I think one of the best things about getting older is that you know more about what you need and where to get it from. I like to refer to this as “building a team”. I’ve been building my team for 30 years now but not really realized it until quite recently. I know now…
Turning 30 is different things for different people. I’ll be honest and say that I haven’t always had the easiest time adjusting to the impending threshold. Initially, it made me feel like I should have more accomplished. Five years ago, I would have expected that by 30 I would be married and probably have a…
Like I said last week, I haven’t really been cooking. I’ve even been habitually buying lunch – which is just really not me. After all, I did eat crockpot pomegranate chicken for like 9 work days last summer. I’m dedicated to the cause of saving a few bucks each day. But tonight, I felt a smidge inspired…
Not many things have seemed worthy of a whole post… but the cumulative effort of the last month or so has been pretty great… in an uneventful way. Which is just fine by me. It’s a lot of prosciutto eating, skyline gawking, and rolling on the floor/lawn with a new family puppy.
You may or may not have noticed that I haven’t been cooking …. pretty much at all. There are probably a few reasons for this of which none are really valid. Sometimes an english muffin just feels right and sometimes I don’t feel like doing dishes and sometimes it’s just too warm out. For example,…
In about a month I will be turning 30. That means I’ll have been around for 3 complete runs of the series Friends – which was on for 10 seasons. I’ve been thinking about turning the big 3 times 10 for about 8 months I would say. I’ve even gone so far as to take…
This is a story of how I killed the yeast and brought it back to life. There is only one picture of the entire thing because I was quite convinced the entire time it was a slow moving car accident. Over the past few weeks, I have been attempting to purge my apartment of things…
There was most certainly a point in my life when I considered flowers a waste of money. While I most certainly meant that at the time, it could not be further from the truth now. Yesterday I bought myself these peonies from Trader Joes along with some other necessities like naan, frozen tuna steaks, and…
Two years ago I met someone who told me they collected postcards off eBay. Vintage postcards of their favorite place in the world, Christmas Cove. Instantly I was intrigued and thought it was an amazing idea … and also like the most romantic thing ever. If you don’t think so, you must have a heart…
I’ve always been a little enchanted by macarons. They are one of those things that just scream simple elegance – which perhaps is the opposite of how I would describe myself. You look at them and they are just marvelous. Plus, ever since that morning in Chicago … I couldn’t get these suckers out of…
