Period 7 Days Late With Increased Cervical Mucus.

New software: Gimp

This morning I made the "gaffe" to visit sites scrapbook. They may say, for the scrapbook, even if you have millions of paper and Bebel, the basis is still in the picture. On these sites, the photos were altered with filters, or elements of color, etc.. It made me want to learn to play with it all, without anyway to spend on a fad that will last maybe not.
So I downloaded the free program Gimp. They say it is similar to Photoshop. My goal is not to do graphics, it's just editing photos. It does not take me a software of death!
Then I found a really great site that details step-by-step how to play with the software. The first thing I wanted to do was to put an item on a color photo that I converted to black and white.

For me practice, I chose a photo taken at Tulip Festival last spring. I still have to practice, but within 45 minutes, here's what I did (later, edit pictures took me about 5 minutes per photo, ultra fast):
Photo Basic :
2) An element in color (in short, it must duplicate our black and white. Then, we delete some and this is the color that was hidden underneath that appears!)

3) All elements of the same color are evident (it took me a little more time ... the result is not great, but I think this is due to the choice of photo).
Hours of fun!
I go back!

Why My Conventional Oven Burns Everything

All-in-one

Yesterday, while I prepared a lasagna (it's good, but if loooong), I was thinking that I tend more towards the flat all-in-one carbohydrate, protein, vegetables, all in one dish. Moreover, as we are only two, by slightly increasing the ingredients, I often find myself with enough surplus to another meal (hop in freezer).

I started up a folder of recipes I found on various sites, these dishes all-in-one that often taste many of them are so good and warmed up. One thinks first of the classics, lasagna, chili, veggie patty or non-Chinese, but there are plenty of other ideas (moussaka, quiche, fried ...).

Someone has other ideas?

Why Do I Get Zits On My Stomach

Carrot Cake Ice


In anticipation of a visit to a birth, I told myself that a cupcake would be the least of things to bring. It was early, I was in pajamas, so I had to take the ingredients available at home. I had a lot of bananas, but also my good banana buttermilk cake as it is, I did not feel like doing for the twelve millionth time this year.
So I pulled out my "Big Book of Baking". Lately I've been in the household recipe books: the book went into the closet of "least viewed", but the flipping, I rediscovered a lot of recipes I have a taste for experiment: cheddar pennies (yes, it's a French book), bread and buttermilk ... carrot cake. Ye, I had to do it.

I put the complete recipe, but I split in two. It gave me a beautiful cake I baked in a loaf pan.
This cake is incredibly moist. At
