It feels like it’s been awhile since I’ve cooked. The last meal was this fabulous garden inspired tomato thyme fish. I’m beginning to crave meals like this insanely good (but salty) fish dish from last Winter or this chicken tagine from several years back. The past few weekends in the kitchen have mostly been spent…
Long weekends are seriously beautiful things. There is something so heavenly and magical about that bonus day when you can do anything you want. And perhaps because you already had two weekend days to do “life chores”, you can do the things that you really want to do – whatever that might be. And this…
I think in a very large part the gardening season is over. It’s unfortunately the month of October. While there are many upsides, I am really going to miss gardening season. I’m also not quite sure what I will talk about in any of my conversations. For the past 6 months, I started and ended…

I really love cooking but also really love having toast for dinner. I consider Kraft Mac & Cheese a delicacy. My go-to snacks are pretzels and goldfish.…
Things are happening. I met with my architect Heidi on Friday for drinks (and eating of course). She told me she will probably have plans in two weeks. TWO MOTHER FLIPPING WEEKS. I am going back and forth between being excited and terrified all at once. But in the meantime, Heidi gave me a few…
I’m wearing wool socks. That pretty much guarantees summer is gone right? I’ve also begun to look at my closet each morning and realize the light summer dresses are getting pushed further and further out of reach. Such a bummer. But I’m a little bit okay with all of this because Summer was pretty great. …
In general, I like to be really prepared for things. For example when I travel, I maintain printed and digital copies of any and all documentation that might even be required. Do you need to see that confirmation for the hotel in Bergen, Norway? Got it. Do you need to know how to potentially cross navigate an…
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…
