About Me 2012

My Name is George and I love peanut butter – in satay sauce, on toast, in dates. I love curries, both Thai and Indian. I love meats, especially lamb. I love helping mum in the kitchen, especially when we’re experimenting, making new recipes and trying new combinations.

I love lists and spreadsheets. I love photos and modifying them on Photoshop. I love blogging, and love it when I get lots of views and likes, and comments.

I love being productive, and exercising. I love biking and swimming and running. I love playing tag, stuck in the mud, basketball and football.

I love acting, and clubs, and making friends. I love video games, especially adventure games with levels and goals and things to unlock.

I love board games – like Monopoly Scrabble, Carcassonne, Nab It, Boggle, Settlers of Catan, Blokus and Ingenious.

I love lots of animals, including snakes, dogs, penguins, pandas and birds. I love plants, and planting plants.

  4. Hiya George! Pleased to meet you, and love the helmet! But, I also like your “About” – very creative!. Thanks so much for the like on an earlier post of mine, “Colorado”. That was from a few years ago. Recently, I went back for a ski trip and there’s a slew of new winter scenes on my blog now. Take a look when/if you get time.

    • Hi Laurie! The helmet is from a war museum I went to while on holiday in Stratford upon Avon. I’m glad you like it, and my about :-) You’re most welcome, and I’ll check out the pics in a bit. Thanks.

    • You’re welcome!

      And thanks, glad you like it!

      Had a look at that article. Some pretty nice looking food on there. I’ll eat anythings except pak-choi and flax seed though, so I’ll be happy with most of your dishes, even the ones that aren’t specially kid friendly :-)

As a result, if you were following Can’t Stay Out of the Kitchen via email, WordPress, or using RSS feeds through Google Reader or some other way, you are no longer subscribed. If you wish to continue receiving future posts from my blog you will need to re-subscribe. Sorry for the inconvenience, Teresa.

  14. Hi George, thank you for stopping by In an Irish Home and “liking” my post on Irish Shortbread. I see from your “About” page that you like cooking too. Perhaps you’ll make the shortbread biscuits and let me know how you get on. One quick question for you…how did you ever mind my blog? I’m always curious to know how people find me. Would love your input. Many thanks and continued success with your wonderful blog. Kim

  40. Hi George,
    It’s been a while since someone has commented here. Don’t be shocked, people still look! I am featuring you on my post tomorrow as a Featured Blog. It’s not an award. You don’t have to do anything, but you might want to read what I’m writing about you. I love your blog. Congratulations. Here’s the link if you want to come by tomorrow after 6:00 a.m. PST http://wp.me/p2jC53-14J You admirer, Marsha Lee :)

Love your photos of the LEGO mini figs. My husband is almost through with his Star Destroyer I got him for Christmas (yeah, I’m a great gift giver!). I’ll post a photo of it, it’s over four foot long! Take care and keep writing.

  52. I am glad you liked my poem (Birdsong) even though it is a little sad. Your own writing is happy and upbeat. I don’t share your love of peanut butter but I do love Indian curries (possibly because I am Indian) and Thai curries as well.

  53. Hi, George! Thanks for stopping by my blog, but I’m sure you will find I have much more intresting posts than how to poach a bloody chicken breast! lol. Your blog, what I have seen of it so far, is fun to look around. I love some of the tunes you put up – how on earth did you hear about the goat whateverers? Wierd name but cool songs! You might like a youtube star called Sam Tsui – his channel is TheSamTsui and he does mostly covers but has a really interesting way of doing them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIoSTbPt_PI really shows the interesting way he and his buddy, Kurt, enable Sam to sing a duet with himself, and this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2RA0vsZXf8&feature=fvsr is my favourite at the moment – a Nelly cover. Well, kiddo, stay real and keep on blogging. Fun, isn’t it! Hugs from Australia. :)

    Reply

    • You’re very welcome ;-)

      Haha, maybe I will find more interesting things, but I am a beginner at cooking, and was interested to see how to poach a chicken, as I had been intrigued by many competitors attempting this on Masterchef! :D (But I agree, your choc ripple cake is certainly more interesting! Lol :D

      Yeah, cool songs! My Dad likes them, so we listen to it quite a lot, and I came to really like it! :D

      I looked up some of Sam Tsui’s songs! He’s pretty good!

