A Summer Treat…Strawberry Lemonade Cheesecake Bars

by Food In My Beard on June 27, 2010

Summer is in full swing in Washington, DC. It's been over 90 degrees for the past week and my baking has been seriously put on hold. Not only is it just too hot to turn on the oven but it's too hot to even eat what I usually love to bake (brownies)! So I've put ...

Goldeneye: My Second Favorite Game after Galaga, is Coming to Wii

June 16, 2010

I don’t play a lot of video games, never have. In fact we just got a Wii a few weeks ago and all we have is Mario Kart, but it’s more than sufficient for us. I hate the games where you have to find the key to the door you passed half an hour earlier, [...]
