A collection of interesting items I found in my daily reading.

Pear Haymaker Cocktail Recipe – Saveur.com – October 29, 2011 – Yum!
Planting Daffodil Bulbs – October 29, 2011
Planting Daffodil Bulbs – October 29, 2011
Schmap Releases Tool to Break Down the Demographics of Your Twitter Followers – October 28, 2011 – Another new media/social media tool to check out. I am never sure which ones I will continue to use on a regular basis, but I think it is important to check out new services as they appear. It will be interesting to see what information it turns up about my Twitter followers.
Baked Peanut Butter Apple Oatmeal – October 27, 2011
Here and Heaven (Live) – October 27, 2011
The LED Video Game on a House! – Punkin Chunkin' – October 27, 2011
Strawberry Soda – October 27, 2011 – Great idea to make soda syrups at home. I love a good fizzy beverage at times and it would be great to make them with some real fruit to bring a small amount of healthiness to them.
Royal Society opens archive, kills productivity – October 26, 2011 – Knowledge should be free for everyone! What a great resource. I know I will be spending some time poking around the archives. It will be great to see some of the original papers discussed in the recent BBC docu on electricity – Shock and Awe.
Make your own fog machine for $5 – October 26, 2011 – A bit DIY for most people, but could be an interesting experiment to do with the kids and use for the Halloween haunt.
Who Needs Milk? – October 26, 2011
Top 5 easy homemade cheeses – October 25, 2011

With Halloween fast approaching, I’m sure that some of you are still trying to figure out ways to make your house spookier than ever. Scary decorations are nice, and having the perfect lighting helps, but [...]

A collection of interesting items I found in my daily reading.

a big slice of autumn: apple & cheddar quick bread – October 24, 2011
Strawberry-Nutella Thumbprint Cookies | Sinfully Spicy – October 23, 2011 – Interesting twist on other thumbprint and chocolate kiss cookies, although I think it would work just as well with a kiss in the center, too. I like the inclusion of even a small amount of “real” fruit. I can use all the good eating help I can get (LAUGH)
Vanilla Rich Chocolate Chip Cookies – October 22, 2011
The Cookie Skillet Recipe From Heaven – October 22, 2011 – I could see doing this for friends as a sort of showy end to a meal.
Using Unconference in the Enterprise – Manifesting Social Business – October 22, 2011 – Good article on unconferences and how they can be applied
Apple Cider Syrup – October 21, 2011 – Another yummy one for the “To Try” recipe box.
Lemon Makes Lemonade Out of Your Electronic & Paper Receipts – October 19, 2011
New media bypassing TV channels, book publishers – October 18, 2011 – An interesting story. I had been wondering what was taking these large companies so long to dive into production themselves. I think it is only a natural progression of the changes new media is having on the market.

A collection of interesting items I found in my daily reading.

Luma Video Camera for iPhone Stabilizes Your Video, Kills Shaky-Cam [Video] – October 15, 2011 – This video stabilization app is free for a short time, so why not try i out? I need to give it a full test tomorrow as it works best in bright light.
A Collection of Beautiful, Free Fonts – October 13, 2011 – Sometimes a new font is just the thing to activate your design thinking. There are quite a few interesting ones here.
Cream Cheese Sausage Balls – Football Friday | Plain Chicken – October 13, 2011 – These look dangerous to the waistline. A “party only” food if I have ever seen one.
ROSEMARY FLATBREAD – October 13, 2011 – I used to make something like this years ago from a recipe by a friend. I think it is time to bring it back onto the menu.
Pumpkin Gingersnap Cookies – October 12, 2011
The Tampopo Post: ginger & apple & bourbon – October 13, 2011 – What else needs to be said…Yum!
Cream of "something" soup recipe – October 12, 2011
How to Make Mozzarella Cheese | Heavenly Homemakers – October 12, 2011 – Looking more and more into making my own cheese. This one is pretty complex. Probably will start with ricotta first.
Free and Unlimited Web Conferencing | Free Video Conferencing | Online Web Meeting | Multipoint video conferencing | video conferencing solution – October 12, 2011 – Another free presentation service

A collection of interesting items I found in my daily reading.

Kicking hybrids out of carpool lanes backfires, slowing traffic for all – October 10, 2011 – Hmmmm….
15 companies hiring for the holidays – October 10, 2011
The Curvy Carrot » Cherry Chocolate Kisses – October 10, 2011 – Oh my! This looks like a wonderful switch on the usual peanut butter and chocolate kiss cookies I make each Christmas.
Mangio da Sola: Crockpot Chicken and Dressing – October 10, 2011 – Looking for easy to make recipes for those nights when life gets in the way of more complicated cooking.
Malted Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies – October 10, 2011
Side Dish Saturdays: Chickpeas, Bacon and Spinach (Add Your Links) – October 8, 2011
Free Web Conferencing from LiveMinutes – October 8, 2011 – Another FREE live conferencing solution
Apple Cider Syrup – Syrup Recipe With Cider and Brown Sugar – October 8, 2011 – Fall? Check Cider? Check. If Fall=T and Cider=T then MUST make some of this!
River Cottage – River Cottage Community Recipes – October 8, 2011 – Looking for ways to get more veg in my diet, and this sounds like a great way to do it. I like lentils and we recently started making several curry recipes, so this one seems good to add to that mix. I might reduce the overall size of this recipe as, in the TV show, it was designed to feed an army of firemen.
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Spread Recipe – October 8, 2011 – Sounds good for a Fall brunch or business meeting. It is the season for pumpkin and I am seeing recipes for it everywhere.
Orange Creamsicle Homemade Ice Cream Recipe | Domestic Pursuits – October 8, 2011 – Another ice cream recipe that came to mind, so I went searching for it
» Blog Archive » Pumpkin Pie Smoothie – October 8, 2011 – Sounds yummy and perfect for this time of year.
AnyMeeting, The Free Webinar Service, Launches Redesign, Six-Way Video Conferencing – October 8, 2011 – I did some testing with this site today. The overall functionality appears to work well, but the recording function seems a bit wonky. Video was there, but the audio seemed to be lost. I will contact them and see if there is a solution to that problem.
PUMPKIN PIE FUDGE – October 7, 2011 – More fudgy goodness to try this season.
Seeing Trees – Book Review – October 7, 2011 – This sounds like a good book to curl up with on a cold Winter’s night. I have added it to my Goodreads.com To Read list. Available on Amazon from the WelchWrite Bookstore.
Cake Batter Ice Cream – October 7, 2011 – Now that I have an ice cream maker attachment for my KitchenAid mixer, these recipes are starting to show up everywhere.
Carla Hall's Fried Apple Pancake Rings – October 7, 2011 – Sounds like a cool idea and adds a little fruit to the pancake. Worth trying at least once. I think I would have to thin out the pancake batter I use, though.
Martha Monday: Warm Vanilla Apple Cider Recipe – October 7, 2011 – Yummy for a cold winter evening. I am sure we will find one fo these, eventually, here in Los Angeles. What a great drink to share with friends and family.
Pin and Paper: Recycled Can Lid Plant Markers – October 6, 2011 – Cool addition to any garden, great recycling and great gifts
HAWAII GARDENING: DIY Watering Can – October 6, 2011 – Cool and simple way to reuse a container. I have needed a more gently watering can and I think I have some of these empty bottles in the laundry. Project Time! (SMILE)

Food: Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix Recipe

dewelch — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 07:38:23 +0000

I have been using another, similar recipe for a while now, but wanted a recipe that allowed me to make it larger volumes. I will probably tweak this recipe to add back anything missing from my current one, now that I have some proportions to use as a guide.
