Most of the time I go grocery shopping by myself, but every so often my husband comes with me. He is always a good sport, but I have my suspicions that he capital-H Hates it. I’m pretty sure it all started [as these things do] a couple of years ago when I found a jar … Continue reading
I like meat plenty and I have no intentions of becoming a vegetarian anytime soon. That said, I do generally like vegetarian meals and can often go a couple of days without eating any meat and not even realize it. The thing about vegetarian meals, though, is that some of them are truly VEGETARIAN — … Continue reading
I know I’m not alone in food blogger land when I say that I’m not the hugest fan of the Super Bowl. There are lots of good things about the Super Bowl — the food, obviously, but also the commercials and the fact that it marks the point at which winter is halfway over — … Continue reading
You’ve probably seen articles over the last few years talking about how the average age of first-time mothers has been steadily rising — by something like four years (from having your first kid at 21 to having it at 25) over the last couple decades. I think there are lots of reasons to celebrate this … Continue reading
[If you’re seeing this for the second time, I apologize for the little blogging hiccup!] Soooo. With the NFL season rapidly drawing to a close, I have to ask. Fantasy football — yay or nay? I am generally pro-fantasy football. I don’t have much direct experience with it — never been in a league, never … Continue reading
By this point in 2013, we’ve all forgotten about our New Years resolutions, right? Your fingernails are freshly bitten, you’ve had a cookie in the past 24 hours, and and your spare bedroom/hall closet/kitchen cabinets are just as disorganized as ever. It’s OK — we’re all friends here. I won’t judge you for not making … Continue reading
Happy inauguration (and MLK!) day! If you didn’t realize it was inauguration day, I don’t blame you — it goes quasi unnoticed in lots of parts of the country. But when you live in DC, it’s pretty hard to miss, because there are — oh I don’t know — a billion extra people on the … Continue reading
According to Wikipedia (which I accept as an absolute authority in all aspects of life, so don’t go putting anything weird on there), there are almost 200 different kinds/shapes of pasta. The list includes things like couscous and gnocchi, but a lot of the varieties on there are just different shapes of the same thing … Continue reading
One thing I’ve realized more and more as I learn my way around the kitchen is that I don’t always have a lot of confidence in my tastes and opinions. When something sounds objectively good, I will work very, very hard to make myself like it, but it almost never works out. Examples of this … Continue reading
When my husband and I were planning our wedding, I got disproportionately stressed out about the whole bridal registry thing. I tried very hard to register only for things that I thought we’d actually use — we asked for plain dinner plates instead of china, I skipped registering for a blender even though my current … Continue reading
