Deliciousness!

February 27th, 2010

As per requests we’ve added a recipes page which links to my profile with Culinary Culture. So I’ll be trying to add a new recipe a week of something we’ve tried out and were amazed by. This week’s addition is for the turkey and bean chimichangas that Chase was bragging about in yesterday’s post. I think I might have to grab the other half out of the freezer for him next week because he keeps talking about them.

If you want to see a specific recipe uploaded just let me know!

Having Fun in Sunny (but Cold) Florida

November 28th, 2009

Well, we all have been having tons of fun in Florida.  Thanksgiving day was a great time with the family and friends, and of course the delicious meal most of us helped cook.  Yesterday, everyone except Dad went to the Universal theme parks.  We went on as many rides as we could.  We were never able to get on the new roller coaster, Rock It, because it always had an 1.5 hour+ wait time.  That’s too long.  Today we are heading out to look at any manatees that may be in the river and maybe do a bit of shopping.  Unfortunately, our trip comes to an end tomorrow when we have to head back to VA.

I have uploaded the pictures take so far.  Here’s a link:

On a side note with the blog, we have everything finished.  The pictures are now being hosted on Picasa and are linked through using a couple of plugins.  It makes things very nice, fast, and extremely easy to use (Katie needs that).

Back to Florida

November 24th, 2009

So we finished re-uploading the pictures last night. We’ve switched over to using Picassa and changed around the theme a bit. I hope everyone enjoys the changes to the Photo Gallery.

Since then, we’ve started our drive down to Florida. Mary Jane and her boyfriend, Adam, are tagging along so Chase doesn’t have just me to keep him company and awake during the drive. We’re currently relaxing at the hotel in Richmond Hill for the night. Tomorrow we’ll finish the rest of the drive.

Update Part 2

September 27th, 2009

Katie and I are still working on re-uploading the pictures.  It is time consuming and exceptionally slow given the speed that our hosting runs at.  We also had to change the theme one more time, as the previous one was not wanting to play nice with the new photo gallery plugin.  It will be done soon.

Updates

September 8th, 2009

I have changed the theme of the blog as the other one was causing it to load extremely slow (though I’m not sure this will improve performance, it may be a hosting issue).  As a consequence, the photo gallery looks rather bad.  I will have to do some customizations before it will look proper.  End of the week. . .maybe. Update: We are getting rid of Gallery2 and using a new plugin for Wordpress for the photogallery.  We’ll see how fast we can rebuild the photo gallery.
