Blogging and Cooking

I set up my Google Reader account today so I can subscribe to my favorite blogs. One of the first ones I attached (after the DPS Technology Challenge, of course) was The Pioneer Woman. She is this lady who lives in the midwest and posts about lots of different things from photography to homeschooling, but the reason I follow her is her recipes. They are incredibly unhealthy but absolutely delicious!

I am not a good cook. Really. And what is sad is I really try - I think I like cooking, but most of the time (unless a significant amount of butter is involved) my food just doesn't turn out that well. What I love about The Pioneer Woman is that the recipes on her blog and the ones in her cookbook have about a million pictures to help you when you are making the recipes. As someone who is not exactly sure what "simmer" and "brown" may mean, pictures are incredibly helpful. If you like to cook, I definitely recommend her site for some yummy dishes.

On a totally different point, I love the Google heading (banner?) for today. It is a series of guitar strings in memory of Les Paul. You can actually use your mouse to "strum" the strings. What a great job it must be to create and design all these different headings. Just like coming up with the crazy names for new nail polish colors. :)
