...Rosa...
My car, Rosa, hit 100K on the way home from my brother's in January. She's been running really well and she's clicked away the miles for me without a lot of hussle since I bought her in 2004. Sadly, yesterday she failed for me the first time. After getting her towed to my guys Kevin and AJ on Virginia Beach Blvd (Would you believe that I was on only an hour from taking her there before it happened) I talked things over with Kevin.
We came to the conclusion that it was the timing belt but more diagnostics were needed to confirm since the noise JUST started and then *wham* it was all over.
Regardless, I've been reading online that the timing belt is suggested between 85K-100K on the Toyota Camry. So, we'll wait and see how Rosa fairs through all of this - she's been a good car, even if I don't wash her as often as I should!

Sweet Curry Shortbread Cookies
I've been wanting to do some baking lately but wasn't sure what I wanted to make until I ran across a recipe for Lemon Shortbread Cookies. It wasn't exactly what I wanted to make but I had all the ingredients - that was the kicker! I thought it over and decided that I would make the standard Buttery Shortbread Cookies. From there I remembered that Corax had brought some sugar cookies dusted in curry powder to a dinner at the house one time. While I was mixing the below recipe together I threw in at least a teaspoon or two of the powder.
It smelled awesome while they were baking and I can't wait until they're cooled!
Buttery Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
Preparation:
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; gradually stir in flour until well blended. Spread or pat in an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake at 300° for 30 to 40 minutes, until just lightly browned. Remove from oven and immediately pierce all over with a fork. Cut into bars. Cool completely before removing from pan.
Update:
The 2 tsp didn't work. Make sure you use more like 1 Tablespoon so that you can taste the curry powder and read the instructions and don't grease your pan! :)
