I’m mostly taking the day off to have a lovely little valentine’s day with the family… In the snow… What’s up with SNOW in Georgia, anyway? This is the second one we’ve had this year!
But a few little things:
- How cool, Laughing Squid linked to the Tentacle Hugs v-day card! (We heart Laughing Squid!)
- Be sure to check out the valentines, Chinese new year, and mardi-gras themed recipes at Foodwhirl!
Here’s a roundup of Valentine’s related projects on Dabbled, too!

Whoohoo! The new team food blog, Foodwhirl.com, officially launches today! It’s taken about a month for me to assemble this great team, and design and build the site, and now it’s ready for prime time… go check it out…
Since I can’t say it any better than the About page, here’s what the site is all about:
A little while ago, we had the idea to pull together real cooks like ourselves–who have lives and families, but still want to be creative and fun in the kitchen–and ponder the answer to that eternal question… “What’s for Dinner??” So we found some cool…

I mentioned in November that I was thinking about a new food-related group blog. With the holidays, that fell to the back burner, but now that we have a fresh new year, we’re starting up work on this new project. So, I figured I’d give you guys a heads up on what’s coming!
This new blog will try to answer the eternal question of ‘What’s for Dinner?’, with recipes, how-to’s, menus, techniques, and so forth. We’ll cover things like date-night meals, kid-friendly dinners, party fare, and budget friendly eating. It will be a group blog, with bloggers from different areas and…

I spent most of the morning drawing about 60 little pictures that are part of a great little stocking stuffer game I’ll be posting a ‘how-to’ for in the next few days. Here’s a little preview of some of the drawings… I was pretty impressed with my marathon 6 hour session — I really DID have other things I should have been doing today!

Reader Lindsay, of the lovely blog Shrimp Salad Circus, emailed me the other day asking where my link buttons were. Well, I’m embarrassed to say that they have been MIA since the move to Wordpress months ago.
So, I figured I’d through a few up here for your stealing pleasure, both standard linking buttons, and “I was Featured” buttons. Let me know if you want a different size of any of them, the sizes are noted below each thumbnail…

I love MAKE mag, in fact I purchased a subscription for my sweetie a few years ago–it’s chock full of fabulous projects, not page after page of ads like most mags around. So I’m really excited that one of our projects is in this month’s Toy issue!

We’re meeting up at DragonCon! Renee from The Domestic Scientist & and I are planning a meet-up… And if you’re going to be there, we’d love to see you too! We are going to meet at 1 p.m. on Saturday at the Pulse Bar in the Marriott Marquis–it’s on the upper floor of the Atrium I think. I said we should make a sign “Geek Crafters Unite!”, but if we don’t get around to it, just look for us!
For reference, this is a vague facsimile of what I look like –>
No stalking me now,…
