Technorati

Learning how to tag a blog post was neat.. I googled one of my entries and it came right up, but putting the tags on something is an added bonus... I don't know that I would use this very often, but now I know how to just incase... and I do like knowing a little bit about coding... for instance... the trademark symbol I used in the recipe you add & trade ; (with no spacing in between) at the end of the phrase you want in HTML... for instance HeatherTyme™... anywho I'm tagging this one as well...

Mutant Mushroom Lasagna

The name for this lasagna came as a joke... One of the mushrooms was actually double headed!! Yes a siamese mushroom, I probably could have gotten 3 bucks for it on ebay, but I thought I would give my lasagna charicter.... This was my first time ever making lasagna, and writing a recipe for it... I never follow recipies, so hopefully it works out...



Pescetarianism: another note

About a week ago I decided to become a vegetarian... Well actually the technical term is pescetarianism, meaning I only eat vegetables and seafood.. Why you ask, the FDA recently approved CLONED livestock to be butchered.. My thoughts, I did not come from cloning, so why would I put it in my body. Just my personal feelings, I would NEVER impose my own views on anyone else.... Don't worry... So far so good, I didn't eat too much meat anyways, a little chicken and pork hear and there... Any whoo today I made an awesome(if I should say so myself) vegetable/shrimp lasagna... I'm trying to write the recipe and will post when I've completed it.. Peace

del.icio.us

I think del.icio.us is a fabulous resource!! I've seen the icon alot lately but never knew what it was for... I think it's great, everything linked all together in one place that can be accessed anywhere... I'm not too heavy into the internet so unfortunately I didn't really have too much to bookmark, but it's nice to have this now so I'm able to save sites as I feel necessary.

Thing #12

This section was easy for me.... I already have a myspace page which I had created to keep up with friends and family out of state.... Facebook, I was not real familiar with. I did look around but did not create an account...

The Generator Blog

I'm pretty familiar with the online generators, although I had no idea there were so many.... so it was great to have a bunch all on one site... I used The Generator Blog http://generatorblog.blogspot.com/ and had a ton of fun.... One that I thought would be helpful here in the teen center was the Venn Diagram Generator, it's a great resource for students when studying..
