My wife and I spent a lot of money on our kitchen…not as much as some people, but it was a chunk of money. And it gives me pennies back every day! See, before, when I had that “sin of a kitchen” (direct quote from former owner of the house) cooking was hard, cleaning was …
So, last time we explored Pinterest we determined that I have a love for things that are gooey. So, Vanilla Custard Cake – right up my alley, RIGHT? Especially after the Chocolate Cobbler success. Yeah, let’s make this thing! Here it is (I can’t bring myself to link it, I’m trying to save you …

Okay, so my mom sent me some recipes…This is so wonderful and awesome, because in my house growing up the kitchen was filled with love. It was THE place to be, and my mom encouraged me to experiment (I even have the old cookbook that I used to flip through when I was a kid, …
I thought I would share my favorite short Christmas cartoon. It was created in 1936, and it is adorable! It puts me in mind of my many steampunk friends. Enjoy!
I love how this one says “Santy”, instead of Santa…it’s very Mid-Western and reminds me of my grandparents. 😀 Also, brushing reindeer teeth! And drilling rocking horse butts! lol This one gets better when you’ve got an adult (aka dirty) mind.
