THEY WORKED. The gougères that I was having a mammoth anxiety attack over before I even started making them. THEY WORKED! What’s a gougère? It’s a French cheese puff! A pastry of sorts. Savory. Life giving. And you know, I don’t know why I was so sissified to make them. They’re actually quite easy. You […]
FRIPPITY FROO. FRIDDILY DOO. Guys I think I have to go to jury duty. JURY DUTY. That dreaded bright yellow card landed itself in my mailbox the other day, and the moment I saw my full name in all caps on the front, my heartbeat immediately fell through my butt. JURY DUTY. So I filled […]
We got a new sofa! A LEATHER SOFA. And I want to eat it. Also, I’m warning you now. I took 98% of these photos, so there’s a loooot of foot pictures on their way to your eyeballs. Are you going to be okay? Okay. Remember a while back when I asked you guys about […]

Oh don’t look so shocked. The presentation […]
It was time. And guess what! This is totally going to be your new short-cut-go-to-James-Bond-voodoo-of-the-crafts pizza night. BECAUSE. Wait. Before we go any further, don’t paper cut me when you see that I used a pre-made pizza crust. It’s not even DOUGH, GUYS. Just the crust. Some nights call for this, so just love me […]
APRIL. (<—although right now it feels like Decemberrrrwaaaaaaahhhhhh.) But I’m fine. I’ll be fine. It’s fine. This photo ^^ is from our weekend Easter getaway to Fayetteville. It was warm during that very moment. The sun was shining. The blooms were singing in harmony and the flowers were wiggling with jubilation in the warm soil. […]
Frah Deeeeeeeeedoooooder. UM, something happened. Something so big happened, and I’m coming undone at my ever-loving seams to tell someone. You. Anyone. Because I’m sick of talking to the voices in my head. So, it was the other night. Saturday night. And you know what, I don’t think there was even a full MOON or […]
Ask, and you shall receive. Reggceive? Reggceive. No. Let’s make egg salad! NOW, I REALIZE that screaming isn’t necessary right now. So I’ll chill out and start over.
