I love Hilah Cooking! You should check it out! I’ve made her peach cobbler before, but today i’m making it with blackberries. I’ll let you know how it turns out (it’s in the oven as we speak).
For all you lucky guys and gals who have memorial day off, you should definitely make something swweeet!
From my cooking book I'm working on
Asleep
For Illustration Friday:
Here’s Luna the Moon Dog! When she is not out finding adventures on the moon, she is usually sound asleep, dreaming about…you guessed it, SQUIRRELS! Typical dog you know…
"soaked"
My first time posting for Illustration Friday.

My dog is liked by pretty much anyone that has met her (…who doesn’t like dogs though?) She is a highly intelligent mutt with a funny personality that doubles as spoiled silly! Isaac and I trained her exceptionally well.
She has to sit on her pillow while we are eating, no begging in front of us. Well, when we tell her to get on her “luna pillow” she sits as well as she can (it’s like watching a little kid trying to sit still in a candy store), always inching a little bit off her pillow to catch a glimpse of our human food. and whimpering ever so softly, letting us know, “don’t forget about me, I’m being a good girl on my pillow!” And did I mention the drooling? Well, as soon as it starts, she cannot control it. You most certainly do not want to be walking barefoot anywhere near her luna pillow, because you will certainly step on a drool spot. And as I write this, I am eating a bite of pizza and staring at her. And she is staring intently back.
The only problem this has caused is, she will wait all day for us to eat because she knows this routine very well. Yes, we do give her our leftovers after we are done eating and that has caused her to be used to it. Or should I say, so freakin’ spoiled rotten it isn’t even funny! But it does beat the sitting in front of me, dripping drool on the couch spoiled dog. Or that time when I was eating some grilled fish she jumped up and took it right off my plate kind of dog..
But she does still eat nutritious dog food!
Luna the constantly drooling dog
I’m pretty sure the general population is feeling this way these days. More so than others, but I drew this last summer when I was stuck worrying about whether I would have enough money to pay for all the bills I had. Student loans up the wazoo, maxed out credit cards…here I was looking at myself in my 20’s and felt like my credit determined my life here–would I ever be able to afford a car? A house someday? Go back to school for my masters degree? All the while, my boyfriend had to get a second job just to help me pay for my bills. And I have a 40 hour a week job, but
Financial Stress
I still couldn’t pay them down. I felt trapped. I felt that this is how my life was going to be from now on. Depressing, isn’t it?
Yes, I always end up writing about my woes and worried whatnots, okay…but the point I was getting at is, even though I never could afford the house we wanted to get, or a new truck for Isaac, we still got by. No matter if we saw all our paychecks get stamped and mailed away to some bill collector, we still had time to eat, drink, and be merry. And the tables have turned. Isaac lost his job, and now I am making more money to help us out (and I was able to consolidate my credit cards to a very low interest payment). So incidentally, the trap is just a fabric in our lives, whether we want that debt trap to be there, we still have no other way to avoid it. Yes, our lives may be boring because we can’t go out of town on the weekends, or go cruising around town in our “wubaru” but we get by. And I think that’s just about as good as it’s going to get.
