Back to the Drawing Board

Posted on March 10, 2026 by Joe

I’m going back to the real world drawing board which is a nice change being that I have been so ensconced with the digital world of late. Breaking out the graphite and the ink has been a welcome change from complicated disassembly and reassembly instructions filled with tiny connectors and tinier screws that are forever lost if they are dropped on the floor.

Blueberry Boyfriend Bait

Posted on March 9, 2026 by Tina Garceau

This is a nice, soft cake studded with fresh blueberries, and finished with a lemon glaze. It got it’s name from a teenaged girl named Renny Powell who took second place in the junior division of a Pillsbury baking contest. She cleverly referred to the cake as “Boy Bait” for its habit-forming effect on young men. Yep, it’s that good! Continue reading →

Digital Doodles

Posted on March 4, 2026 by Joe_Williams

I’ve mostly set aside my real world drawing tools as an obsession with old computers has been burning through me since around Halloween. I’m trying to frugally future-proof my family’s digital life by gutting and re-configuring computers that have long since been bought and paid for. I bask in online fix-it guides and the many dismantling videos on YouTube.

Sadly, repairing computers seems to use a different part of my brain than drawing. There’s only enough room in my head for one obsession at a time. It’s difficult switching gears.

BUT I have to get back to drawing!

That being said, I have been playing around with the free drawing program that is available for Windows, Linux and Mac — Krita. I am using it with Linux Mint with a Wacom drawing tablet. It’s fun, but I don’t think I’ll give up my traditional tools for it.

Apple Coconut Muffins

Posted on March 2, 2026 by Tina Garceau

Apples and coconut seems like an odd combination, but in the case of these muffins – it works! They’re not overly sweet, which is okay because you get a taste of the chopped apple in every bite! Continue reading →
