Seems a bit...

Payday Cheesecake, while not necessarily a thing of the past, is not a thing of the present. There was Jelly Doughnut Pudding. Then, or before that, there was......something else that was quite memorable. Obviously so. Today is payday. A day for Key Lime Pie, IMHO. Oh yeah. You saw correctly. Now forget about it. I had to quadruple the recipe in order for there to be enough for the department that catalogs stuff as well as the kind folks at Benton County Mental Health. That left me with 16 egg whites. I didn't want to just put them in the fridge with an intent to use them for something else at some other time in some alternate future where leftovers actually (THAT WORD!!!) get used in a responsibly timely manner. So I fried them up. All of them. With diced onion. A whole onion. It was one of 15 left over after I used the skins for dying eggs on Greek Easter. Here's the sweet part. Sixteen egg whites sounds excessive. Doesn't it? Dear Reader, are you still with me? In the online world of Weight Watchers, 16 egg whites is 5.5 points. They would have gone well with a Bacon Explosion.

Wave bye-bye

Get Your War On and My New Filing Technique Is Unstoppable have been purged from my links. The former because there is nothing new being added. Probably the result of the change in administrations. The latter because it just wasn't doing anything for me anymore. And the name is just too dang long. I hope neither one of you will be too terribly disappointed. While on the subject of links, check out Angry Alien. Wrath of Khan. Mmmm. Link sausages.

Libary Thang

The conversion of a playroom to a library. Paint. New carpet. Custom-built shelves. I am truly an itty bitty giddy. Many thanks to my brother and his son of the same name. Just some trimming out to go and then I can start shelving books. In Library of Congress call number order. Of course! What else?

Bon appetit!

Woo-ha! (Sp?) Yesterday was Greek (and other) Orthodox Easter. And though I am not (insert denomination here) it was an excuse to prepare a Greek dinner. More of a nostalgia thing for me. 1986 precisely. And a wee bit of 1985. Can you, Dear Reader match the names of the dishes to the pictures? Well, can you?
