By Tamera, on September 5th, 2008 I am a little behind and really I am not sure why. I feel like I have been pretty busy but I really don’t think I have anything to show for it. *sigh*
OK now back to our BLT. KLT and I don’t mind spending a little extra money on food if it’s going to be GOOD! Hey don’t get me wrong I still shop at the local bulk club and the big box store to save money on every day items. Well the item in question of being good is the Bacon, as you know bacon is the star of a BLT. Oh and I should mention now I . . . → Read More: BLT anyone?
By Tamera, on August 28th, 2008 This is long over due. But things tend to get crazy in my life all at once. 😉 I had planned on working on this while in the office but there have been issues with getting to my blog from there.
So the other night we had Enchiladas and I tried very hard to get pictures of all the parts and the process. 😉 It is so amazing how much better my 540 flash works than the other one. I missed it so much while it was in a broken status, thank you Suzie for your help with breaking my flash and making me totally crazy on 08-08-08.

I am sitting here writing this with my bottom lip all a quiver and my eyes filled with tears. I am so ANGRY and I hurt for my friend KA so deeply that I seriously want to drink myself into a dull numbness that will maybe allow me a few minutes to start the grieving process.
By Tamera, on August 18th, 2008 So we were a little late getting back to my place from KLT’s and quite honestly I was pretty tired. Gwen was pretty sore and unhappy. Coming up with a good idea for dinner was difficult and then as we are getting busy with the prep work her comes the neighbor. Her son needs some help with his home work and they are unable to help him (now there is a “story” here, it’s not that the parents are not smart it is just that he’s a normal pre-teen). Well anyway we opted for some lamb burgers. I grabbed some fresh rosemary and a small sweet white onion, then I . . . → Read More: Lamb burgers anyone?
By Tamera, on August 16th, 2008 I have been a little side tracked this week, there is just a lot going on. I have been testing an application and having to do things out of order. Also had to let someone know at the exact moment that I broke anything due to the timing and urgency. This means that my test summary document will be incredibly screwed up. 🙂 But I did find something really interesting. Our security department implemented a new auth page to run on Apache Tomcat, that’s really nice of them. It’s called CAS auth. Well funny some moron decided to set the login to only >2 are valid. Nice since about 64 . . . → Read More: it’s saturday
By Tamera, on August 13th, 2008 So there is a flood light, actually a pair at the corner of my house in the back yard. I have been here for 4 years now and have never been able to figure out how to turn it on. Sure I found a random light switch that did nothing but I never figured out this light. New bulbs and everything. GUESS WHAT?! Tonight as I walked into the house the light came on and I was able to turn it off and on with the random switch. Please pray that I don’t burn up in a house fire tonight. 🙂 Thanks.

By Tamera, on August 12th, 2008 Last year I started a radical diet. I cut out carbs, not completely but mostly. Before you start to complain or give advice I have to tell you this was at the suggestion of my doctor. How does this tie into pesto? Well I went out for lunch one day to La Scala the Italian restaurant and ordered a sandwich. It came with pesto mayo, so I kindly asked if they could replace that with just pesto. Ah HA! The point is that pesto became my favorite condiment and pizza topping of all time. 🙂 So last summer I planted 6 basil plants so that I could experiment with pesto . . . → Read More: all about Pesto
By Tamera, on August 11th, 2008 So Friday when I got home from work it was time to start the assembly and decorating of the glorious cake. But there was a limitation, I needed to get this done, stay clean so I could go to dinner with friends.
Well to start things out I tried to cut my finger tip off. So then I have to wear a rubber glove and get frequent band-aid changes. So at the end of this event I had blood and chocolate all over my shirt.
Here it is coming together. I used a different icing reciepe so I had to make 3 batches. 🙁 Good thing that was . . . → Read More: …and the rest of the cake story
By Tamera, on August 7th, 2008 Unless I am lucky enough to have time off or or the project is big enough to require time off I just work cake baking into my normal schedue and routine of things. This is one of the latter. The sad truth of cake baking and decorating is the amount of dirty dishes. So far I have actually washed a sink full or two and placed into the dishwasher what would fit, what is left you might ask?
This was taken early this morning while I was making breakfast for the dogs. What is yet to come? All of the tools from making buttercream frosting, all of the decorating . . . → Read More: The sad truth of cake baking, more of the story about a cake
By Tamera, on August 7th, 2008 The story of a birthday cake.
Well I have this vision of a really tall cake. I don’t know why, maybe it’s because it will be “impressive”. This limits me to 10″ cake pans because I have enough of them to make many layers without washing in between. All had to be washed and dried, they sit for a long time before getting used. But look how pretty they are, I bet they last for the rest of my life.
So we need some ingredients.
