For a while now I’ve been meaning to clean up my website. Kerry made a comment awhile back that my recipes were hard to find and that I mostly took pictures of Noby. Well it’s true, I mostly take pictures of Noby (and that won’t change) but I have tried to make it easier for everyone to find my recipes. On the right hand side of the site, I’ve added a box that will list all the recipes. Go ahead, take a look… It might take me a few weeks to find all the old recipes, but it’s a start. I also want to shout out to the girls at “SlobRecipeExchange; what the cool kids eat!” You guys have some mad recipes that I hope to try soon! Thanks for adding me as a link on your page!! So tonight I’m adding a new recipe to the site and hopefully I will keep it all organized. It’s an oldie but a goodie… Tonight, on this election night, for dinner we had Taco Rice. The first time I made this, Kerry and Ichiro were amazed that it looked exactly like the picture in the book. *cough cough* I AM GOOD!!
ohhhh JUST LIKE THE PICTURE!!!
