I think I may have a problem. The worst part is the fact that I have brought Brenda down with me. So, I am here to admit to the world that I am addicted to the food network. Well I suppose it is food in general.

Lately I have begun to notice that we are using the food network as a crutch. Our DVR is full of food channel shows, we turn to the food channel whenever a show we normally watch at night is a rerun. On weekends the TV is on the food channel all day long, usually while we are in the kitchen cooking up something inspired by one of their shows.

But it has gotten worse. A while ago I started putting recipes up on the web site just for my own convenience, but it has grown more than I expected. Now I am also taking pictures of the food that we cook, and posting the pictures along with the recipes. I have even been submitting the pictures to this cool site I found (tastespotting.com) that is a mouth-watering photo collection of recipes, cooking, baking, kitchen adventures. I was so excited the first time one of my submissions was accepted. I had a couple of rejections before this picture and recipe got accepted.

I am not sure what to do about this addiction. Maybe I'll mull it over this weekend while we bake some muffins, or try some new recipe. Whatever we decide to cook, you can probably bet that I'll be taking pictures of it, and submitting them to tastespotting.

It's nice to start seeing signs of spring. The lake may still be frozen, but the snow is mostly gone, the birds are more active, and it just seems like spring is here. One of my favorite parts of spring is seeing the sunsets start to move across the horizon toward the north. looking out from the camp across the lake you can really tell what time of year it is by where the sun is setting. It has been creeping it's way back to the warmer weather area for a while now. It is almost back in sight for the TupperCam. I happened to look at the TupperCam last night at the right time, and was able to capture this image of the sunset.



A couple of more weeks and the lake should be thawed. in no time we'll be back out in the kayaks snapping tons of pictures again. I love summers at the lake!

I know, I know... I haven't posted anything new in a while, and some of you have been bugging me about that. We just haven't had a lot going on lately. Mom and Dad are home, so that's good. And we have been planning a trip to Cleveland. That should be a blast. We got to see Sherri, Kevin, Nyah and Sage a couple of weeks ago. I am trying to plan a couple of weekends out to CT to help them with some tile, but otherwise, it's been pretty quiet.

So I guess I'll talk about the Cleveland plans a bit. We are planning a long weekend at the end of May when the Yankees are in Cleveland. We already have tickets to two games. Well, not just tickets, great seats (I hope.) We are really looking forward to it. Hopefully the Yankees can put together a better season than they had last year. While we are there we are going to try to see as much as possible. The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, some great food, maybe some non-sporting event entertainment. so if you have any recommendations of thing we shouldn't miss in Cleveland, leave me a comment... and I will try to lead a more interesting life between now and then so I have something new to post.

I finally got Dave to give me some video of Tess. This one is the Christening. I'll also be posting some from her 1st Birthday soon.

Enjoy!
