Moooooooo.

Pre-script: Sorry for the dark ho-bag pictures. It's NIGHT here starting at about 5:10 pm these days and it's now past 10. So there you go - DARK PHOTOS what do you expect.

So I may have mentioned my nephew recently. Nephew the elder had a bday recently. I uploaded almost every picture I'd ever taken of him, him and me, him and his parents, him and his little brother...and I turned them into Moo cards for his birthday present. I ordered an extra set for me and one for my mom/his grandma. (Ssshhhhhh they're part of her christmas present, don't tell her!)

(There are more, those are just the ones I spilled out just now. There are 100!!)

SOOOOO AWESOME. I am so in love with these cards, I'm going to have a hard time convincing myself not to carry that little box around with me EVERYWHERE. EVERY DAY. FOREVER.

Oh and hello, I cooked AGAIN. Third time in four days. Is the world ending? Is this a dream?

Yes, sometimes when I cook, I go all culinary prep on its ass. The first time my friend Mark cooked me dinner after starting the culinary institute there was this crazy assortment of little chopped up stuff everywhere ready to go... Little bowls! Full of little stuff! That will become food. Fun! I mean, not Moo Card fun, but fun enough.

Obviously I needed comfort food. Tuna, cream, olives, garlic, sgetti. Yuuuummmm.

OK off to admire my Moo cards some more. He's the cutest! They're awesome! Ah. Love.

Dinner looks delicious!

I almost never do any chopping ahead of time and almost always regret it. Have I learned my lesson? No.

Lovin' the list on Snip, too! These little cards are great. He is such a cutie pie. I'm hungry again, dangit! Looks delicious.

I'm hungry now after seeing your pasta picture. The Moo cards are a great idea.

That's such a great idea for a present. Now I'm madly trying to think of someone for whom I could order a big ole set of moo cards and what pictures I would use.

I'm the only person on the planet with no freaking idea what a Moo card is?

I love how much you love the moo cards. Trying to resit ordering some...

Isn't there a fancy french name for when you've got all your ingredients ready to go before you start cooking?

Moo cards are the awesomest.

Also, why does it think my name is "as"? Oh, and Melanie? Mise en place.

the food looks delish. so funny that when my daughter cooks, she pulls out all her "toys" like the bowls, etc. also.

i love the Mooooo cards. i may have to pull my stash pics for cards this year. ;)

Yummy! (except for the tuna...)

Those cards are the best! I hope Nephew and his folks loved them too. What a good auntie!
