How Sara!

In January, while I was learning Flash and very excited about learning to put it on the web, I had the brilliant idea to start my own website. So I registered my own domain name -- que-sara.com -- but kind of stopped there...until last week.

You see, I wanted to learn how to do some more sophisticated web-development stuff before publishing anything, but also realized that that 1-year registration was kind of useless with absolutely nothing to display, so last week I decided to throw something together. I learned some basic CSS to get me started (I had only ever made straight HTML websites in the past, and really wanted to learn a less-deprecated way of formatting), and had a basic site up on Thursday. Friday I re-posted all of my food blog entries (which I've added to tonight), and on Saturday, Kevin helped me transfer my web hosting from my free Go-Daddy account (since I registered through them) to his much faster (and ad-free) site5 account, which apparently lets you host multiple domains.

The site needs a major overhaul on looks, and the hobbies + Flash areas still need content, but that will take some planning and possibly some more learning before I get there. For now, enjoy the new site! I will most likely stop posting my food blogs on here and only post them at: http://que-sara.com/food.html

What isn't made of soy?

I've been burning candles a lot again lately, and have been avoiding buying more until I can find a place that sells soy candles (because I'm going to get cancer anyway, but I might as well avoid it where I can!), and while looking for freezer ziplocks, I stumbled upon soy candles at Safeway of all places! I only bought one -- lemongrass and coriander scented, though I sorely miss my cinnamon-scented one that made my room smell delicious! -- to see how I like this brand. So far it has completely taken over my room, but I don't mind yet =P

Chicken Cordon Bleu Deux

The first time I made chicken cordon bleu, I neglected to buy bread crumbs. Today I went grocery shopping and remembered! The third bowl in the breading process THIS time had ~1/2 cup of garlic and herb bread crumbs and ~1 tablespoon of Tony's seasoning (my favorite to put on everything!):
