my happy destiny

(via letzte-sekunden)

God doing for me what I cannot do for myself: I feel like snot, got up and went to work anyway, discovered I have until Thursday off. So, I’m back home. I will sleep. I will write. I will knit. I will bake. Thanks God.

Kitties for your morning smile.

Beetles Die During Sex With Beer Bottles

It’s a case of mistaken attraction, because the beer bottles happen to possess all of the features that drive male Australian jewel beetles wild. They’re big and orangey brown in color, with a slightly dimpled surface near the bottom (designed to prevent the bottle from slipping out of one’s grasp) that reflects light in much the same way as female wing covers.

I used to like beer, too. Just not this much.

Made a pie for my honey-bunny’s birthday.  He’s a pie person.  I was a little fast and loose with the crust…didn’t chill it quite well enough, but where it lacks in pretty, I’m sure it’ll make up for in taste.  Just wish I didn’t have to wait until he wakes up to eat it!

Different people have different tastes as far as crust goes, so use your own recipe…but here’s what I did for the filling:

6  c. peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced

1/2  c. sugar

1/2 c. brown sugar

1  tsp. lemon zest

2 tsp. lemon juice

1/2  tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. table salt

3 Tbs. quick cooking tapioca
