for mom’s 60th birthday, we surprised her with brunch aboard a hornblower yacht. this was the biggest of the hornblowers, the inspiration. she was surprised, we drank dramamines, mimosas, and feasted for a couple hours while the yacht cruised around the bay. it was a great day full of happiness, friends, and family

This is a super simple recipe for roasted chicken. It’s even better than doing it in the slow cooker since the skin crisps up a little nicer!
Ingredients
- Chicken leg quarters (I guess you can use any cut of chicken, but I recently discovered quarters and it’s changed my life)
- Olive oil
- Salt & Pepper
- Paprika (seriously, this is the 2014 spice of the year/mvp for me)
This is one of the worst bugs I’ve encountered in a while. The worst because you really don’t know exactly where the issue can be fixed…

say you have 10 group names, labeled ‘$group_1’, ‘$group_2’, etc. and you want to display each of them. a quick way to do that is to use dynamic variables (aka variable variables)
for ($i = 1; $i < 11; $i++) {
echo ${'group_' . $i};
}
this is super simple to make — it consists of 4 ingredients:
- angel food cake (pre-made and cubed)
- cool hwip (spelled correctly)
- sliced strawberries (mixed with strawberry glaze)
grab a mason jar and layer your ingredients in each one: cake, cool hwip, strawberry/glaze mix, cake, cool hwip, strawberry/glaze mix, etc.
looks can be deceiving — the cake and cool whip are practically air so go ahead and stuff the jars — your guests will be very thankful later

i came across this wonderfully inspiring article titled “why ‘side projects’ matter?”
it’s been warm out… but that doesn’t stop a hernandez from making hot soup! this is one of my favorite dishes that my pops makes. i always use to think it was super tough to make, but it’s really simple. This amount ended up lasting several days (of lunches)

I Google’d and checked the WordPress codex, but could not find a function that would give me the ID of an image I uploaded into a custom meta field.
The Problem
I have uploaded an image, but that image is huge. I want to be able to display the image at my predefined size. There are functions to display the post thumbnail (featured image) in any which way you want, but this is different.
This is the cleanest method I’ve found to get the attachment’s ID. With the ID, you’ll be able to use a function to display that image.
