Bewks! I mean books! I mean berks! Never mind. Okay, it’s March 11th. I remember one year ago today I was shooting a recipe whilst listening to NPR, and I’ll never forget the feeling of hearing that the WHO (not the band) had just declared Covid a global pandemic. Remember that? It’s been a year. […]
Creamy Bowtie Pasta with Chicken and Tomatoes
Remember that whole trendy tomato and feta bake thingy from all those few days ago? This isn’t that. But! It’s kind of like it. Except there’s no feta in it, and it has chicken and cream added. So, exactly the not same. Wait, what? This is sort of a reverse bake. But so not complicated, […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRRRoobydooby. Day? Day. What are those little things that expand in your mouth and cut through your gums at the dentist when you’re getting x-rays?

FRRRRRRRRRRRRRaeiouday! The other day Will asked me, “Mom, do ghosts have udders?” and I just feel like that needs to be right here, opening this blog post, for the world to see. Let’s take a moment to appreciate that question. Do ghosts have udders? I didn’t even answer him. I just looked at him, hugged […]
No-Knead Parmesan and Poppy Seed Crusty Bread
I’ve started and stopped and re-written and stopped and backspaced this opener thirteen fifty times because are you kidding there are NO WORDS. Your new favorite no-knead bread. To die for. Show stopping. Tiny melted surprise parmesan pockets of glory. Crispy crusty outside speckled with poppy seed. The most comforting pillowy texture inside. And you […]
Seafood Noodle Soup
It’s really just shrimp, but when you say seafood you’re going places. I made this soup a couple times leading up to deciding I needed to shoot and slap it on the blog for you. I’m not sure what took me so long because it’s totally a this blog type of recipe. Simple, vibrant, not […]

FFFFFFFerder. Want to know what I love most about a court trial? THE SKETCHES. Who made that up, you think? It’s not because cameras aren’t allowed because we’ve all binged true crime documentaries like unhinged nutcases. Listen, you can’t have a legit trial without a solid courtroom sketch artist. I remember being somewhat curious about […]
We Got New Kitchen Windows! And Now I Want 500 More.

Well we got some! Sort of. In a non-abandoned castle way. Want to see? Of course you do. So they’re not […]
