A Tossed Salad of Memories and a Surprise Trip South

More Yesterday Than Today

The beautiful sunset season is upon us in the DC area
I was reading the comments (all 2 of them) from Saturday’s blog post this morning when a Philippine memory related to Auntie Anne’s hit me. I’d think the memory would have been sparked when I was making or eating the pretzels [...]

A Saturday Snack

Auntie Frannie’s Pretzels?

Home Made Pretzels
There’s nothing like a hot pretzel, is there? Tonight is not a broadcast night, no Justopia.com or Justin.tv for me, but I couldn’t resist shooting a few shots of these DEElicious pretzels I made for a snack when I got home from work this afternoon. It’s a yeast dough [...]

Shopping, a Trip to … McDonald’s! And Bulletin SPAM

News Flash!
It appears that I am not the only one that does not like the new Bulletin Feature that was launched this afternoon on JTV. I am happy with the ability to block people from sending highlights to YouTube, but the bulletins are just plain annoying. It’s SPAM, plain and simple. I [...]

JTV’s Looking to Add to the Team, More JTV Publicity and A Memory Sparked

Blog

Chicken Milanese, Risotto with Mushrooms and Bacon (alas, no Pancetta in the fridge) and steamed broccoli with toasted almonds
I like to check in on the JTV blog on a regular basis. It’s a helpful place to keep up to date with information about the product, the company or individuals. When I checked in [...]

A Day Away (mostly) From Technology and No Cooking Dinner Tonight and a FuelMyBlog/TSheets.com Contest!

A Battlefield Away

We didn’t take time to get out of the car and shoot photos on this trip, so what I got was all just “drive-by”
You’re never too far from a battlefield when you head out on the road in the Washington, DC metro area. That was what we did today. Late last [...]

Looking for a Dummies Book I Can Relate to, Is There a Dr. In the House? and a Jonas Brothers Note

The Secret

A cupcake for my niece’s birthday
It’s clear now that not disclosing my dirty little Justopian Life secret is having a negative impact on my life. How, you might ask? It’s simple really. I follow a few food blogs. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, my sister – yes, the one [...]

I Should Have Been a CIA Operative

Weekend Guests

It was another Indian feast and this time we made home made Samosas. DEElicious!
It was a great weekend, but I am exhausted! We cooked and we ate and we cleaned up and we cooked some more and then we went to the supermarket and we cooked and we ate and … well, [...]

Time Off

No Post
I’ll be back on Monday night.  In the meantime, check out the photos I’ve posted on Flickr of our Passover eating extravaganza tonight

Photo Memories, Gearing up for a Great Holiday and an Unannounced Justopia.com Contest. Read on!

Sunsets

When I began blogging a year ago I needed to break up the massive amounts of text with photos. Before I began shooting my meals I would take photos of the incredible sunsets I am lucky to see from my balcony each night as the sun makes it’s way north. I noticed that [...]

It’s Mostly About the Food Tonight – Nothing to Watch on JTV and a Welcome JTV Visitor

No Viewing
I didn’t tune into JTV today until I came home from work and then it was just for a brief few minutes. I had some time once I prepped for dinner, but when I took a look, there was nothing that caught my attention. I tuned into Phil’s weekly Help Chat, [...]

What Would Dr. Seuss Say?

I read this post during my broadcast tonight because I think poetry deserves to be heard. I did some editing after the show to polish the piece and you can read the current version below. There is a link to the channel within the post.  I have a problem with people that feel [...]

JTV Invades My Dreams — Again!

A Million Old Soldiers Will Fade Away, but a Dream Goes On Forever …

Osso Buco and Zuchini-Feta Fritters
Today’s post about dreams made me think of Todd Rundgren. If you scroll about 1/4 of the way down in the Wiki article about Todd, you will get a glimpse into the major inspiration for the Justopia [...]

Another Day

I was going to write about this awesome JTV-related dream I had last night, post some dinner photos and call it a night, but I got sucked into ECV and eventually into KrystylTV and before I knew it the time was just after 2am.  I was exhausted 10 hours ago and it’s difficult to believe [...]

Why is So Much Clarification Needed in an Online World and Have You Ever Heard of Bamboo Rice?

NOTE: It’s been a very long time since I’ve done an audio version of a blog post, but somehow, the subject matter tonight just seemed to warrant it. I hope it helps to clarify my point — it’s about being understood.
You can listen to the blog post here:

JTV, KFC and Justopia Cooks in the Same Blog Post?

Time Off
Today was my first “official” Saturday off. No Justopia Cooks broadcast. I spent some time editing the schedule so people would not be confused (hopefully) and I went in to check and see if anyone had gone into the site or the channel on JTV to look for a show, but [...]
