    (not) wild weekend

    There are so many things I should and could be writing about…. but I’m not feeling much like writing. Instead, I’ll just share a few pictures of the weekend with some light commentary. Deal? Sure hope so, because nobody is here to argue with me. I could be persuaded to write more if I had…

  • Couch please.

    Couch please.

    This is actually the second time I’ve tried to write this post.  The first time I sounded like a whiner. I wanted to tell you about falling during my run on Sunday, how I don’t have hot water in my apartment, and how I’ve been sick for the past 2 days. I did also want…

  • It's time.

    It's time.

    one of my favorite moments. ever. I’ve had the following post written since I was on the plane coming home from my grand adventure in California. So according to no degree of calculation that’s like two months?  Initially, I meant to post it a week after I got home. Then it was when I started…

    Brussel Sprouts are for the cool kids

    I feel like people give brussel sprouts a bad name. I think I blame tv for this actually. But, I actually like these bad boys. I mean it doesn’t hurt that I sprinkled them with truffle salt and gruyere cheese right? Answer = no. I’ve never made brussel sprouts before and they are super easy.…

    Mac & Cheese (and well bacon…. of course)

    I have a strong love affair with mac and cheese. Specifically Kraft. Not Auntie Annie’s. Not Velveta. Just Kraft.  The Blue Box. In the event you were confused. So, I guess it is weird slash expected that I had never made Mac & Cheese from scratch. If I have something that works, why mess with…

    Big and Soft and Awesome (Cookies)

    So, at this point… its obvious that I’m in love with the North End … right? If not, please re-read any post subsequent to say November 1st. Well today is the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Disaster…. which took place in 1919. It was a very unfortunate event in which 21 people died and 150…

  • Resolutions

    I’ve toyed a bit with resolutions in the past…. And tend to forget about them come February. Who is surprised there? Not this girl. But this year I have two that I’m going to try and stick with: (1) Make 52 new things I’ve never made before (2) Send more cards in the mail Originally,…

    It's a Broccoli Party

    … and you are invited. I don’t care that you didn’t even want to come. Last week I stumbled upon this blog post for Broccoli Cheddar Soup from Lovely Morning. I think I quite literally fell in love with it because of the picture of the broccoli. Is it possible to love broccoli soup but…
