I might have cracked the code. Well... I'm getting close at least.
I made fried potatoes yesterday for a visiting friend and we went crazy over them. I seasoned them with Creole seasoning (because it was what I had) but I followed the tried-and-true Mammaw process.
Check it out.

Pumpkin Cupcakes and a Call to Action
Hello, all.
Just in case you don't follow my blog, Is This Thing On?, I wanted to tell you about a little blog contest I've entered.
Last weekend, I made A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Cakes with my college roommate, Kira. We then entered this Pumpkin/Vanilla Swirled cupcake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese buttercream into a cupcake contest called Cupcake Hero.
Cupcake Hero posts an ingredient each month that all cupcake bakers are encouraged to bake into a cupcake in a new and exciting way. This month, the ingredient was pumpkin and the added theme was Halloween. All the pumpkin cupcakes have now been posted to I <3 Cuppycakes' blog and people (like you!) will be able to vote for their favorite cupcakes until October 21st at midnight.
So... if you would... go to the Cupcake Hero post and check out the entries for this month. If you like my Dream is a Wish Your Heart Cakes, then all you have to do is click the bubble beside "Amanda of Is This Thing On?" in the box on the right hand side. No log in, sign in, sign up required.
Thanks, guys!
And... in the interest of full disclosure, voting is totally anonymous, so if you vote for another cupcake, I'll never know! :)

Thank You Blogpost
In case you haven't seen it, I introduced my KitchenAid mixer to the blogworld today.
Right Here
So thank you, Gramma and Papa, for my awesome new mixer!!! As you can see in the comments on the blog already (4 at the time of this posting), mixers mean a lot to foodie bloggers like me.
This mixer will allow me to beat things and walk away. No more hand mixer that may or may not tip over a bowl of batter when I step away. No more breaks for the right arm or awkward turns taken with the left.
In a word, this mixer is fab.
Check out the other blog for pics!

Blog Reminder
Hello all :)
I just wanted to drop it in to remind you that even though my blogging has slowed down of late, I'm still posting on my main blog.
Today I posted about chocolate chip cookies that have Oreos in them. Now if that isn't the all-American cookie, I don't know what is!
Anyway, add my blog to your readers or your favorites or heck... just memorize the address. But do stop by and comment. I check that blog not unlike an obsessed loon, so I'll see your comments right away.
I hope you are all doing well and getting more sleep than I am!
Here's the address:

You can click it or copy and paste it into your browser. It's up on you.

Let's Blog!
Okay family...here's the deal. We are about to be and are already scattered from each other again. Let's get back to posting on here so that we can stay in touch better, as well as, entertain one another:) We all have something to say or show from time to time. For instance me, I still don't know how to put a picture on here but I can certainly tell something of my day. You - you may have a picture that needs to be shown. DO IT!!
So, here's my little story from the day. I asked one my daycare providers for a copy of her fire inspection report. This was something she had already been issued a violation from the last time I was there because she didn't have one done within the past year. She proudly produced immediately a report and I read the date 8/3/2008...wait 2008??? At this point she goes into a tizzy looking all around and finally ends up calling the fire marshall's office to ask them to fax her another report. When they asked her why she didn't have the copy they left, her response was "I don't know. I guess the printer took it." What does that mean??? I decided to text this story to a friend and I think her response was appropriate..."it means they're idiots". Life is full of them, isn't it?
