Mission accomplished! We successfully managed to scrounge up whatever was left in the fridge, pantry and garden for a quick “gettin’-out-of-town-for-a-few-days” dinner. Well, when I say “we,” I actually mean Aaron. You see, all day long yesterday I felt completely dried up on dinner ideas. (After my delicious lunch that is.) On the verge of […]
Mama, it’s HOT. Today I was in the middle of a patio deep clean and I’m absolutely sure my skin slid off my body and oozed onto the concrete. That’s pretty gross. Too gross for a food blog? Let me try this again. What a wonderful summer day we had! (better?) Gosh, the warmth of […]
After a rental car trip from St. Augustine to Jacksonville, 2 flights with a stop in Dallas, a shuttle bus to our car in the economy parking lot, and the half hour treck to our house, we made it home. Tired, sunburned and one of us with a broken toe due to surfing (not me) […]
We’re back! And boy oh boy, have we found ourselves a luscious garden. I’ll share more soon, but for now, to prepare a simple garden dinner and keep Aaron away from peeling my sunburned skin. Too much?

A […]
Who says getting a workout is impossible while under the weather? With all this coughing and blowing my nose, my stomach is this shy of a washboard. Or, it might just be the fog in my head causing hallucinations. THAT explains seeing Jude Law holding a garden hose and wearing a tutu in the women’s […]
This weekend I: * Washed some windows * Washed 7 winter blankets * Washed the dog * Washed my face with a brand new bar of my favorite Burt’s Bees face soap * Washed and sterilized my kitchen counters * Watched Aaron wash his nose 794 times * Washed my hair (I no longer look […]
I know. I know. I cooked shrimp like 5 minutes ago. But when the man with the dangling nose requests shrimp with green beans and rice, I obey. I jump up and down like a 5-year old girl about to pee her pants because she loves shrimp so much, then I get to cooking. I […]
Today was one of those days where I drove home in a brain-fried haze and walked into my house wondering if I was even in the right house. I remember petting a little black, happy animal. I’m not sure what it was. As my eyes began to focus, so did my stomach. So, of course […]
