The Better Granola and Summer Resolution

In attempts to lower my sugar intake, I chose to make my own granola. Apparently store bought granola is riddled with sugar and all sorts of stuff I shouldn’t be putting into my body. Making it from scratch not only allows me to know every ingredient that goes in, but it also gives me control over h

Finals are over! Time for some ice cream with a BANG!

Sorry to have ignored you for so long, readers. My cooking experiences during finals were basically either 1) asking Matt to cook dinner for the week, 2) baking potatoes, and 3) Getting together leftovers from when Matt cooked and making a soup out of the random ingredients.

Mediocracy at it’s Finest.

So, my last post was, perhaps, less than “sunshine, lollipops and rainbows”. I was about to apologize, but I think I did enough of that already. You get the picture; life is a bit different now. I do, however, apologize if anyone read my last post and went into crisis mode, under the impression that

Obama’s defense budget ignores the law and reality; increases uncertainty

President Obama’s newest defense budget request for 2014 reminds Washington that these documents are more than a set of numbers. They are also political statements of priorities.
