…Time is fleeting Madness… takes its toll… Happy Halloween! Lizz and I spent many a Halloween night through high school and college dressed up in fishnet tights, too much dark makeup, shouting inappropriate unscripted lines at the screen during the annual midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Haven’t seen it? OH the shame! You [...]
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 [...]
Have you all missed me?? I know I’ve missed you all… but it’s been a SUPER busy week full of celebrations that went way past my bedtime most nights. Therefore, blogging has taken a back seat. But I’m back today, and make sure you’re in a comfortable seat, you have about 3 days worth of [...]
It rained here for the last 3 days. Not drizzle, none of that weather like in the Pacific Northwest where it’s like standing in the produce section of the grocery store with a lovely light mist. Oh no. This was a torrential downpour that resulted in flood warnings, cancelled after school activities, and worse than [...]
I don’t think I can express in enough words how happy it makes me to see strawberries in the grocery store again. Not just any strawberries either. These are the big, bright red, juicy (get your minds out of the gutter) berries that are only wonderful this time of year. The ones that are red [...]
It’s a beautiful night, so I’m going to make this a fast one! I was planning on a simple meal of a quick pizza, but I didn’t take into account that I was using different flour for the dough… alas, I had to make it twice! Then, I forgot to spray my pan, so my [...]
Sometimes I end up with loads of random half containers of stuff in the fridge that I have no clue what to do with. Usually, I’ll go to the grocery store and supplement what I’ve got to make a recipe, but some days I want nothing to do with the grocery store! Some days, like [...]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last year, you’ve probably heard of Twilight by now. You’ve also probably heard of New Moon, the second installment of the Twilight series, recently made into a blockbuster movie which was released on DVD this weekend. I’m not as huge of a Twilight fan as some [...]
It has been quite a long week, and I’m beyond thrilled that tomorrow is Friday! We have a no-students-present institute day, which are always fun. Not that I don’t love my students, but sometimes it’s nice to hang out with adults. Sometimes, I’ll spend some time up in the main office at work and chat [...]
Today, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to cook. None. Zero. I knew what I have to cook for our staff potluck tomorrow, but I didn’t know about tonight’s dinner. What did I do? I used a bit of my after-school plan time to surf my favorite food blogs…and then it hit me! [...]
