Wedding Pics Part One

A few months ago, Shelly and I took some pictures at a wedding reception for a work friend. Today's Thing is fixing all the photos. Tomorrow, I'll have a DVD for the couple with a menu and photos. Fixing the over 130 photos took a while because the lighting was low and everyone had red eye. It was tricky finding the right exposure, color temp and saturation. There were a few good shots in the set, but because of a weird pause on the digital camera, almost all of the bride shots caught her with a strange expression on her face.
Oh well.

The Budget

Today's Thing is a budget page to track the bills. I made all the charts. The numbers in the chart now are phony, but, for years, I've just been logging the bills on scraps of pages. This way, with the help of a real Numbers program, I can see where the money goes each month. I hope to be completely out of debt in about four to five years. And I've finally paid off my student loans this month. So, woo-hoo!

Three meats, two beans, that's Five
Live Radar! Garlic and onions without having to chop them,
marinating, and the crock pot make this recipe less time
consuming.
Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast (about 3 breasts)
1 TBSP garlic powder
2 TBSP cumin
2 TBSP mild chili powder
1 TBSP hot chili powder
3 TBSP cooking oil
1 lb hamburger
1 lb Super Saver "original" Polish sausages (about 5)
1 15.5 oz can black beans
1 15.5 oz can dark red kidney beans
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
2 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes with roasted garlic and onions
Instructions:
Two days ahead of serving:
Put garlic, and ONE TBSP of each cumin and mild chili powder, and oil into large zippy bag, make sure spices mix with oil. Poke chicken breasts with fork, add to bag. Smush around until chicken is coated well. Refrigerate overnight, smush the chicken around whenever you pass the fridge.
The night before serving:
Remove chicken from marinate, bake in cake pan for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. (Dispose of bag!) While chicken is baking, fry hamburger, drain. Cut sausage into about 1/2" slices. Fry the sausage for added flavor (optional). When chicken is baked, cut each breast into bite-sized pieces. Put all drained meat into crock pot. Drain and rinse beans. (Rinsing removes some of bean's gassiness--supposedly) Add tomato sauce and diced tomatoes, hot chili powder, and the other TBSPs of cumin and mild chili powder. Cover crock pot and turn on 'warm' or 'low'. Cook overnight.

There's new web based programs to make mash-ups on the web. You're taking content and repurposing it. I made this simple test using Dapper. There's also Pipes where I made a TTOTD flicker feed. I was lead down the mash-up rabbit hole with this cool ad generator.

My Thing today is a new (turns out
brand-spankin'-new, as today is their launch date) promotion and
marketing tool for blogs. You know me, I always have to try
something new! I'm putting it on my blog,
as well. We'll see how well it works.
