Project 365 Day 82: March 23, 2013

As you saw last year, I make a delicious macaroni and cheese. It's not hard to make, but it takes a while to cook, so I often make it a day or so before we actually have it. Today I made it not only so we could have it for dinner on Monday, but also so I could document it on Sharpen. Sharpen is a new app developed by my friend Dan from Oxford. It allows people who do crafty and creative things to teach each other, and encourages people to document the results when they try something they see on the site. (I probably didn't explain that well enough. You just have to see it to figure it out, because it's cool.) Anyway, today's photo is of the "spark" I was working on today, which is how to make my famous mac and cheese. You can see it for yourself here. http://flic.kr/p/e5wFmT

Project 365 Day 81: March 22, 2013

My friend Chrissie is much more on top of things than yours truly. She always manages to send my birthday present *before* my birthday, and it's always awesome. Today I came home to this awesome sparkly popup card covered with shoes and handbags, and a great cosmetic bag from L'Occitane that had a cherry blossom print on it! She knows me far too well :) http://flic.kr/p/e5Cgw7

Project 365 Day 80: March 21, 2013

In the field outside the pool entrance at Windsor High, there is a giant tire just sitting there. I have no idea why it would be there. I like to imagine that some sports team is having "World's Strongest Man" competitions, where they flip giant tires and pull planes and stuff like that. :) http://flic.kr/p/e5wACr

Project 365 Day 79: March 20, 2013

Tonight I made another delicious recipe that I found on Pinterest: cashew chicken. (Actually, I saw it on Pinterest then Googled around for a better version. I ended up with Martha Stewart's recipe.) We made two modifications to the recipe: first, we added shrimp, since we had a bunch of shrimp we needed to use. Second, we served it on Thai noodles, since we had some left and they cook much faster than rice. It was delicious and very pretty! I would totally make it again. http://flic.kr/p/e4TUgw

Project 365 Day 78: March 19, 2013

I know I've been telling you about how I swim at Windsor High School, so I thought I'd take a picture of the pool at Windsor High School... ... ...the *outdoor* pool, that is. I am nice and warm in the *indoor* pool. But I just found it so weird that on the last day of winter we had so much snow and ice, and this time last year it was 80 degrees. When I saw kids getting picked up by the parents from sports, I couldn't believe they were there for sports like baseball. Ah, springtime in New England... http://flic.kr/p/e4TU1b
