    On Monday night, I made my Nana's Old Fashioned Stew for the first time. It was SOOO good. So good, that I've eaten it for lunch every day since and I'm still not sick of it. And Pat loved it, too! It is such a simple recipe but is so yummy. But I also tried a new recipe to go with the stew, per the recommendation of my Aunt Molly/cousin Elaine). I didn't have their recipe so I went to old faithful, allrecipes.com and searched for something similar.

    I always read through the reviews before making a recipe for tips and suggestions. I came away with a few recommendations: add some garlic to the dough mixture, in addition to the butter topping mixture; make sure not to over mix the dough and use wax paper on your cookie sheet for easier cleanup.

    Mmm...cheese garlic wax paper biscuits
    I followed all of the recommendations of the reviewers. Two worked out great, one was absolutely awful. The wax paper idea was HORRIBLE! We could not get the biscuits off the wax paper. Unless you like eating biscuits like this (picture to your left), never, EVER, use this recipe with wax paper.

    I'm not going to lie, I was extremely frustrated and disappointed when this recipe didn't turn out. I even screamed. Yes, I threw a tantrum like a little girl. But after a day to calm down and regroup, I decided to tackle the recipe again, this time sans wax paper. They turned out much better but still stuck to the pan. Maybe next time I should grease the cookie sheet?

    I do highly recommend the biscuits, they taste just like red lobsters. They don't look quite as good when I make them, however. I would give them a 3 out of 10 for presentation. When Pat got home from work and saw them on the pan before going in the oven, he said, "What is that? It looks like cat throw up." Nice. Just what every wife likes to hear about the meal she is preparing. Considering he ate them off the wax paper, I would say he was really enjoying the cat throw up biscuits. :)

    Sandy and the 1000 Paper Cranes: About The Project

    I recently joined the group 20 Something Bloggers and stumbled across the blog below where Sandy is creating and releasing 1000 paper cranes with a different inspirational word on each one. She leaves them for others to find and to hopefully spread a bit of positive energy and "world peace" which is what cranes symbolize. She came up with this idea after reading "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes" by Elanor Coerr which is a book about a girl from Hiroshima who was diagnosed with cancer and wanted to fold 1000 cranes before she died but unfortunately only made it to 644. I was inspired when reading her blog and thought you might be interested in learning about it too! Sandy and the 1000 Paper Cranes: About The Project : "So why 1000 paper cranes? What started this all? After reading the true story of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Elanor Coerr, I was..."

    Beware of Infections...

    When I think of an infection, I think of something that needs a little neosporin and a band aid and then life goes on. When the doctors started talking about Mark's infection as something that is life-threatening, as you can imagine, I was shocked. He has stage IV cancer for god's sake, an infection is the least of his worries, right? Wrong. Turns out it's not uncommon for people going through this treatment to get these infections which can be fatal if it doesn't respond to antibiotics and continues to spread. So, going back to my blog about not worrying because it doesn't get you anywhere and it's a waste of time, yada yada yada - I have done very little of anything else besides worry during the past 36 hours or so. Even during the hour and a half last night watching the movie Amityville Horror I was worrying. Well, I guess I was worrying more about not peeing my pants, but you get the idea. I feel bad for the people around me when I get worried like this. I

    First Annual Ugly Sweater Party

    Ugly Sweater Party from Emily Robinson on Vimeo . Well, our First Annual Ugly Sweater Party was a huge success! We had SO much fun, as you'll see from the video. I also had so much fun making this video! I got a new flip cam for Christmas so it was fun to actually make a project with the videos! For those who attended the party, you will definitely enjoy all 14 minutes of this video (it is worth every second). I was laughing so hard while I was making it! For those who didn't attend the party, I can see how the video might get old or seem really long. Either way, if you watch it, let me know what you think!
