If you’re anything like me, you probably spend at least a solid couple of hours per week on Pinterest. Pinterest, man! It just grabs you and doesn’t let go. Pinterest has actually brought lots of good things to my life — through Pinterest, I’ve learned how to clean out my dishwasher, how to make my … Continue reading
A few weeks ago I learned something incredible — women look their absolute worst at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. Doesn’t that sound both crazy and also 100% true? According to the study, the wine you (probably) drank Saturday night, combined with the poor night’s sleep you (probably) got on Monday, combined with the extra stress … Continue reading
Everyone a little tired this morning from staying up late watching the Oscars? I love how they’re trying to promote the Oscars as being on par with (or, heh, the “female equivalent” of ) the Super Bowl. In fact, it took me forever to realize that the Oscars were last night, because all the promos … Continue reading
Apparently science has proven that women eat more when they’re with other women, but when you throw a man into the mix, they magically eat less. And to science, I say — puh-huh! Has anything ever been less true? I actually did a little “science” myself and proved this theory wrong — repeatedly — at … Continue reading
Guys, we are a DIVIDED COUNTRY. But you knew that, right? I’m not talking about Congress or politics or any divisive issues (phew, right? scared you!) — I’m talking about what I’m always talking about. My favorite thing to talk about. Food. Maybe it’s because I’ve lived in a couple of different parts of the … Continue reading
Back when my husband and I were first dating, he took me out to a fancy restaurant for some reason or other — maybe it was Valentine’s Day. Anyway, it was one of those restaurants where everything on the menu looked amazing and I couldn’t possibly decide what to get, so when the waitress came … Continue reading
The other day, I was talking with one of my friends about the “paleo” diet vs. vegetarianism. I don’t know a ton about paleo, but apparently there’s friction between the paleo people and the vegetarians, because the paleos think we should be eating meat, just meat that hasn’t been treated with hormones or subjected to … Continue reading
Just to state the obvious here, but this is a food blog. So if you’re reading this, I imagine you’re either (a) a blood relative of mine, or (b) at least mildly interested in cooking and eating food. So, relatives and fans of cooking, what do you think of this? Apparently there is this European … Continue reading
When I was growing up, my dad did the majority of the weeknight dinner-making. I don’t think that cooking is an activity he finds especially enjoyable (unless it involves using his meat smoker or other manly outdoor cooking methods), but he consistently had a warm, tasty dinner on the table for us to eat as … Continue reading
Remember a couple of years ago when everyone figured out that you could see what age and gender Google thought you were based on your search history? I don’t know if you can still access that information, but I checked back then, and Google definitely had my number — female aged 25-34. Must’ve been the … Continue reading
