I'm a 27 year old, newly married, newly living in Washington, librarian trying to find a job in a library. Meanwhile I'm working as a office assistant while I figure out how to live my new life as a wife.
Geoff, my wonderful, caring husband works with computers and, in his free time, plays with video games, lounges on the couch and cooks with sourdough.
Clarabelle and Hermione are our babies! Hermione, who came to Megg as a kitten, loves playing with fur mice and bottle caps. Clarabelle's hobbies include sleeping, lying in the sun and playing with straws. 
Geoff and Megg met through a mutual friend and spent 4 years dating long distance. They were finally able to live in the same zipcode after what seemed like forever when they got married on January 2, 2010! Soon after they bought a house and have been enjoying the Pacific Northwest together while being both newlyweds and new homeowners!
My new friend this week is this cookbook. I got 4 of the 6 recipes I'm using from it. (Well, one of those 6 was pancakes and omelets, so I guess that doesn't count.)
Last night I made Easy Potato Soup for dinner and man was it easy! The recipe is basically: Pour 2 cans of chicken broth and a 1 pound package of frozen hash browns in the crock pot. Leave it for several hours. About an hour before you're ready to eat, pour in 3 cups of shredded cheese and 3 cups of milk. (I added some spices for taste, but it would also work to use spicy cheese, though I don't like that myself). Let it get hot, serve. Simple!
The only problem I found with this is that it's, well, a little boring. And while there's some protein in there (cheese) I thought we needed a little something else with dinner. So I made a salad.
I am especially excited about this because of the bowl and salad hands. The bowl was a wedding gift from Crate and Barrel, and the hands were purchased with wedding gift cards at Target. I love them both!
Anyway, that salad contained lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, all things I would have used up eventually, and also avocado (on sale for .88, I couldn't resist getting two) and leftover bacon bits and cheese from the previously mentioned omelets. Score, I used stuff up! Even better, we finished off the salad and I sent The Husband to work with soup and a small piece of leftover chicken for lunch. Cooking for two is MUCH easier than cooking for one.
