Thank you to all my friends, fans and followers for helping make 2011 such a successful year. With your help and support, I was able to turn to my business as a means of not only keeping the bills paid, but being able to pay for my copays, premiums and other medical expenses leading up…

Christmas Recap
In the excitement of getting my ring, I haven’t even talked about anything else from Christmas yet. We got up at 6am. Took our turkey out of the brine we had it in overnight. (Using, of course, Alton Brown’s recipe.) Got it prepped and in the oven. Then, we did out Christmas gift exchange since…

Christmas Eve
Shopping is done. Presents are wrapped. All the bills are paid and there’s even a little left in the bank. Life’s not too bad, especially given how insurmountable it all looked a few short months ago. We’ll start the turkey brine as soon as I post this. Tomorrow morning, we cook the 20lb bird, have…
