Ladies and Gentleman...Boys and Girls...I am about to do a magic trick, a fantastical feat no mere mortal has attempted before!!!
Ok, so maybe it isn't a magic trick, and maybe I'm not going to do this exactly right now, but it is an extraordinary task I have yet to try! Tomorrow evening, I will be attempting to roast my very first whole chicken in my oven. Yup. A WHOLE chicken! With all the tips and tricks I have been given by my awesome friends and co-workers (as well as the internet and all of it's usefulness), I am hoping and praying I succeed in producing the most delicious chicken ever tasted. And after bragging so much, I hope I don't get grossed out cleaning out the chicken and dealing with the skin, causing me to back out of my challenge.
I do have one question for all of you... What in the world do I serve with my magnificent, moist, tasty chicken?
UPDATE: Due to feeling like my head was going to explode and my eyes were going to pop out of my head, the chicken did not happen. Maybe next weekend?

Cupcakes, Shoes, and Photography
Lately, I've been doing a lot of thinking about the things that I really enjoy in my life, other than my family and friends. After seriously considering everything that I do and partake in, I have whittled it down to three things: Cooking, Shoes, and Photography.
Cooking: I will really try any recipe once. I find mixing ingredients different ways and substituting to create different unknown results quite entertaining. I can say my boyfriend is a very brave guinea pig, testing everything that comes out of the oven and off the stove. Dare to challenge me to make something?
Shoes: Well this is a given if you know me or have seen my closet. While I may not be able to afford Jimmy Choo's or Christian Loubitan's that are more than twice my mortgage, I find the style I love in more attainable brands, and hopefully on sale. There's something about the perfect shoes that just completes the outfit.
Photography: Believe it or not, I standard taking photography a little more seriously when I was working on a DIY art project for my house. Since then, I have added a handful of pictures here and there and have been able to decorate half of my house with black and white photography. Each photo is something I found beautiful, unique, and worthy of capturing.
While a majority of this blog will cover the three things mentioned above, there may be a few other topics that slip in from time to time.
