ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED! WINNER ANNOUNCED HERE! I got a bunch of emails, comments, and tweets asking me to do a tutorial for the giant bulky infinity scarves I’ve been crocheting. Usually, when I get a request for something, even if it’s just one of you, I’ll go for it… So, this is my infinity [...]
Happy Halloween all! I hope your day is full of candy, cute costumes, pumpkins, and fun scares! We ended up with take-out last night (What? I got lazy.) so there’s no dinner post. I didn’t want you all to hang in suspense about the winner of the Blog Anniversary/Thanks for still reading after an annoying [...]
Usually, when I mistakenly buy something at the grocery store, I will know what to do with it. Too many mushrooms? No problem! A strange-looking squash? DONE! An extra package of bacon? Is this really a problem? A first for me happened the other day though. I mentioned yesterday that I accidentally bought one bunch [...]
Hi Everyone! Lizz here, from A Little Bit of This and That. While Mara is off jetsetting in Arizona, I get to take over! Muahahaha!! (Maniacally laughing while twisting my handlebar mustache) So here’s the deal…I write a blog that would be most closely categorized as a “Mommy-blog”. I write about all sorts of things [...]
I like bullet point lists. Since there are a lot of “things” to tell/show you all, I’ll make a bullet point list. Sounds reasonable, yes? I had a lovely day today with my mom. We went and got pedicures, went out for crepes, shopped at a fabulous accessories store, and went to IKEA. Adam and [...]
I give up trying to be wordless. It just doesn’t happen! So, we’ll call it “Slightly Loquacious Wednesday” instead. A couple days ago I made pork bao buns. They were pretty good, but not perfect. I’ll have to try again. I also made whole wheat linguine with clams. It was amazing and I was [...]
Instead of a Wordless Wednesday this week, we’re going with a different W that I don’t talk about on here a lot. Water. I don’t know about you, but I drink a TON of water. I mean, about 100 oz or more per day. It started as a habit when I first started Weight Watchers [...]
After an overwhelming “hell yes!” reaction when I asked if you, my readers, wanted to see a “favorite things” post, I figured, what the heck, I’ll go for it. I’m not going to give away a car, cuckoo clock, or twin bed set, but I will be giving away a $75 CSN Stores gift certificate [...]
About 3 weeks ago, the lovely people at Kikkoman sent me a HUGE box of goodies with one intent: create a “practice” Thanksgiving meal using their products, and share my ideas with you, my readers! I jumped at the chance because, believe it or not, I’d never made a turkey. Once our Thanksgiving plans were [...]
Have I told you exactly how much I love goat cheese? In case you didn’t have an idea, just the mere search for “goat cheese” on this little blog of mine results in no fewer than 29 posts mentioning the deliciously creamy cheese. I think I have a problem. Luckily, I have an enabler to [...]
