Plan 9 from Outer Space

-

Tonight, Father and I went to the beach to see Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space. It was soooo funny. I would highly recommend it (and seeing it on the beach is a bonus!)

Afterward, we ended the evening by eating at In-n-Out Burger (sorry Tinu!)

It took us forever to only choose those two. One that got away that we both wanted was Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Cookbook, hint hint. The reason I mention this is because later that evening, I started a new project called 365project. (I’ve created a permanent link on the sidebar to the left.) It’s a site where you take one picture a day and upload it. So I thought I would start by having my first picture be of a few of my most recent cookbook acquisitions.  Then that got me to thinking. Besides challenging myself to take a picture every day for a year, how about if I created a cooking challenge stemming from my new, old cookbooks? And what if I managed to get so...
