FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFriday! (yes, I actually just typed the word. Don’t get used to it.) One of my favorite things in life is misunderstanding song lyrics. Oh no, not when *I* misread them, but when others do. It’s the very best. For instance, it might come as a surprise to you that we’ve been listening to a […]
Admit it, you’ve been waiting for this one. BUT HARK. It’s nothing new. Christmas jazz. Christmas swing. Christmas vintage. You know how I do. But! Maybe in a different order? I dunno. This feel of Christmas is my very favorite, so get in it and let it wash over you. (wash over you?) Without another […]
Aaaand we’re back! With an appetizer that will send your taste buds straight into orbit. So, when we were in Hermann for our little road trip last month, I was sipping a pinot noir at a wine tasting and talking with the winery owner about pairings. And while this is not an official pairing on […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr r r r r r r rrrrrr. Last week I got to say the words out loud to an actual human being friend, “I dropped the Burberry off at the dry cleaner.” I said those words! And I totally felt like I was in a Seinfeld episode because who even goes to the dry […]
And I do mean quick. So get amped. They’re sheet pan! And you need to know now, these measurements are meant to fiddle with. (my mom says fiddle with.) Complete springboard dinner idea for however much or however little you want to pile on and build. My family isn’t really into cheese (Nat is, but […]
I finally put up new curtain hardware! And we went French, baybuh. This simple (but effective!) kitchen tweak has been on my to-do list for eons. Long ago when we got the new casement windows I kept teetering between fabric or pull-down. Fabric or pull-down. I wanted to something billowy and airy, but would it […]
Frar. Dar. Flart. Sarm. Just how annoyed at me will you be if I tell you I’m 80% finished with Christmas shopping? Eighty percent! I knocked it HA-OUT yesterday, you guys. And by 80% I just mean with the kids. I haven’t touched family lists yet. That’s for post turkey. The kids’ goodies, though? Done. […]
A road trip through Missouri, at last! Even better, it was in autumn while the leaves were changing and she was showing off all of her gorgeous colors. So, okay, we basically had three days to do 87 million (fun!) things across my neighboring state, and did we achieve it? Heck yeah, we did. Missouri […]
Wait, is all minestrone vegetarian? Let’s not google it. I’m leaving the title. Also I’m leaving the chicken stock. So it’s not FULLY vegeta- never mind. This soup is a cold-weather-no-brainer. Beans and pasta for guts, loads of veggies for HAYELTH, some fire-roasted tomatoes because this is rebellion in the middle age, and a hit […]
FLAAAEEEERRRRRRRTTTTsam. Tell me what makes you HAPPY. And no, we’re going to get all therapyish here. Do you know me at all? I’m just genuinely curious – what makes you the happiest? And I’m not really talking about the broad scope of life – family, friends and health. Not that. Let’s go tiny. Let’s get […]