      Thanks for your comment!

My daughter is a competitive swimmer and we both love to run. Sounds like you have a lot in common with my kiddos. You have a great blog. I wish you all the best!

    Reply

  82. Thanks G-man for the follow. My heart is tender today so it made me cry. I love your writing because it is so connected with emotion. I learned something new which is that a feeling is energy in motion. e-motion. Your poems tell me that your cells know that already. Some of us though are rocks and learning how to get moving. Today I had lots of energy moving through me! Yay!

    I follow you on my Rss feed. I mostly adore your poems. Your lego fun reminds me of my boychild who played with them non-stop from when he was a tiny person.

    I think you’re great.

  107. Hi George — thanks for the interest. Well, this is quite a blog you have here — what an incredibly active series of posts! Considering all the lego stuff here, I think you would be interested by this post that features some moviemaking, including Lego work: http://mediateacher.net/2011/10/06/documentary-about-animation-by-moving-images-student/

    Helping mum in the kitchen is how I got my start and then she encouraged me by being my clean up helper. I passed it along to my children and they would plan a menu, I’d take them shopping and then I was banned from the kitchen while they prepared a delish dinner. I even had to dress nicely. THEN, I did the clean up and I’m not sure how they managed to use just ’bout every dish in the kitchen!!!

    Nice to meet you and may I say what a sweetheart you are! You have been by my blog a couple of times and have left me some likes. Thank you very much. I too like peanut butter (I have about 6 jars right now) and I like to make peanut butter and banana sandwiches (sometimes with potato chips inside!).

As a fellow peanut butter fanatic, have you ever tried peanut butter with cream cheese or with any sort of cheese for that matter? (Except blue cheese, maybe not blue cheese.) My friends say I’m nuts, but I love it together.

    Reply

    • I think everyone likes getting likes on their posts. I was just having a conversation with a fellow blogger about likes though. Lots of people just like posts to get traffic to their blog. I once put a post up which included 3 pictures. None of the pictures showed up because I’d copy-and-pasted them from my Gmail account, which apparently doesn’t work. And I got 7 likes on that post before realizing the pictures didn’t show up and fixing them. They couldn’t have been genuine likes!

      Thanks for your comment :D

      Reply

      • Maybe they liked on the basis of sarcasm as they thought you did that on purpose:)
        But anyway, I totally agree that some people ‘like’ just to get traffic on their blogs. Those are the worst bloggers.
        Imagine a blogger, so elated that his post got a like while actually the person who ‘liked’ just wanted traffic. It may be motivation for him and a good one to if his posts are good but if his posts are bad, it will be very demoralising if somebody tells him straight to his face that his posts are just horrible after he got so many likes. First, he will be in denial then he will be super depressed.
        You get what I’m saying as I don’t think I got what I am saying….?

      • I think I get what you’re saying. I don’t really take much notice of likes though because I know that traffic-bloggers could be where they are coming from.

        I love getting comments and follows though, because that shows that they like it enough to actually make an effort to tell me. If they just like, they might have been to my blog and out again in a matter of seconds.

  180. What a gorgeous blog!! So infectious! I LOVE it and am going to follow it!! I am also going to share it with my son who is not-quite-a-teen-but-wishes-to-be-one too. :D
    We love Blokus out here too and I could simply LIVE on peanut butter. Have you tried it with Ritz crackers? Sweet and salty…YUM!

