My New Link

Ever since I saw Sandra Bullock in Speed when I was in my late teens, she has been one of my faves. A couple years later, when I saw her in what is still my very-favorite-movie-ever-of-all-time, While You Were Sleeping, she became the undisputed number one in my list of favorite actors. Once upon a time, when I was a twenty-something college student, some people even told me I resembled her, which of course, just made me like her more.

I don't watch a lot of TV or read many magazines, (aside from This Old House, which I pretty much read from cover-to-cover every month), so I don't really know the details of the yuck that's going on in her life, except what I read on magazine covers in the grocery store as I set my purchases on the conveyor belt. But I do know that she is still my favorite actress, and will probably always remain so.

So, what does this have to do with "My New Link?" Well, I don't even remember exactly how I came across it, but the master baker - Gesine Bullock Prado, happens to be Sandra Bullock's sister, and she happens to have some very yummy looking things on her blog. Now if you know me at all, you know that I do not claim to be a cook or a baker. I cook out of necessity. (One of the few things I enjoy making is fun birthday cakes for my children - Ask me about the hot pink hearse - one of my best creations. ) In fact, given the choice between cleaning the bathroom and making dinner, the bathroom would win - hands down.

But I decided that I am going to follow her blog, even though I would prefer to scrub a shower over a pot or a pan. Besides, my husband keeps on making things off of the Pioneer Woman's blog, so I decided I'm going to follow a food blog of my own. So there. Who knows, I may even decide to try to make one of her recipes someday.
