April! About. frickin’. time. Not that I’m trying to wish life away. My jowls are squeezing the reins of time continuum like DUUUUUUUUDE CHIIIIILL. But the rest of me is super pumped to see April. First of all, today’s our anniversary! Wedding. 14 years. So insane. Secondly, I pick up kindergarten enrollment packs today and […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRUDERDAYDOODAH. I brushed my teeth with sunscreen. NOT ON PURPOSE, ya yahoo! Complete accident. Both are white. Both are also in a white tube. Both also have the exact same labeling. The only difference is the cap. One is flip up, and the other is twist off. But in my late night lethargic manner (and […]

But there’s this Thai restaurant in town that fries their tofu, and it is absolute bliss to eat. Crispyyyyyy and spongyyyyyy and spicyyyyyyy. UGH. I had to try it. So this recipe is sort […]
Shrimp Scampi with Tomatoes and Crusty Bread
Also known as, my five-year old daughter’s advanced tongue’s favorite food. SHRIMP. Isn’t that so bizarre?! She loves it. Craves it. Asks for it. And I’m always like, “SHRIMP? REALLY?

Thai Coconut Noodles
EVERYBODY’S GONE SLURPIIIIIN’, SLURPIN’ USA. Ummm, this is your new life. Your new got-nothing-to-make-for-dinner-so-noodles-it-is life. But Thai! Thai COCONUT AND PEANUT BUTTER.

Okay, it seems like […]

FRRRRRRReak out! FreakY, I meant. Like Freaky Friday. Never mind. 11 days, 15 hours, 51 minutes and 10 seconds (9. . .8. . .7) left UNTIL SPRING. Goodbye. I know it’s hard to believe with the naked eye, but this photo is not staged. What, you mean the yellow figure skating dress on the floor […]
Creamy White Beans with Roasted Cauliflower
And a lot of garlic! I just couldn’t find a place for it in the title. You know how you wake up one day and you’re like, “I WANT TO EAT A POT OF BEANS.” A pot of beans! I never just make “a pot of beans.” I think I thought about “a pot of […]
