We had the baby and are working toward some sort of normalcy again. Yeah I know, if there even is such a thing.

Is anyone else crafting for St. Patty's Day? Whether it be a greeting card or any other craft, I'd love to see what everyone is coming up with for the holiday.

Our big winner is Aaron McCargo, Jr. from Camden, NJ. If you're into food and/or reality t.v., I highly suggest you catch next season. In the meantime, you can catch Aaron's new show </span></span><a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_am"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#333333;">Big Daddy's House</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#333333;">, Sundays at 1:30pm/12:30c. </span><div><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#333333;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://images.foodnetwork.com/webfood/images/tv/nextfnstar/season4/images/pf_Aaron_McCargo.jpg" border="0" />Aaron is a family man who loves all things buttered and barbecued. Aaron got his start cooking in a local hospital at 13 and is the Executive Catering Chef for Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Married with three kids, Aaron brings an easygoing presence to the kitchen with his warm smile and passion for down to earth cooking.<br /><br /><strong>Age:</strong> 36<br /><strong>Hometown:</strong> Camden, N.J.<br /><strong>Occupation:</strong> Chef<br /><strong>Favorite food:</strong> Buffalo wings<br /><strong>Food/ingredient you won't go near:</strong> Venison<br /><strong>Why you should be The Next Food Network Star:</strong><br />I have a real and unique personality and delivery on food. I have a more down-to-earth way of cooking.<br /></span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#333333;">One of my favorite recipes from this season, although not from our winner, is the </span><a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/the-next-food-network-star/vegas-style-mac-n-cheese-with-grilled-lobster-recipe/index.html"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#333333;">Vegas style Mac 'N' Cheese with Grilled Lobster</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#333333;">.

Have hot dogs gotten a bad rap? </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;color:#333333;">For centuries together, hot dogs and sausages have suffered from their fair share of misperceptions about their content and manufacture. But today's traditional hot dogs and sausages are growing leaner. The fact is the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires by law that meats used in hot dogs and sausages must be muscle meat, just like the fresh ground meat sold in supermarkets. The vast majority of hot dogs and sausages consist of the same high quality meats that shoppers buy straight out of their grocer's meat case.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;color:#333333;">So, with July being National Hot Dog Month, I headed over to Etsy.com to see what hot dog-inspired goodies I could find. </span><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#333333;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3015/2695752097_151269dfff.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Hot Dog the Weiner Dog Print by </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=47191"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">OrangeWillow</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">; Activist cookout-ORIGINAL PAINTING by </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5463837"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">myzoetrope</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">; Hot dog and bun soap by </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5623345"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">MollycoddleSoap</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">; HOT DOG STITCH MARKERS knitting needles by </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=31348"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">scarymerry</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">; 5 x 7 black and white -- Seth eating hot dog by </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5739203"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">neurorocker</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">; hot dog by<br /></span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5246003"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">jemmanimals</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">; Hot Dog by </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=16045"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">chicalookate</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">; Picnic Pin Up Girl pocketbook by </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5092164"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">DumbKidDesigns</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">; Hot Doggles Print by </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=57645"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">joehavasy</span></a></p><p><br /></p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><strong>If you enjoyed this post, get free updates by </strong></span><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/HandcraftedByJanice"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><strong>RSS</strong></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><strong>.</strong></span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.handcraftedbyjanice.com/"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#6600cc;">Etsy Shop</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#6600cc;"> * </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/8804370@N06/"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#6600cc;">Flickr</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#6600cc;"> * </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1272111588"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#6600cc;">Facebook</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#6600cc;"> * </span><a href="http://www.myspace.com/handcraftedbyjanice"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#6600cc;">MySpace</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#6600cc;"> * </span><a href="http://www.cafemom.com/home/janymarie"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#6600cc;">CafeMom</span></a>Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13333699539725508115noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222542237161850462.post-8084746185260325162008-07-22T08:26:00.003-05:002008-07-22T09:13:51.008-05:00Nurseries to Die For<div><br /><div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#333333;">As the baby bump gets bigger I find myself thinking more and more about the nursery I'd like to have for the new little one.
