This is a fast and easy (not to mention cheap) way to make your own cake plates/tiered dessert platters. Here are two that I made to use on a pink and brown baby shower dessert table: Step 1: Acquire glass pieces I went to a thrift store and searched around until I found what I needed: 1-2 clear glass plates (as [...]

Tim at the Seal Beach Pier in the late evening

This soup is something that I cook for dinner a lot. Thanks to my crockpot, I can put it together in a few minutes when I get home from work in the morning, let it cook all day while I sleep, and then wake up to delicious soup in the evening. Tim loves it too, [...]
