harry P polyvores

a collection of all my Harry Potter inspired sets on Polyvore. I clearly wish I were a Hufflepuff, but Potions would be my best subject. Deathly Hallows Part II only eight months away now.

salmon jalapeño burgers

I have spent 17 years of my life as a vegetarian. In the last five years I have been very slowly integrating meat into my diet. I have still yet to eat beef, except for one single bite of steak drunkenly fed to me by my best friend Darcy. My boyfriend, Bill, finds it appalling that I have never once in my life eaten a hamburger. My retort is that there are plenty of great burgers that are made without beef! So we made these delicious salmon jalapeño burgers with bell peppers, pepper-jack cheese, avocado and of course green chile. Yum!☺

stamp collection

I recently went to Oklahoma to visit my mother. On her to-do list of things I must accomplish while I was home was to go through boxes of my old belongings and decide which of my childhood treasures were worth keeping, and what could be tossed. I came across my beloved stamp collection that I started in third grade. It was actually a pretty amazing collection, it includes stamps from all over the world. It is almost impossible to pick a favorite. I wonder any of these could be worth money someday...? Who knows, but I can simply appreciate these gorgeous stamps for the stellar designs. Please enjoy these selections from my childhood stamp collection.
