I Heart Websites

Hello good bloggie neighbors! Since my creativity is on strike, I’ll have to borrow a topic from Poe’s box smile

What’s your current favorite website and why?

Hrmmm, that’s a tough question. There are so many.

Well, I’ve been visiting Google a lot lately, but it certainly doesn’t count as my favourite.

Since I’ve been looking for design inspiration and getting back to my fine arts roots, a lot of design and writing sites have graced the presence of my laptop screen. Of course, the famous CSS Zen Garden is in the top three considering I’m working on a submission. smile

But, even CSSZG can’t quite be listed as my favourite site of the moment.

Okay, I have it! Amazon. It has to be my favourite site of the moment. They collect too much of my money not to. smile

And for the curious, this is Teli from Mild Insanity who is also hosting FFAF on her blog, so feel free to stop by and leave your virtual footprint.

an easy breezy summe recipie

Luka’s “Easy as Pie” Key Lime Pie

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup key lime juice (more/less depening on taste)
1 (9-inch) graham cracker piecrust
Whipped cream, to garnish

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
In a mixer on low-medium speed, blend the milk and egg yolks at low speed until smooth. Add the key lime juice and finish blending.

Gently pour the mixture into the piecrust and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for another 15 minutes before refrigerating.

Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before serving. Serve cold and top with fresh whipped cream.

SO so SO delish! And wicked easy too.  Oh, I’m Luka and my blog (http://www.incogblogo.net/) is ALSO doing FFAF grin

Freaky…

Okay. This was just freaky. I did this twice. Crazy squirrel got it right both times. :huh:

See how you do against the psychic gopher….

Freaky Psychic Gopher

Unlike most of the links on this site, this one opens in a new window so you can come back and tell me how you did. LOL
Oh, and if you figure out how to *stump* the gopher, I want to know that, too.

Thinking…

So, I’ve been thinking about creating a new layout for my site. Don’t get me wrong. I <3 this one that Betty made me. I <3 her very much for succumbing to my please. But, I'm a strange sort and I adore being able to make my own stuff. So, I went about, designing a new layout. I love the colors. And my dear Luka kindly contributed the image. Now, it's full size, so I've thumbnailed and linked it out. (=

I love the swirlies!

Now. Here’s the problem…

CSS and I are not friends. 😐 Sure, I can blunder about and accomplish simple things, but getting a layout to position properly? And get all the rest of it to layer and repeat correctly? Oy. OY! ): I need help. 😐 Anyone want to lend a girl a hand?
