Show Some Love

Welcome to my new feature called Buffalove. (I'm not sure if this word is trademarked... so I'm gonna use it until someone tells me not to :).) This is where I'll be showing love for local talents and things that I love around the Rust Belt... and today's belongs to local artist Derek Pershyn...

Derek is a friend of ours, and besides working for New Era has incredible talent designing Munnys... which are self described by their maker, Kid Robot, as "Art Toys." Artists buy blank forms, and use them as a sort of 3D blank canvas! Derek made us a Mini Munny for our wedding, and we so totally heart it...

SO - June is Munny Munth, and right now Kid Robot is having a customizing contest - and Derek has entered with his "Munny in the Moon." Show some Buffalove and head over to vote for some local talent!

(And it's not like some of those other contests that make you sign up and create an account before voting, it's hooked up to Facebook, so it's as simple as clicking "LIKE!" This guy is about halfway down the first page.)

Daring Chef month two

Okay this may be a brief post as I am writing this on my husband's iphone on our way to New York City... WITH my one and only West Coast Parallel! It must have been fate that our yearly get-together-ridiculousathon fell on Daring Chef post weekend, because it meant we got to cook together!!

(yeah, so, i can't figure out how to post pictures in this app, so i'll have to add them later...)

So as daring as we were trying to be, when we couldn't track down any liver on a (last minute) Sunday, we were pretty okay with it.

Recipes and photos to follow.

The mandatory part:our hostesses this month, Evelyne of Cheap Ethnic Eatz, and Valerie of The Chocolate Bunny, chose delicious pate with freshly baked bread as their June Daring Cook's challenge! They've provided us with 4 different pate recipes to choose from and are allowing us to go wild with our homemade bread choice.
