EVERYONE: Where are you going on your vacation? ME: Nowhere.

5 month check-in
Over the course of the years here, the balance of the posts have been on personal / daily / life updates … versus cooking. In the last two years or so, the swing has been much more towards documenting cooking adventures… and travel. It felt like the right time to chime in with an update…

If I won the lottery…
I’m not a betting woman. There are probably two main reasons for this. I hate losing and I hate wasting money. All that being said, the Powerball is at $1+ BILLION dollars. I’m just not even sure what one person does with that much money. So, I figured I’d make a list of what I…

Belated Christmas Post
In my mind, it is still Christmas. That is because I refuse to take down my tree and lights – or get rid of the poinsettias I have around the fireplace. Whatever, I live alone. Eleanor and I still think it’s a win to watch Netflix and gaze at all the lights. Don’t care. This…

Meet Marshall
I’m a big fan of the Timehop app on my phone. It might be one of the first things I look at each morning as I delay getting out of bed. These days my commute unfortunately propels me a little faster from the covers… and earlier to boot. This morning the app kindly reminded me…

farewell to my city garden
I won’t quite forget the moment my Super told me the apartment building was for sale. He quite literally handed me a shot of Lemoncello as he delivered that crushing blow. That’s being a bit dramatic but I’m a nester. I fall in love with where I live. I like the nooks and crannies of…

Busy living.
My mom has now asked me / commented on a few times that I haven’t been blogging. And that’s absolutely the truth. I clearly haven’t. I really value and love this blog. It is one of my favorite sources of history and documentation about my life – but I’m kind of busy right now. I’m…

sweet sweet summer season
I honestly can’t help myself when it gets to be Summer – or really even Spring for that matter. All I want in life is just to be outside, sun on my face, in a chair, iced beverages, and tending a garden. Is that asking too much? If I’m being honest, sometimes I actually think…
