Tweet Pie – The World’s Shortest Recipe Book

Here's a brilliant idea –

 

A charity campaign has been launched to create the world’s shortest recipe book.

‘Tweet Pie’ is crowdsourcing 140-character recipes – ’twecipes’ – to include in a book to be published later this year.

To enter, Tweet a recipe including the hashtag #Tweetpie. The best entries will be featured in the book.

Tweet Pie will be published and sold in aid of FoodCycle, a charity that redirects edible surplus food thrown away by food retailers to create nutritious meals for people affected by food poverty.

I love the simplicity of it all, and of course, it's for a great cause. Just share a recipe on Twitter including the hashtag #Tweetpie and you could be featured in The World's Shortest Recipe Book. What's not to love about that? :)

And it should only take a few seconds to do, so what are you waiting for, tweet now!

St. Patrick's Dinner 2010

Jessie made a superb corned beef with cabbage, carrots, onions and celery. It is definitely one of my favorite stick-to-your-ribs meal. She also (upon request) made her famed mashed potatoes champ style. Not only that, but she went a little above and beyond with some very green potatoes... which I wasn't aware of until they were practically on my plate :p

Festive!

20 Week Ultrasound

We had our 20 week ultrasound today and the verdict is in - we've got a little baby Dugas girl on our hands!! Jessie and I are super excited, and are really appreciative of everyone else that is sharing in our bundle of joy.

Watching the ultrasound at this point was really amazing.. it's like real-time video of our baby being active and just well, doing stuff in the womb. Her legs were crossed, she stretched out a bunch, and in this shot she was having a fine time sucking her thumb (she must take after the baby Jessie).

We'll be in the delivery room before I know it!

20 Weeks

Time is really flying by, and we've just landed on a big week. Not only are we roughly half-way to delivery, but we also purchased a bag of diapers today (marking our first official newborn-related product purchase).

Later this week, we'll head over to Bozeman Deaconess hospital to get an ultrasound and hopefully learn the sex of the baby. Jessie's been dying to find out, and I'm somewhat curious myself. She's been doing really well throughout her pregnancy and has not had any noticeable sickness or legendary *wacky cravings.

Attached is a photo of Jessie coming along at about 20 weeks.

* Jessie claims to not have any cravings, but she is definitely eating foods from her childhood that I've never seen her eat before... hmm!

Philly Cheese Steak Macaroni & Cheese

You've gotta taste it to believe it. This pasta dish brings back the flavors of the warm Philly cheese steaks I grew up enjoying. Thin macaroni gets a generous layer of seared, hand-shaved steak and a mixture of grilled onions, bell peppers and mushrooms. The plate is then topped off with a hot layer of provolone and white american cheese sauce.</drool>
