This recipe was originally found by my grandmother in I believe an ad for cool whip and pudding. I have taken the original recipe and updated it to use fewer artificial ingredients. Ingredients 1 pie crust (I recommend graham cracker crust that contains no hydrogenated oils) 4 oz cream cheese, softened 1 tablespoon milk […]
With today’s snow, I went to buy some hot cocoa at the store. I was disgusted to find that all the mixes in my store were made with hydrogenated oils, so I set out to make my own. Here is my recipe, modified from an Alton Brown recipe. Ingredients 2 cups powdered sugar 1 cup […]
So one of my favorite things to think about is politics. I feel kinda guilty admitting that, as it’s given much more attention and importance than I feel it deserves. At the same time, it’s been a long time since I’ve had such mixed feelings about an election. Two years ago, I believed Obama was […]
Took a lot of pictures this evening from Rosslyn and Washington. Still trying to get the perfect artsy DC photos to hang in my office. Not convinced that I’m there yet, but still enjoyed a beautiful evening out and about. Photography is definitely one way that I worship. Also gotta love being minutes from the […]
Had an awesome time last night with the G703 leadership talking about prayer and, more importantly, praying. Definitely looking forward to being part of what God is going to do this year! Now to him who is able to do more than we can ask or even imagine to him be the power in Christ […]
Back in 2005, I wrote about Batman Begins, which truly blew me away. I left believing that I could be Batman. Ever since seeing the trailer for The Dark Knight a couple of months ago, I’ve been waiting to see the next installation in the series. Finally made it out Friday night. A week since […]
I’ve updated this site to the latest version of WordPress (the software I run), which also meant updating my gallery software, most of my WordPress plugins, and fixing a corrupted table in my WordPress database. But now I’m up to date! My main incentive for getting all up to date was to enable mobile blogging […]
I’m currently in Jacksonville doing training sessions for work. After training today, I made it out to Jacksonville Beach and then enjoyed the downtown riverfront at night. Today, I’ll share some beach pictures.
I live in a town. In Virginia, towns are located inside counties and are below the county level of government. It appears that Fairfax county (which contains 3 towns and roughly 21,000 voters – ~1 million total county population) requires all town candidates to run as independents. I was planning to vote in the Vienna […]
You call a plumber for an estimate on some work and they refer you to another plumber. The main sewer line in my house needs replacing. It’s going to be an expensive job, so I’m trying to be an intelligent homeowner and get some quotes on the work. I’ve been told by a commercial contractor […]
