Channeling Paula Dean

So since I have acquired a boyfriend recently who loves to cook, I have felt the need to improve in the kitchen. For those of you in the Blogger World that don't know me all that well...I HATE TO COOK. However I also believe in an equal relationship so since he loves it so much I have been really putting effort into cooking more. Allreceipes.com has been a God send, most of the receipes are pretty easy to follow and don't make me feel like a total idiot in the kitchen. The other day at the garden we got rid of a bunch of pumpkins so I decided to take some home and cook something. The question was what though....after searching for a little while through the gazillion pumpkin receipes found at this time of year I found a "Pumkin Fritter" receipe in which I could use things I already had in my very limited pantry AND use the deep fryer I got 2 years ago and have moved to 3 different apartments but have never used. Bonus!! With a little help from Amanda (who is visiting yet again!!!!) and patience the masterpiece you see in the photo was born (it tasted pretty darn good too). Overall a successful attempt at cooking...now what to do with those darn pumpkin seeds.......until next post....laters

Just gotta be me

So I went home this weekend...I had so much fun...I miss my family so much sometimes, but while I was home I learned something about myself I can't live MY life for my family. It's time for me to venture out into to the world with the training they have given me and do my own thing...therefore I'm getting a tattoo...this is just a sign of my personal growth and freedom..God forbid my parent trip but like I said this isn't about rebelling it's about doing ME

Three states, One Girl

No, this is not the beginning of a bad joke. It's actually the beginning of a cool trip. I had a conference in Boston a couple of weeks ago. That was my first time in MA, while there I took the opportunity to check off a couple of additional NE states that I'd never been too. Depending on who you ask NY may or may not be considered NE but in any case previously I'd only been as far north as CT. With this trip I also saw NH & ME. I actually had to look up the abbreviation for Maine because I'd never been and couldn't remember what it was 😅.  Coastal Maine was beautiful. I've obviously been on the east coast waters before but seeing it as a lush green forestscape was another thing entirely. I definitely see why it's the setting of so many Stephen King stories, it's hauntingly beautiful. New Hampshire was a bit more rustic than I expected in the most delightful way. Massachusetts (Boston) was fun to explore and I spent so much time doing something I ne...
