I’m on vacation for a few days. It’s the first “vacation” that I’ve taken in pretty much exactly a year. December doesn’t count because I was between jobs… and so there was really nothing to relax from beside the previous day of cross-country skiing. I oscillate between really liking to maximize my days and wanting…
I’m at that point in the moving process where I probably hate you if you ever gave me a present. Why do I have so much stuff? Why doesn’t it look like I’m closer to be doing done? I think I’ve officially given up on the kitchen. I’m now willing to pay the movers to…
About two weeks ago, I bought 20 boxes off Amazon. 10 “office” size and 10 medium. If you count the boxes that they came in, plus a few others I’ve accumulated I think I have 25. I am relatively determined to move in these 25 boxes. I am ONE PERSON. But, I’ll be honest. I’m…
One year ago, I was doing this. I’ve been thinking a fair bit about how I wish I was doing that again… and now. I miss Italy. But, I’ll go back… and I’ll eat just as much gnocchi, prosciutto, and prosecco … if not more. Instead of going to Italy this April, I’ve been filling my…
In many ways I consider this North End apartment to be my first real apartment. It’s the first time that I’ve thoughtfully considered furniture before buying it. I made most of the curtains. Most of the wall art was made for each room specifically. But, I’m packing it all up. I just bought boxes on…
Sometimes I make better decisions than others. But, if the most questionable decision I made this weekend was attempting beef bourginon at 8 pm on a Sunday … then my decisions were a million times more responsible than the passed out drunks on the street this weekend. Holidays like St. Patrick’s Day were never really…
Today I found myself on essentially a children’s field trip … as an adult. I was oddly comfortable in the whole experience. Last weekend, I stumbled upon a posting for the “First Annual Maple Syrup Festival”. Obviously this piqued my interest… and I bookmarked it rather quickly. The idea of spending a couple hours traipsing…
A couple of months ago I stumbled upon a recipe for strawberry loaf and was immediately intrigued. It just kind of looked “happy”. You could see the bright red strawberries peeking out from the loaf. I saw it and just rather immediately wanted to make it … and then never got around to buying strawberries.…
I honestly felt like I had already written this up to be honest… but it deserves another post. Last weekend amidst prepping for a couple days in LA, I pumped two loaves of homemade bread out of my kitchen. One was more of a wheat loaf, the other just plain ole white. I had wanted…
I’ve documented my love of meatballs several times probably. I realized a few weeks back that I had completely cleaned out to my freezer stash of meatballs. It may seem like a weird dinner, but sometimes just a few meatballs is perfect are a long day with a grumbling stomach at the ready. Instead of…
