I’m baaaaaaack! And full-fledged, so you better watch yo’self. You might not recognize me right off the bat, not seeing pictures of rusty nails, dry wall and grout paste or whatever. And that’s okay! Even if it takes you some time to remember me and the actual food I post on this blog, I won’t […]

Asian Turkey Lettuce Cups
I have a kitchen. A real life kitchen with lights and electricity. A real life kitchen with water and soap and hand lotion. A real life kitchen with a sink so large, Hugh Hefner himself would glow at the possibilities. A real life kitchen with drawers so soft and slick, I’ll no longer look like […]
Kitchen Renovation: Part TRACK LIGHTING AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

Grilled Chicken Kebab Caesar Salad
I’m covered in dust. My armpits and nostrils are speckled with white latex paint. My hair has frog tape stuck in it. Every appliance I own is in my living room. Or in my back yard. Or in my front yard. Or in my hair under some frog tape. BUT! It’s taking shape and I’m […]

But every time I remembered to start shooting the video, I realized I hadn’t showered since before Easter and that my little Iphone camera makes me look worse than a mound […]
I Wasn’t Kidding About The Help.
I’M STILL ALIVE, YOU GUYS. I haven’t tried to hang myself yet. Although my little pup is so scared of all of the hammering, sawing and drilling that I caught her trying to stab through her own jugular on our fence. The last couple of days have been loud, messy, messy, loud, loud, messy, messy, […]
Help Me.
You know how when you start a remodeling project you’re like, “We’re just gonna do this, this and this. And that’s it. That’s all. Totes easy.” And then it begins and suddenly you’re like, “I WANT A BALANCING SWAN ON A TIGHT ROPE OVER THE STOVE WITH THIRTEEN FOUNTAINS AND A BUILT IN GLOW IN […]

Poached Chicken Pesto Salad
A little poem for you. . . The storm clouds are hoverin’. My coffee’s gone cold. My kitchen looks like a sink hole. I even spotted some bread mold. The husband has a birthday today. I’ll mow the lawns for him. He still has good hair, they say. He need notteth even a trim. Speaking […]
