Moving Day!

We're live-video-blogging our move - see our pain here.

This table I made for mom for mothers day. She already peeked at it and spoiled her present, but thats ok. I welded the frame together and made pretty unique cut outs for the legs. It was an old piece of Cedar we had for firewood. Looks much better as a table than as a pile of ash.

New Haircut

Have you ever seen a mohawk with dreads before!? It was french braided.

State Fabrication Qualifier

This is me welding for my Regional championships. Unfortunately my team got second by two pionts so we don't qualify for State championships. It was a lot of fun.

Potato Salad FTW

We have to use up the perishable food we have before we move, so I made this super yummy potato salad that turned out so much better than I thought it would--yaay, thanks to Mama for her cooking advice!!! It uses baking potatos, sauteed garlic and onions, the rest of a small bottle of capers and the juice, dill, salt, sugar, white wine vinegar, hard boiled eggs, black pepper, paprika, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing. Cool, now all I have to do is decide whether I want to throw away the rest of our half-full jars of condiments, or pawn them off on my coworkers and uncle... Hmmmmm. Wish I could share it over the blog! Oh well...

Paul Bunyan Brownies

I made some dark chocolate brownies with dark chocolate chips last night. Bailey asked if they were more chocolatey than Black Forest cake. I told her that my brownies were like Paul Bunyan, because they'd chop down stupid Black Forest cake in a fight and burn it in the campfire to make more Paul Bunyan Brownies. Yes: they are so chocolatey, they self-propagate.

And don't even get me started about how Paul Bunyan Brownies feel about German Chocolate... achtung!
