Just a few photos and collages from the last couple days… Cupcake club made cupcakes with marshmallow and sugar flowers. I’ll do a tutorial on these soon because they were SO cute. Here’s the club’s work: And one of the few I made, it’s my favorite: And I had dinner last night with Lizz and [...]

I’ve waxed poetic about meals before. I’ve said before that a dinner was “the best ever”. I was wrong. I was invited by the lovely Jackie from I Am A Feeder to join her during the Chicago leg of her “great adventure” for the experience that is dinner at Alinea, the famous restaurant by chef [...]

I was honored to have been invited to none other than Jenn’s bridal shower who is getting married October 16, and there was no way that I was going to miss it! Jenn has been such a wonderful friend over the past (almost) two years, and I could think of nothing better than celebrating her [...]

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 [...]

I know I swore my cooking posts would start again today, but after last week’s simple non-postworthy recipes, the subzero (yes, actually BELOW ZERO) temperatures, and the severe lack of ingredients in the house, we opted for a carry-out Chinese dinner from one of our favorite places, China Wok. I’m a slacker, I know. Oh, [...]

Last night, Adam and I decided that it was time for an old-school “dinner and a movie” date night. Well, it ended up being “movie and dinner” as we went to the movies first. Since we were away right after Avatar came out, we finally got on the bandwagon and contributed to its billions-of-dollars success. [...]
