What a difference a year makes. Last January, my wife and I were gifted with a baby girl. She is now 16 months old. This is how much can change in a year…

A year later…
OK, OK, she is still making silly faces. But you get the idea.
Feliz el Cinco de Mayo mis amigos!
Since my wife’s parents are from Croatia and she grew up eating a lot of home cooking, she sent me a link to a blog post of one of her favorite dinners as a kid.
Punjene paprike is what its called. Its basically stuffed peppers cook and simmered in tomato sauce. It takes a couple of hours at low heat to make the ingredients nice and fork tender. You can make it with either beef or pork. For me, my ace in the hole for this recipe is mixing them both together and instead of minced pork, I threw a little Farmer John’s breakfast sausage in there. Get the recipe from the original blog post and enjoy.
Bon appetite!

Muxtape is bringing back some retro-chic to the online music sharing community. It allows you to make a MP3 online ‘muxtape’ up to 12 songs at 10 MBytes each. The design and execution is dead simple but some how very appealing. It looks like someone made it in their bedroom when they were grounded by their parents. Its design is also clearly Apple inspired with its iphone-esque interface but i suspect it does not work on an iphone since the music is played via a Flash media player embedded on the site.
Take a look for yourself and I’ll be waiting to hear your very own muxtape.
