For those of you know Juliann, aka The Sick Chick… you know that that is a grand statement.. But it’s true. She is walking.. tomorrow to support a great cause!
She is doing a 5K walk for Fibromyalgia research tomorrow! Juliann actually lives with fibromyalgia and is wheel chair bound at times so doing a 5k walk is a huge deal for her. I do wish I could walk by her side tomorrow, but I can’t; so the best I can do is to help her out by enlisting support!! SO.. not to mince words… please donate now! There is more about Juliann and her struggles with fibromyalgia on the donation page..
My hat’s off to you girl!! Have a great walk!
Let’s spice things up a bit.. anyone who donates today, stop back here and let me know and I will throw your name in a drawing for this:
Now.. you will have to wait a bit on it.. I do have one copy sitting here on my desk but it has to go to Hawaii with me… I think… So…go.. donate now and come back and leave me a comment letting me know you did!! And even if you don’t win.. you can feel good about supporting a great cause!
Bear with me while I show off.. My little bro is majoring in graphic arts and design and here is one of his latest creations..
Pretty cool I think!
Well I was supposed to do this yesterday but as you can see from my last post I sort of missed yesterday. Started feeling really tired at about 10:30 a.m. and it kept going. I ended up going up to bed at like 6:30 and not waking up till 12 hours later!
So I give you my Cinco de Mayo Cookbook review!
We don’t want no stinking Chi Chi’s or tacos in a box.. no, we want the real thing! And if it is the real thing that you want then The Art of Mexican Cooking
by Diana Kennedy is for you!

This is the beloved classic cookbook back in print after nearly 20 years! I have to say when I received this book I was surprised, I wasn’t expecting it to be so thick!! This book covers everything!!! Soups, corn, seafood, poultry, pork, beef, eggs and cheese, breads and tortillas and of course.. desserts!!
AND IT’S ALL THE REAL DEAL!
No reaching for that box of tortilla shells, make em’ yourself, and with step by step photos along the way you can do it with ease! Diana Kennedy truly puts the art into Mexican cooking… (and no Isela.. you can’t have this one..not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!!)
I think I missed it? But I actually posted over at Loom Out Loud.
Stop over! I am off to sleep for 12 hours I think..
