Odds & Ends
Sorry about that…
I didn’t post for a few days and let a couple of my giveaways go way over! Sorry, no I didn’t fall off the edge of the earth and I didn’t drown either although sometimes I feel like I’m drowning in work. So here’s what’s been going on…
My baby turned 12 and it takes us almost a week to celebrate her birthday. It culminated with this humongous pumpkin shaped birthday cake that the celebrant decorated herself. At her request, the bottom layer is a devil’s food cake and the top layer is angel’s food cake. Do you see where she’s going with this yet?

Yeah, she’s taken Halloween as her own personal holiday.
On the college application front, my oldest daughter is a senior this year so you know what that means. Right now we are up to our necks in college applications, looking at apartments for rent in the towns of her chosen schools, and of course there are the dreaded achievement tests, the SAT and the ACT. That and that they all cost money to get done.
So sorry, if I’m a bit behind my book reviews and giveaway wrap ups. If I can just stop procrastinating, I would be catching up right now
Stay tuned for more reviews and giveaways!

Our latest foodie discovery is Sabra’s hummus. We got to try it out thanks to the Buzz Cooperative and now you can try it out too. Just enter the Sabra Hummus Giveaway on our food blog, Cooked From the Heart.
It is really a wonderful product. I tried the original plain hummus and the spinach and artichoke flavored hummus. I loved the slight spiciness in the spinach artichoke one but my girls preferred the plain one. I think they are just used to the plain stuff, you know. We eat hummus at home all the time. It’s great for snacks and pretty much mounts just about any vehicle of your choosing to perfection. Our favorite mounts for hummus are fresh vegetables, pita wedges, crackers, and in this last instance, on bruschetta!

Summary
Julie & Julia, the bestselling memoir that’s “irresistible….A kind of Bridget Jones meets The French Chef” (Philadelphia Inquirer), is now a major motion picture. Julie Powell, nearing thirty and trapped in a dead-end secretarial job, resolves to reclaim her life by cooking in the span of a single year, every one of the 524 recipes in Julia Child’s legendary Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Her unexpected reward: not just a newfound respect for calves’ livers and aspic, but a new life-lived with gusto. The film version is written and directed by Nora Ephron and stars Amy Adams as Julie and Meryl Streep as Julia.