      I’ve tried peanut butter on crackers, but I can’t have wheat, so I’m not sure I can have Ritz Crackers?
      On the topic of peanut butter, have you tried it with dates, or apple slices, or unsulphured apricots?
      One blogger also suggested peanut butter with celery sticks, which sounds like an awesome idea :D

  246. Yes, birds are some of my favorites (thanks for liking the “Osprey and Pelican” on my blog) and where I am (the Oregon coast in the U.S.) I get to see quite a few of them. On the day I wrote that poem I was sitting on the beach watching two whales spouting, a score of osprey fishing, about twenty pelicans plumpsing into the water fishing, four or five seals hunting in the surf, one guy surfing and, to top it all, an antique yellow bi-plane was buzzing the beach about 15 meters above my head – and all of this at the same time – with brilliant sunshine glinting off the rollers and quite a breeze – a lot going on! You would have loved it!

  266. Well, George — thank for reading and responding with a comment to “Thank you for your support.” I’m guessing by the 99 in your blog name that you’re a teenager, and in the UK. I’m in America and I’m NOT a teen — considerably older, I’m afraid! How have the Olympic Games impacted your life? Any at all? If you live near London, I trust all Americans visiting there have behaved well. I have a story called “Petya i volk” you might enjoy reading. It’s my version of Peter and the Wolf. If you read it, tell me what you think. Click on My Writing by Genre and scroll down to Short Stories. It will be listed under that. It’s not really short, though. Cheers!

      Sure, I’ll take a look at your story :-)

      As for me being a teenager, I am, but the 99 isn’t related.

      • I might agree with you, if I hadn’t been such a hellion as a teen. No doubt being a teen when I was was a lot safer than being a teen today, judging from my teenage son!

  271. Hi George,

  272. Hi George, thank you for liking my Iron man Bento post. I think you are a very creative and talented artist, your blog is very interesting and inspirational. And I love Pokemon too, probably I will create a bento with this theme soon. Thanks for the inspiration. Cheers.

  274. Hi George,

    I quite like your blog here, especially the pokemon, which i always found interesting. I’m looking forward to reading more from you!

    Keep writing, stay inspired!

    • Yes, Pokemon are interesting.
      One thing I find quite peculiar (ad sort of a bit disturbing) is that every Pokemon lays eggs, even if they’re mammals, like dogs (mightyena) or cows (miltank).
      Thanks for you comment :-)

  281. Hello, George; my friend posted a link to your blog and said it was really wonderful–and I have to agree! I am especially enjoying your drawings. I like to make art too, and I admire your skill and enthusiasm! Perhaps just as much, I am enjoying reading about the broad range of things you love. Some of them are new to me, and I’m learning a lot. I know the world holds lots of good things for you, and I wish you the very best and want to thank you for sharing your discoveries, talents, and interests with us. I think it’s very generous of you.
    Best,
    Cedra

  282. George. What a positive and enthusiastic person you are. I also feel passionate about peanut butter. Have you ever bought peanut butter from a grind your own peanut butter machine? There are peanuts in the top and then the machine grinds them up right in front of you.

    Thanks for being so inspiring. I think I am going to make a list of things I like too.

  317. Beautiful blog! Thank you for liking my post, “Webbie’s Eyes.” It is a very special painting for me as my cousin recently committed suicide. It has left my heart very heavy but life has to go on….as do I. Your post made me smile. It made me think of the simple pleasures of life. If you liked my painting, check out my website. I have a bunch of my oil paintings on it as well as a lot of photographs that I have taken in the city that I live, San Francisco. I hope you enjoy it and thanks again for stopping by my blog. Have a great rest of your weekend.

    Warmly,

  334. You love Blokus! I remember learning the game from our host when I was on a group trip to Costa Rica, and from then on I was hooked! Did you know there’s a Blokus 2-GO? It’s a scaled down version for two people.

  335. Hi! Just to say thank you for your recent visit and like. I was a linguist for the Army years ago, but after visiting your site, I realize I don’t speak Pokeman. Fascinating – I wouldn’t know where to start with Pokeman cards!
