Does anyone else ever feel this way?
I was on my way to work yesterday and as I was getting off of the bus, I just had this overwhelming feeling like I was just acting like a grown-up, that any time now everyone is going to find me out.

January Recipes
So one of my goals for this year is to cook more. To that end, I am going to try to pick four or five recipes to tackle each month. Because I just got back from VEGAS (OMG awesome, I want to go back so bad), I am a little late for January, but here goes:

Our Fairy Tale
Once upon a time, in a land very much like this one, a boy and a girl fell in love. And it was hard and easy and comforting and scary and wonderful and terrible all at once. There were no ogres or wicked stepsisters or fairy godmothers, no magic slippers or pixie dust or three wishes. But they slayed dragons and avoided poison apples and hungry wolves together.
