I’ve done a lot of things in my life. I’ve swam with dolphins, made bread from scratch, negotiated lower mechanic bills and briefly visited North Korea. Also, other things that qualify me to be a working professional in an office. But, let me tell you… starting a house project is like trying to organize a…

Especially one that was originally built in 1910… and I don’t want to expand the footprint. Changing the footprint means needing to ask for permission and I’d like to avoid talking to anyone about permission…
I’m still holding on tight to any element of summer that I can grasp. Despite my wardrobe beginning to adjust, I’m holding off on switching to Fall flavors. I’m not ready for root vegetables, cranberries, and stews. I still want caprese salads. In direct correlation, I was having someone over for dinner this weekend. We…
I recently cleaned out my freezer and truly discovered what was hiding in the depths of those drawers. The answer? Blueberries and perhaps some real sad soup recipes that I have no intention of ever eating. Also, pounds of butter and not nearly enough frozen waffles. I love frozen waffles.
Ah tomato jam! File this recipe under “way too easy”, “fast”, “super unique”, and many other things. I first made a tomato jam back in 2012 when I lived in my very crooked North End apartment. I gave away most of the jars that I made pretty much because I didn’t really appreciate the diverse…
I think I’m currently at month ten of living in the suburbs. Give or take. Through a variety of circumstances I’ve recently had the opportunity to think about this decision more. I switched onto a new project at work and when people find out that my commute is 90 minutes long … each way… the…
Like any big project, I’ve been delaying the things that are hard and nebulous. But the way to tackle things that are big are to make them smaller. In this specific case, I’m going to make a case for the things that I care about the most… and then slowly work my way through them.…
The original plan for this sauce was different. I was going to grill some swordfish and make some sort of carrot puree… and then use this sauce. But, then I got hungry and went back to my old friend the sliced tomato. Not any old sliced tomato of course, but my beautiful garden fresh sliced…
It’s been about 3 weeks since the last garden update. Ever since that date, a whole lot has changed. The garden literally exploded with produce. Specifically tomatoes. It legitimately happened the very next day. I was in the garden and began to pull out my expected 2-3 ripe tomatoes and just did not stop until…
Maine. You sweet lovely land. This was my 6th visit to Maine for Labor Day weekend. I had a great streak going for several years but couldn’t make it last year. Dumb work got in the way. So this year, I took off a few extra days and snuck up to Maine before the weekend…
