When a day like today rolls around in the midwest, you stop, breath and take it in. The high is 80 degrees and the humidity has kindly done a disappearing act. I cry. To celebrate, I got out the blanket, my newest food magazines and made a most delightful lunch inspired by a recipe I [...]

The Crying Game

My house is crying. It looks and feels like someone had surgery a few days ago. It’s calling out to me, begging for attention. I think I even heard a snarky whisper, “stop blogging and start making me pretty already.” I point to the man with the missing nose and say, “do you SEE what [...]

This Was Not Halloween Dinner

I’d sit here for hours and tell you all about the fantastic weekend we had with our family if I didn’t have a kitchen to clean, candy to hand out to trick-or-treaters and a stack of classic Halloween movies to watch cozy by the fire.
