So, we’ve been planing the menu for this birthday party for like a month, actually probably more. When I first started to think about it, I thought about any dish that would be theoretically easy to prep ahead of time and wouldn’t be bad leftovers. So with the menu set to be hot dogs, mac…
Prior to leaving the city, I don’t think I ever had so many “projects”. I’m honestly not sure what I did with all my time. I think I spent a little more time at the office and I worked out more. Like regularly, as opposed to the irregularly with which I get to yoga now.…
I still have a pretty big backlog of posts that could be written – but since we are officially one week into this project for real – as opposed to for fake…. let’s summarize what’s happened. After a series of false starts, the demo officially started last Wednesday! When I had been invisioning this day,…
As I write this, I’m sitting in bed typing and pretty much waiting for the sun to come up. I need it to come up so that I can go and look at the progress that happened on the house while I was at work yesterday. It’s a delicate balance of timing because (1) it’s…
That title could be applicable to so many things. But in this case, I’m referencing two. This blog… and this house. After a stressful six months, this project is actually starting. Truth be told we are actually on day four of demo as I write this. There are about a million posts that I could…
First of all. I recognize that this just looks like a pile of melted cheese. But – it isn’t. It is so much more than that. It is a tomato pie. Tomato Pie has been sitting on my kitchen to-do list for about a month. Pretty much ever since the moment I knew it existed.…
While it’s only been about a week since the last recap, I feel the need to document another update. The reason? The whole thing could be decimated by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Jose by Wednesday. WTF. The idea of the wind turning all my tomatoes into a homemade windblown tomato fight seems terrible, so I’m trying to…
It’s been over a month since the last garden update and a lot has happened. The majority of the tomatoes flipped from green to red, the beans have been harvested, and so far none of the giant tomato caterpillars have arrived. Small victories. A little part of me is nervous every morning that I weave…
I’m going to admit that I’ve slightly overdone it with the tomatoes, burrata, and pretty much pesto of any form. It is pretty much the only thing that I’ve eaten for several weeks now. The fact that I’ve tired of burrata is terrifying to me. But – this season is fleeting and I’d rather eat…
I am not a chocolate person per say. I skew bacon and salt. I know those aren’t the same – but it’s true. I have an addiction to salt. I got it from my grandmother along with night terrors – both great traits. I’m a real catch. All that being said, I have frequently send…
