Summer foooood, and the eating is easy. The older I get, the more I want to punch summer in the nuts. Don’t get me wrong! The idea of summer is always fabulously romantic and lazy and golden and relaxed. But the reality of summer is bugs, bug bites, sweaty armpits, bugs, faces sliding off heads, […]
Summer just got real, yo. Oh! We saw our first firefly last night. And by that I mean I was freaking out in a full-blown breakdown in our back yard watching a giant clumsy bat wobbling around in the deep twilight between two tall oak trees. And then as I finally settled down and calmed […]
Would you believe I spelled Mediterranean right on the first try? Seriously. No squiggly lines, no buzzing alarms, no firetrucks, no handcuffs. Looks like I don’t have to enroll for self-esteem camp after all! I’m also noticing that sliiiiight shift in afternoon light as we get closer and closer to the ‘Embers. That’s what I’ve […]
I put a cheeseburger in a salad. Is that cool with you? Of course it is, you’re not made of GRAVEL. I also made a pub dressing that I think you might take a shining to. Do you remember the pub sauce from my pub burger post a long time ago? It’s the same thing! […]
Last time I’ll eeeeeever ever ever ever ever mention Thanksgiving or turkey or taters or leftovers or gobble or gibble or gooble or geeble, I swear it! Not really though on the gobble through geeble part. Oh! Let’s start a jam band called Gobble Through Geeble. I’ll play banjo. And wear a hemp necklace. Have […]
Happy Halloween! And welcome back to this week’s theme, Why Didn’t I Think of That, the story of a young woman’s journey through the pages of success born from the hands and minds of her foodie peers that she’s not jealous of at all – their cookbooks. In my head I sound like Ira Glass. […]
Meatball-eh meatball-eh! Okay. I’m already royally scrizzed for this month. See, Aaron and I have this tradition. And I should know better, really. Each Halloween we watch scary movies. And they’re across the board scary. Like, Scream-scary, Rosemary’s Baby-scary, Poltergeist-scary, Joan Rivers documentary-scary. Anything goes. But a couple of days ago we accidentally totally on […]
Can you believe Memorial Day is like 5 minutes from now? Can you believe I totally spaced on it and picked a detox week right smack dab in the middle of one of the grillingest, drinkingest, party on the patio-ingest, oh oops I just fell in the pool with all of my clothes on-ingest weekends […]
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 […]
Can you believe I’m not wrapping something up in a goldarned tortilla? I know! But before we begin, did you see my boyfriend sing last night right after having kidney stone surgery? Uh, surgery made him hotter. Something about the removal of the kidney stones definitely made his eyes even more piercing and sparkly and […]
