Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all had a wonderful day, whether attached or not… After being surprised with a mani/pedi from one of my favorite spas, Adam and I spent a relaxing day at the public library and doing our taxes, and then got going on tonight’s special romantic meal. It’s such a stereotype: [...]
Just going to be honest with you here… I have the Super Bowl on right now, but only to listen for commercial breaks! The commercials are all that my students will talk about tomorrow, and I have to be up on what was shown! Apparently, I already missed a couple… Since we’re not having a [...]
I mentioned yesterday that it had been three years exactly since my grandma passed away, and that she, along with my mom, are two of the main reasons that I learned to cook and love food. I decided some time ago that today, the Friday evening after the anniversary of her passing, that I would [...]
When we registered for our wedding, many of the kitchen gadget decisions were left up to me. Adam agreed that we needed a new can opener, and vegetable peeler, and new measuring cups… but some things were all me. One of these gadgets was something that had both fascinated and scared the crap out of [...]
I’d never heard this acronym until I joined Facebook two years after I graduated college (you gotta remember, I’m older than most of you!) and all of a sudden, there were these groups called: Fu** I. Never. Actually.Learned. This. Sh** Which, coincidentally, I think is hilarious. I know many of you are in the throes of [...]
I have a terrible issue. I, apparently, am incapable of eating a meal, (particularly while wearing a white top and eating something red), without spilling on myself. It’s truly a miracle that I didn’t spill steak sauce on my wedding dress! I don’t own one white t-shirt, tank top, or blouse without some sort of [...]
Thanks so much for deciding FOR me what was for dinner tonight!! I had a whopping 56 voters, and the poll results ended like this: The winner by a landslide was Spanakopita, or Greek spinach pie. I was really glad too, because I’ve had a taste for it for weeks! My mom used to make [...]
¡Hola! I hope you’ve all been having a fantastic weekend so far. Why do I say so far? Well, I’m off tomorrow, so my weekend is still going! I spent the better portion of the last two days shopping with two of my bridesmaids for their dresses for our wedding. See, I didn’t want to [...]
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! [...]
It’s been a lazy Friday afternoon, which is just what I needed after this SUPER LONG short week. Does anyone else have this happen? Short weeks seem really long? We went out when I got home from school in search of a printer. We started at Best Buy, and ended up at, what I call [...]
