Creamy and dreamy. Are you seeing this? I have 150 pages of left of The Great Alone and every time I make a food, eat a food, look at a food I think, “The Allbrights really would have liked this. Well, Cora and Leni would. ERNT can eat his own toenails.” What was I saying? […]
Turkey and Vegetable Meatball Sub Sandwiches
It’s January and we’re eating meatball subs, okay? Actually, do you call them subs or hoagies or grinders? And it’s okay to call them everything because it’s the new year and the world is yours. I call them subs. Because when I was young with no jowls, I used to be OBSESSED with the little […]
Monthly Mixtape: Honey and Sugar and Mayonnaise
New yeaaaaar! New like, everything. Year, decade, century, millennium, myrioi, megaannum, all of it. Don’t argue with me about this, just smile and look pretty.

Baked Cheesy Shallot and Prosciutto Pinwheels
Happy In-Between Christmas and New Year where we have no idea how to act or what to be or what to do, yaaaaay! I suppose we’ll have to make an absurdly delicious New Year’s Eve appetizer in the meantime. That feels like a solid choice to my soul and gut and waist line. Speaking of, […]

Do You Have To Let It Linger? Yes, Actually You Do.
There simply aren’t human words that can accurately articulate how much the combination of this song + this experience means to me. Besides the entire onslaught of words I’m about to unload on you. Ohhhh, The Cranberries. Any of you who were real-life friends with me back in the day might remember that there was […]
Salami Soup with Farro, Beans and Kale
It’s mid December and I feel like slurping, okay? And yes, that would be hard salami in that thar soup. This is the way I rebel in life, you see. I’m a 43 year old woman who reads fiction novels, drinks chamomile tea and goes to bed at 8:55pm JUST LET ME HAVE THIS. But […]
Friday Flotsam
FFFFFFFFFFFra la la la laaaa la la la DAY. (<–did that even work?) I like a good gift guide. It’s not even the gifts that I’m so drawn to. It’s the collection. It’s the pretty arrangement of products on white backgrounds with a sophisticated font luring me in. I might only notice 5% of the […]
Caramelized Onion Burgers
“IN THE BURGER?” (name that movie. but instead of burger it’s computer. in the computer. never mind.) But really, the onions are IN THE BURGER. Not on top, bunnies. IN. In. Isn’t this so exciting?! On top of that, literally, we’re melting so much Roth Grand Cru grated cheese you’ll lose your entire mind just […]
Spinach and Mushroom Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
Well hello, lover. I didn’t see you there. Actually I did because I made you, sobbed over you, photographed you, sang to you, snarfed you, edited you, uploaded you, placed you here and then seanced over you. But I still think you’re sexy Lexie and I want to show you off. Yes I’m talking to […]
