So, I’ve Been Thinking.

Processed with VSCOcam with s2 preset

Does that scare you? I don’t know what it is, but I’m feeling a shift. Maybe it hasn’t even happened yet, or maybe it’s about to. Or maybe I’m already in the middle of it. Maybe it’s already behind me. Or maybe it’s never coming. Maybe I just need a taco. #science You’re like, “I […]

I bought a different brand this time, because the block was bigger and had a hip, clean font on the […]

Kids, I’m going to go ahead and just get this first photo out of the way, so that by the end of this post your stomach muscles will have kicked the lid off the tickle box and burned it down. As the date above shows, this was the year 2000. (said like Conan) But it […]

Thai Three-Bean Salad

I’ve been just Thai-ing to show you this. You’re already mad at me. I created this recipe for my in-laws’ huge annual 4th of July pool party in Fayetteville. I was absurdly excited about it, until I set it down on the serving table next to exactly 38426534 other salads. Blast! It was still good […]
