Woah woah woah woah woah-o-o-o
2010...here we go.

Comfort Food

In coming across these Nutella croissants, I think my head just exploded. Oh my.



Fried Mac & Cheese? Um yes please. I think the fact that the recipe calls to "fry it in lots of butter" means it is calorie free.
How cute are these little grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup! I think they would be darling for a cocktail party. I've heard the secret to great grilled cheese is a little dijon mustard. I've never tried it this way but it sounds great...maybe a little horseradish spicy mustard. YUM!

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” ―Edith Sitwell

Maine

Until I came across these photos of Maine, I don't think it had ever crossed my mind how beautiful their beach must be in the winter. How wonderful to see a snow covered beach on your way home from work every day. What a different perspective. I want to see Maine.

Take another picture with your click, click, click, click camera. I've decided I need a better camera. Perhaps a better camera and a camera class. I love taking pictures especially when we travel...its one of my MOST favorite things.
