Like I mentioned in my Memorial Day wrap-up post, I took a quick little jaunt to the Holly Hill farm in Cohasset over the long weekend. It’s a cute little place that has horses, a goat, buckets of chickens, and a bunny. I’m sure there are other living things as well …. but I’m pretty…
I’ve just eaten about 7 Dove Promises and it’s Wednesday … which means it’s not a long weekend anymore. The weather this Memorial Day weekend could only really be described as bipolar. Pretty much every weather forecaster in Boston is trying to tell us that Memorial Day is the start to summer. For about 70%…
Back in March, I had the occasion to be in NYC with a small group of friends. Being the early riser that I am, I mentally jumped at the opportunity have a little warm breakfast available when people slowly made their way into the kitchen. Thanks to a big ole chili dinner the night before,…
Yes, it’s been far too long in between posts. And while I know that in my own heart, it’s always nice to have someone else remind me. I got this message at work yesterday from my friend’s hubs: “tell whatjendoes that she hasn’t been doing anything” Message received. It’s been a weird and busy few…
I love cooking for specific occasions. Cooking is great and all, but when there is a theme or purpose … it is just a million times more fulfilling. Maybe not a million, but still. I’m particularly proud of the themed Downton Abbey dinners and the Julia Child meals last summer. There is a chance that…
I almost can’t believe that I made butter on Sunday. In part because I love butter a lot … and because it was really not challenging. I’m not suggesting that I give up store bought butter on the reg but for a special occasion …. make some butter. In fact, I can’t wait to have…
This post was written on the plane coming home… to America. To my family. And Eleanor, my cat. I guess it’s fitting that my last day in Italy it rained. That means it’s time to go home right? Since it was a travel day, there wasn’t really much that happened except the following: …
I just spent about 20 minutes trying to take a picture of the city lights from my balcony. I’m not sure it really went as expected. But I’ll still post it for posterity sake tomorrow maybe. Today I did everything that I had “planned” to do. It was a really great day of moving at…
Just a quick post before I head out for my last full day in Italy. I wanted to share how insane the breakfast spread is at the Waldorf Cavalieri in Rome. And yes, that is the size of a piece of toast (above). It is the biggest piece of bread I’ve ever seen.
Today was a big day. I put on a dress and flats. I guess that really isn’t too significant but given that I’ve been wearing khaki shorts (some nautical print) and leggings (or jeggings)… it was a considerable departure. Plus, that knocks two more items off my “must wear it because you brought it” list.…
