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 […]
Kitchen Renovation: Part KILL ME NOW.
You guuuuuuuys. I have forgotten how to cook. I don’t know this to be a true fact just yet, but I was watching my line-up of PBS cooking shows this morning and as I sat on my couch, pouring half a gallon of coffee into my head, I realized that all I know how to […]
Renovation Domination
AND THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE. I know I promised some awesome home improvement videos and all. And believe me, I was totally excited about them. 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 […]

I’m keeping this short because the cabinet guy is here finishing the SUPER FRESH trim on the cabinets. And he’s installing […]
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 […]
Paprika Shrimp Over Creamy Egg Noodles
Yoooooou’re heeeere, there’s NOTHING I FEEEEAAAAR. That was the sound of my face at the end of Titanic (in 3D!) last night as the lights came up in the theater and tears bucketed from my eye sockets and my husband leapt from his seat and ran out of the room as fast as he could. […]
Simple Tandoori Chicken Naan Pizza
I’ve been on a mission, y’allins. A mission with high heels on. Just kidding. I’ve not worn high heels since I worked in a bank. Actually, I wore some cute brown chunky half heels with this cool strap to brunch this past weekend, but I guess that’s not rightly important right now. Let me start […]
Soba Noodles with Scallops and Vegetables
Slurp. Crunch. Chew. Pow. Zing. Faint. Repeat. That’s pretty much what we’re dealing with here, folks. A quadrafecta of bite by bite mouthal blowout. I discovered soba noodles a lawng time ago, in an old Domino magazine. Which BY THE WAY, am I crazy or did I hear it’s coming back? Like, only online? Or […]
