A Work in Progress: merry christmas!

the holidays have me feeling uninspired. so do a ton of failures in the kitchen lately. it seems like every recipe i try either falls short or flat on it's ass. with another long weekend here i am going to try a few other things:

monkey bread (if i screw this up i am officially never baking again)
meatload (pioneer woman)
fried chicken (paula deen)

as you can see, resolutions start monday :)

are you making black eyed peas and collard greens this weekend? i think i might pick some up...my horoscope promised wealth would be coming my way and so a little extra help couldn't hurt, could it?

say hi to my tree, decorated by my husband who is good with these things.
