Pepper Boats

Looking for a recipe for something to bring to a German themed gathering this weekend and after ruling out the normal deviled eggs or pickle roll ups, I came across this (pictured on left) from http://mybestgermanrecipes.com/2011/04/24/pepper-boats/


I made a few small changes from the original...

What to Blog About?

While searching for ideas for posts I came to several conclusions. First of all, there are a lot of blog posts about blog ideas. Unfortunately for me they were way to general of ideas to spark anything significant to write about. A majority of them listed basic things such as; write about how to do something, write about an upcoming event or something that is changing in your life, review a product or service, write a top 5 or 10 or whatever list, and so on, when really I was looking for a specific idea to spark some writing. Not that they aren't good ideas to get someone going, I was just looking for something a little more focused or specific. I'm not as creative as I once was when I was younger. Besides, there really isn't anything all that exciting going on or upcoming in my life that I'm aware of at the moment, and I'm sure no one wants to hear a boring story about updating my resume for the hundredth time and continuing the job hunt. It makes me sleepy just thinking about having to write about it. Then there is also always the possibility that I was just searching in the wrong places.

Then two more things hit me...

Introductions

I'm not sure where to start really, and not sure where to go, or where this blog will end up. What I am sure of is that I'm been contemplating doing this for months and decided to go for it, and that a new creative outlet would be good for me. For a moment I thought about dusting off the old LiveJournal, until I went and looked back at it and decided to leave the past in the past and start new.
