FRRRRRRRRRRRillylillyloo. You want to know something that makes me crazy? (you’re like, you mean besides everything?) In movies (and tell me if you’re the same), when someone receives or delivers a bouquet of flowers, and things don’t go quite as planned, and the FLOWERS ARE THE ONES TO PAY. Gettin’ thrown and dumped and trashed […]
How to Paint Your Fireplace White. And . . . is it worth it?
We painted the inside of our fireplace white! Which I’m sure by the laws of brains and decisions and common sense makes me certifiably loony. But A) I wanted to do this to see if it worked (wait why are you laughing?). And B) I wanted to document it so that I could share the […]
Flatbread Ranch Pizzas with Canadian Bacon and Tomatoes
Just want to make sure you caught the word ranch in the title. Ranch pizzas. These are ranch pizzas. There’s ranch in them. You know when you say a word so many times you don’t know what it is or if it’s right anymore? That just happened with ranch. Why does it sound weird? It’s […]
Friday Flotsam
Fffffffffffffffffffffffffrome on doooooown! (<–can’t believe it took me that long.) Who is Allen? And – who is this Phillip? And more critically, what makes them think they just go around naming wrenches and screwdrivers? Are they buddies? Because if you name a tool after yourself, you’re definitely not “friends,” you’re “buddies”. Do you think Allen […]
Angel Hair Pasta with Leeks, Mushrooms and Bacon
I almost typed angle hair pasta. And by almost I mean I typed angle hair pasta. So hark it, another under-ten-ingredient recipe for your face and mouth! Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it lacks. Because see that lemon? Secret weapon. Which I know you know, but I just feel like talking, you know? Let’s […]
Curried Egg Salad Croissant Sandwiches
Because curried egg salad felt like the right recipe to kick off the new year! OKAY. You caught me. What was supposed to be the first recipe of the year was going to be a casserole, but it FLAWPED. (which is “flopped”, but in southern speak.) I’m only letting you know about this failure because […]
Friday Flotsam
FrrrrrrrrooooooaaaahhhI had to brush off the dust in here! Hi hi! Proofing bowls. (just jumping right in.) Do I neeeeeed one? And also, do you call it a proofing bowl or a proofing basket? It looks baskety, but in a bowl shape. And I do not want to get this wrong with my bread heads. […]
Monthly Mixtape: Make Your Bed and Water Your Plants and Put on a Bra
Not that you’re not already wearing a bra. Just in case you needed the nudge, though. Never mind. Happy new mixtape daaaaay! And honey, is it a delicious one. There’s no real theme, but the overall mood of this . . . just that. Mood. Which is obnoxiously vague, so let me try again. It’s […]
Top Ten Moments of 2020
Happy New Yeaaaar! Everything went completely back to normal today, right? No? Oh. Well, before we violently shove, kick and bury 2020 into the deepest and darkest corner of our cerebrum, I want to share with you my top ten favorite things/moments/discoveries/whathaveyous from this year! Last year. And zero has to do with a news […]
2020 In Books!
We done got readered! (just kidding, mom, I know how to form sentences.) (I think.) FIFTY.FIVE.NOVELS. That’s what we (well, Ashlee and I) read this year. 55! I’m not sure if it was (is?) the combination of being home ALL THE TIME, or needing to escape reality, or the cerebral slack-slash-forgiveness in other life departments, […]
