Hot Dang! where have you been all my life?

I like to bake. I'm not much of a cook, but I love throwing flour around and making big messes in the name of home baked desserts. I know that Hot Pocket appreciates it when I get my lazy bum off the couch to make a delicious piece of deliciousness but I can also see the slight cringe on his face when he knows what it means when I decide to enter the kitchen and "make" food.

I can usually cover the entire countertop in flour spills, cracked eggs, and smeared batter in as little as 5 minutes. And while I love to bake on occasion, the poor Hot Pocket helps me clean up my mess and by help I mean, he cleans it up entirely. Because by the time I'm done creating sugary masterpieces, "I'm so tiiiiiired." Ahhhh he's a good sport (and yes ladies, I know how lucky I am)

So anyways when it comes to the daily meal preparation, Pocket is in charge and he does a bang up job! I've been eating well these past 5 years because of his culinary skills and I couldn't be more appreciative.

I digress. Yesterday, I found the most amazingly, wonderful, cracker jack website that should make my Pocket quiver in his boots! Foodgawker.com is a wonderful website where people submit hi-quality photographs of their culinary creations and also attach their recipes! When I stumbled upon it my eyes about rolled back in my head and the drool started to puddle on my keyboard (I wonder if I could get electrocuted that way.)

Anyways, Hot Pocket should be afraid, very afraid, because now his pregnant wife has found this website with thousands of awesome looking recipes and she has a new burning flame to create every single one of them all at the same time. The messes that this little lady is getting ready to make are paramount. Get your scrub brush ready, my dear!

And a word of warning, DO NOT go to this website if you are hungry. I PROMISE YOU. DO NOT GO! well...i warned you!
