Jesus.  I’m still typing 2011 and it’s making me crazy.  This is one time that I wouldn’t mind a chip in my head that would automatically make sure that I put the right date on things and make sure that I spell everything correctly.  Please note I didn’t even mention grammar and punctuation.  I should probably work on that too, but why start now?

Regarding Dinosaurs Can’t Eat Pizza.  I am very happy with it and I think it will be great fun.  I wanted to clarify something because my mother didn’t get the whole thing.  And she’s been asking me repeatedly during the last few days and I’m starting to to get exasperated.

This is not your average food blog because although we love food, we’re not exactly one of those people.  Food blogs are getting as bad as mommy bloggers as in they are over-the-top crazy in every way but good.  We’re just a couple of housewives that cook/bake on a regular basis that thought we would share that chore online. I like the Tandem recipes because it gives us a chance to try new things (Robyn picked a good one for next Monday – I can’t wait to make and try it). We’re not going to be “plating” food or “staging” some kind of bullshit. We just cook and occasionally snap a picture of what we’re doing so everyone reading it can visualize it. And then we write an entry about it. My mom didn’t get the part about the blog entry. She skipped down straight to the recipe and I told her she missed the best part by not reading it. I loved trash-talking Robyn and her gossiping old chickens! We’re not doing it every single day (although today I’ll be posting over there). We’re also not in it for a cookbook deal, a cooking show and/or popping in on a morning program to cook our signature recipe (insert eye roll here). We’re sure as hell not giving away KitchenAid mixers to lure people to our site. As was said before, “The only thing we’re giving away is maybe a good idea for dinner.” That’s Dinosaurs Can’t Eat Pizza. I’m excited to see how it grows.

Moving on…

We are struggling with the whole Podcasting thing. Neither one of us have listened to the very first one yet. We’ve tried doing another one and it was a disaster. We learned a couple of things so far. 1) Make a list of specific talking points. You may veer off in another direction, but if you don’t have that list it will go totally astray. 2) It may be a good idea to learn how to edit. Rick mentioned something during a podcast that was verboten and I was all, “SHUT IT OFF, GODDAMMIT. SHUT.IT.OFF!” It wasn’t as horrifying as what I made it out to be, but it was at the end of a long day and he and I were not communicating very well as it was. I gave up. It’s funny that he and I can sit down and have great conversations and then we’re all, “We should have podcasted this!” But once those microphones come on it turns awkward and weird. We were going to try again last night, but by the time our chores were done it was after 9 and he needed to get Trey from work at 10. By the time we set everything up, it would have been over. But we’re still planning on figuring this all out and getting it done right. Maybe tonight since there isn’t laundry to put away and I already have dinner half made. We’ll see.

In other news, there is none. We’re boring. I’m planning on playing catch-up with The Real Housewives television shows. Shirley has been watching them when I haven’t been around so I don’t play the DVR version of them when she’s around because I don’t want to make her repeat them. It sucks. Rick was supposed to put the DVR up in our bedroom over 2 weeks ago, but that hasn’t happened yet. It has been a bone of contention in my world for a while now. I tell him to write shit down so he remembers. He refuses to write things down and then I get all pissed off and passive aggressive when things not only do not get done, but they are also forgotten about. Makes for an unhappy marriage because it happens ALL THE TIME.

And finally,

Maddy makes an appearance downstairs. She still hates everyone.

I’m outta here.
