Addicted to This

I have tried many of the foundation primers out there, including Smashbox, Avon, L'Oreal, Makeup Forever, but Too Faced's Primed and Poreless takes the cake! Worth the $30 price tag and more!

The first Roma on the tomato bushes; homemade spaghetti sauce can't be far behind!

Remember Me?

After nearly a yearlong break from the blog, I've decided to pick it back up again! We ordered a "blog book" for Gramma's Mothers Day gift, and it reminded me what cool mini-histories that blogs can be! That being said, I'm not up for a big post tonight. Stay tuned!

What it does:
Sephora Brand Atomic Volume Mascara - Ultra Black blows all other mascaras away. The dramatically dark color formula conditions lashes, keeping them pretty, healthy, and seriously stunning.

What else you need to know:
An innovative tubular brush applicator with a lash-lengthening comb perfectly separates lashes for a full, sexy flutter.

MP's Rating: One wand in the middle
Loved this when I first put it on, but at the end of the day, experienced light flaking, lashes sticking together.

Mama Mia, Mary Pat!

I made HOMEMADE spaghetti sauce tonight, with tomatoes from our very own little garden!

We've been harvesting our Roma tomatoes for about two weeks now, and every time we pick a few, I blanche and puree them, them freeze the puree. Today, we had enough to make the sauce!


I combined the puree of about 15 Roma tomatoes, 1 6 oz. can of tomato paste, 2 T. grated parmesan, 1/4 cup water. 1/4 cup red wine, 2 T. olive oil, basil, oregano, salt and pepper, a sliver of pureed green pepper, 1/2 lb. cooked ground sirloin. Brought to a boil, simmered for an hour.


The finished product. It was DELISH!

I must send this to the landfill guys, who think I can't even boil water!!
