Its hard to get a decent cup of coffee in Shepardsville, KY. We heard that the golden arches is giving Dunkin D a run for their money when it comes to the ultimate joe. So Kelli and I took the Dodge Magnum and hit the pavement. Look who we ran into !

"Freecycle"

I'm told I am a "connector". I connect people to things. This is something i think is really cool. Its called Freecycle.com.

Taken from their Homepage...

The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,217 groups with 4,320,000 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer (them's good people). Membership is free. To sign up, find your community by entering it into the search box above or by clicking on “Browse Groups” above the search box. Have fun!

Teens for Jeans at Aéropostale

I think this is a really cool idea. I'm really proud to be a part of it. Plus- I HEART RACHEL BILSON !

1 in 3 homeless people in the US are under the age of 18. To help fight this problem, Aero is pitching in.

Heres what you do. Bring in any pair of gently used jeans to any Aeropostale store and they will donate them to a local homeless shelter. As a thank you , Aeropostale will give you 20% off youe purchase of a new pair of jeans between 1/22 and 2/10.

To further support the cause, Aero is donating 10,000 pairs of jeans to teen homelessness.

And here it is ... Egg-cellent !

Egg-zackly:

Saw this recipe for mini frittatas. Prosciutto and smoked mozzarella fritatas made in muffin pans. There's pasta in it too ! I guess you can substitute the type of meat and cheese used and add whatever other ingredients that you like. Thanks Giada !

1/2 pound linguine pasta
7 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cream
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
6 ounces diced prosciutto
5 ounces smoked mozzarella cheese, diced (1 cup diced)
1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Special equipment: 1 regular-sized muffin tin for 12 muffins

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander. While the pasta is still in the colander, use kitchen sheers to cut the linguine into smaller pieces. The pasta should measure about 3 cups.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the muffin tin.

In a blender combine the eggs, milk, cream, and mascarpone cheese. Blend until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the cut pasta, prosciutto, mozzarella cheese, Asiago cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until the ingredients are combined.

Using a 1/3 cup measure, fill each of the muffin tins until both the pasta and liquid are at the top. Bake until firm and cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 3 minutes before removing from the tin. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

Some random thoughts on blogging

I wish Dawn would just create a new blog with her gmail account instead of sitting here, killing herself over what her old log in was. She only has ONE entry!!!
