love for pasta.

There are many types of food I love, but pasta is my favorite. I have a lot of love for pasta. (:

flu.

I just turned the corner to feeling better after a horrible week with the flu. Ugh. Let me just say, it was pretty bad. I am glad to see it go. I thought I would never recover. Over the past week however, I did realize how much being sick affected my appetite. My diet consisted of crackers, fruit bar popsicles, water, orange juice and macaroni. I didn't seem to be hungry, which is so out of the ordinary for me. Valentine's day was also last week, which totally stunk. I had lovely reservations at Top of the 80s, which by the way is an amazing restaurant with an amazing view. I picked around my food, but ended up bringing most of it home. I kind of knew that would happen in advance.

On a lighter note: I went to a dinner party at my boyfriend's relatives house and had some fabulous chicken and lasagna. The chicken was breaded and very soft. Supposedly my boyfriend's uncle used to be a chef, so no wonder the food was to die for. :)

grandma!

This is my grandma, isn't she lovely and my sister Shannon. (Note, she isn't always that tan. This picture is taken during the summer). I recently have seen some resemblance between my sister and my mom, and then my mom and my grandma -so who knows - maybe this is who my sister might grow up to be! (Haha!) My grandma will be my main focus for my Web site. She doesn't know this yet, but I think she will enjoy the idea. She doesn't know the first thing about computers - not like I do, but I am hoping she will like the idea. I have been thinking about layouts this weekend, trying to find a really cool cooking site that I maybe could steal some ideas from, but I haven't found any that really strike my fancy. Maybe I am being too picky, but whatever. I'll figure it out. I am guessing my Web site isn't going to be straight recipes, since my grandma usually cooks the same things over and over again. I want to include some grandmotherly advice of course, and my blog, maybe some photos. blah blah blah. This is me just working out my thoughts.
