well, then.

so i've been banned from posting photos.
unless, of course, i spend money to purchase more storage.

HAR.

so now what.

guess i'll desperately whip out my credit card like a pathetic photo-obsessed-sickly-addicted mother and buy whatever needs to be bought. (after freaking out for 30 minutes frantically looking for my "lost" wallet...since this is the Year of Lost Wallets. whew. found. stroller pockets.)

and now i have to wait 24 hours before my "new storage" is released to me.
good ole Google.

so, since i cannot really make you care about what i'm saying, since it's not illustrated -- i'll just post some recipes. YAY! FOOD! and anything that so much as mentions the words GOAT and CHEESE....is worthy fodder for discussion, IMPO.
