For a few hours today, I forgot how happy I was being just me. But I was quickly reminded of it as I listened to someone else wax on and on about their personal life. And how much they are trying to orchestrate their future. It just seemed so complex and not fun. Then I…
I think there are a few meals out there that people think are like way amazing and challenging… and they just are not. People like myself hate to break up this charade because, hey, I like to look cook when I make a simple meal that impresses. On this list? Red Velvet Cake, Roasted tomatoes….…
Welp, my hard drive died yesterday. Let’s all take a minute to mourn it. Thankfully, it’s a best possible situation (so far) in that… I have Apple Care and I had recently done a back-up. So hopefully all is not lost… and I can get started on my taxes soon. BUT! Today is the first day…
If you thought that when I gave up bacon for lent, I’d lead a clean healthy life …. you were majorly off base. I’ve just merely substituted bacon for chocolate and cheez-its. But not together. That just seems wrong. The candy jar in my apartment has been stripped clean of all my favorites. I started…
Last night I got home from the airport at 10pm. the previous three nights, I went to dinner at 10 pm. Yep, ladies and gentleman I was a bit of a baller. That is if your definition of a baller is staying up until 1 am, taking cat naps by the pool, and at one point noshing on…
Sometimes, life is about patiently stirring some rice in a skillet and making risotto. Sometimes, life is about realizing that your “collection” of cotton sundresses that are totes perfect for New England are “totes not perfect” for your weekend in Miami. Blurg. That is the reality that I’m coming to at 10:30 on a Monday night. I’ve…
Hey, guess what isn’t photogenic? Cauliflower. Like for reals. Hey, guess what is totally delicious? Cauliflower. Like for reals. I’m not sure what brought this delicious wonder to my computer screen, but it looked so good and it turned out that I already had the cauliflower in my fridge. Win! I’m not sure I’ve ever…
With a trip to Miami looming in the coming days, I wanted to make something a little bit “lighter”. There isn’t much excitement to this soup but it was light yet filling. Plus hey, I got to use leeks for the first time and if that isn’t exciting…. well I’m not sure what is. It’s the little…
taken at Marina Beach Reserve in October 2011 I’m not really one to talk about purging history. I quite literally have shoe boxes of cards, ticket stubs, and receipts hidden in my bedroom at my parent’s house. I blame my mom. Ever since we were little – or I guess as long as we were…
When I coerced my sister into spending a Winter weekend in Hyannis, I think she signed up expecting great views of the water. Thankfully, I was able to deliver those shortly after our arrival as you can see. But there was so many more “unique” moments that we needed to capture for posterity sake. It was quite…
