I am very happy to say my service provider got everything straightened out. I got moved to a new server and I don't know what changed but I heard from a few people who previously couldn't view my site but are now seeing it. Yay!

Have you ever had a Kool-Aid Pickle? I haven't, but apparently they are gaining in popularity in down south.

All you have to do is  “... pull the pickles from the jar, cut them in halves, make double-strength Kool-Aid, add a pound of sugar, shake and let it sit — best in the refrigerator — for about a week."

I must say I am intrigued. This joins the ranks of such food oddities as turducken, deep fried oreos and oh hey... deep fried pickles. What is it about pickles that make people want to take them to the next level? What about ice tea pickles? Coca Cola pickles... oooooh!

I have started making a frog amigurumi (Japanese art of crocheting ridiculously cute stuffed animals) at Sit & Knit.

This is his head. 

Aaron thought I was making banister finial cozies.

The problem is my service provider... but they have been very good about communicating with me. My account is being moved over to a new server... (hopefully for better performance... yay!) and should be fixed in a day. Until then I have added my images through flickr.

These pictures were taken in the same day.

Further proof that bugs attract other bugs.

Here are a few more goodies I got at the yard sale yesterday. 

Three vintage cookbooks ($1 each) and a small vintage Pyrex frying pan with removable handle ($4!). 

I am so pleased with myself.

Tina, Shruti and I went to a ginormous neighborhood yard sale today. I hit the jackpot with a Pyrex Pink Gooseberry Cinderella Large Mixing Bowl, a Pyrex 1.5 Qt Divided Cinderella Oval Casserole, a vintage aluminum cake carrier, and a gravy boat.

I really needed a gravy boat. 

I really didn't need another cake carrier. Hah.

The George Eastman House is going to have an Ansel Adams exhibit this month. To kick it off they had a black and white party where attendees were encourage to wear black and white and bring their black and white pets. 

Oscar is more tan-ish so we stuffed him in a black t-shirt and took him. He had a good time sniffing all the black and white critters.
