Copycat

I follow quite a few blogs. One of them is Quelle Erqsome. I am fascinated by her mustachio.

Last night, I made beer bread from a recipe I saw on her blog a while back. It's unbelievably easy, and it's quite tasty! I used Fat Tire for my ale. The bread was yummeriffic with butter, while still warm, but once I tried it with raspberry jam, I nearly died.

Looking on this same blog today, I found this list. I decided to play along and the things I have done are in bold:

1. Started my own blog
2. Slept under the stars (uh...there's bugs under the stars)

4. Visited Hawaii

8. Climbed a mountain (not a whole one, but I've been on a mountain.)
9. Held a praying mantis
10. Sung a solo (Yes, and everyone at church was snickering behind their hands. Just because I was 8 doesn't mean I didn't notice.)
