The boyfriend (Michael) and I tend to cook quite a bit. It’s usually fairly simple, and mostly on the fly. Recipes aren’t all that common, though we will sometimes take suggestions from the recipes at Publix. In any case, I’d like to share some of my favorites when we make them.

One thing you should know: nothing is exact. More often than not, the ingredients we use aren’t the freshest, best quality (such as frozen chicken or cheap spices), and we don’t have exact measurements for anything. I tend to make things that taste good instead of things that are exactly perfect. Onward to Recipe #1!

Simple-Dreams.com is all new. This month, we’re celebrating our fifth year on the web, so we’re planning on changing things around a bit. Please excuse the mess as we edit, change, and re-design.

We’re changing the focus of the site from it’s previous incarnation as strictly portfolio-related, to something a little more interesting. Photo stories, geeky news articles, plus all the fun wallpapers and icons and tutorials you’ve seen around over the years will be showing up over the coming months.

If you’re interested in getting some Photoshop work done, please Contact Me.

I’ve spent the past week playing a lot of Sims 2. I’ve got a whole neighborhood filled to the brim with Harry Potter characters (and the family made up of parents Elrond and Galadriel, with teens Legolas and Arwen. Legolas is dating Luna Lovegood.), but my favorite house to play is the Snape house.

See, Snape married Lily, who moved into the Snape house with young son Harry. Snape’s a complete grouch, with no nice points in the least. He’s completely serious, too, with no playful points. So why on earth would Snape be one of my more interesting Sims?

Dragon*Con was mostly a mess this year. A lot of the space was non-existent in the Marriott due to construction, but the Hilton was deserted at nights. I’m hoping that with better space management next year, things will be better. The best parts, though, were meeting Michael’s friends and playing Are You a Werewolf (and Reaver, earlier in the evening) with complete strangers. LOVE that game.

Adam told me I need to deal with my fear. As such, I have re-created last night’s incident, in an attempt to face the terror and overcome it.

Tonight, the part of the roach will be played by Chewbacca.
