives to defend us. And we are demanding they live lives like this in order to do so. Yes, Admiral Mullen. It is about integrity. It’s also about a minimum of human respect.

GOODNESS.
I need to post more. I apologize to my few followers. My wonderful boyfriend gave me one of the best birthday presents ever! First, he got me measuring spoons BUT they are magnetic and stack on top of one another! yeah, like I am going to let anyone use them besides me… Second, he gave me a baking book and it is AWESOME. I will try and use at least 3 new recipes a week and post pictures on here! Yay for cooking blogs and cats. I still love my cats.
