Screensavers

Ok, so I am going to try a new thing out here on the Frugal Foodies...and I think you'll like it...

My friend Frances is an incredibly talented and takes beautiful, beautiful pictures, most of which can be seen here.

Anyways, I've commissioned her to do some artwork for the site, and to start off she took some gorgeous shots of my favorite things - food.

Anyways, here for your enjoyment is one of my favorite photos that you can set as your screensaver. All you have to do is right click the image and there should be a "Set as Background" option.

If the image doesn't work or looks distorted in anyway, just email me!

So with Valentine's Day approaching, I thought this would be the perfect time to put together a simple menu (I promise nothing TOO fancy, but just enough to be special). I'll be introducing a new course each day this week; so be prepared, Monday-Thursday will have a new menu item, with Friday recapping it all.

I am really excited to do this menu and hopefully everyone will enjoy it!

Top Chef Talk

JAMIE IS GONE!!

That is really all that needs to be sad. If she didn't have the worst attitude next to Leah, I might be sad...

However, this does cause reason for concern -- Is Stefan really going to win???? Undoubtably he is the best, but there is something to be said about a chef inspiring those around them, and I sincerely believe that Stefan does not do that.
