all those candy dishes are now, no doubt filled with PINK and RED and WHITE M&Ms for Valentine's day... since you are already on to the next holiday.
I think I'd like to point out to the entire blogosphere that as of Jan 3 you had Valentine Decorations UP!
I love the sane answer and the maternity fashion. :-) Nice.
You have Valentine's stuff up? Wow! I'm just excited for my first Valentine's Day with a date! And a fiance, nonetheless!
Alton Brown is my favortie celebrity chef too.
You probably know this already, but just in case you didn't: he is also a commentator on Iron Chef America.
For some reason, I always think that gig sort of dumbs him down. I mean...how can you go from explaining 50 things about 7 different kinds of salt to "Kitchen Arena"? hahahaha
Ha, that was really funny! I am watching Iron Chef America as I read your comment! :) I love all his little tidbits, too!
You need help eating those M&M's? Maybe your 2006 resolution could be...."eat more sweets"?
That was fun to read.
