How was your weekend, friends? Good weather, good friends, good food, good times? The good news for me is that I stretched a two-dayer into a four-dayer by taking Thursday and Friday off work. The bad news for me is that it’s a lot harder to go back to work after a long weekend than … Continue reading
So we all know that cooking meals that make tons of leftovers can be somewhat of a drag, because no one likes to eat the same thing night after night after night. But even so, I can’t really imagine hocking my leftover shrimp burgers for some other dude’s leftover spaghetti and meatballs in some sketchy, … Continue reading
So I usually make sure to steer clear of talking politics on this blog, and I have to imagine you all appreciate that. But recent circumstances have changed such that I have to speak up: apparently if this government shutdown occurs, us DC-ians will lose out on having our trash collected.* Not cool, Congress! I … Continue reading
Ugh, guys. As I write this, I’m experiencing what is perhaps the ultimate First World Problem. And recognizing that it’s a First World Problem, while marginally more mature than the alternative…doesn’t make it any less annoying. Basically what I am trying to say is that the Emmys are on at the same time as the … Continue reading
Every morning on my way to work, I walk past this cute little sandwich shop that has a chalk board announcing the current specials. For the last couple of weeks, their special has been a ham and Swiss on rye with Dijon mustard. And even though I’m not the kind of person who eats breakfast … Continue reading
I’ve gotten lots of good feedback lately on my little bloggy-blog, and the consensus seems to be clear: too many recipes that take way too long, have too many steps, and too many ingredients. Listen. I hear you. If I were the kind of person who hated cooking and wanted to spend as little time … Continue reading
Happy Monday, everyone! I’m in a good mood because tomorrow is our two-year wedding anniversary! And, I have to say, we’re really crushing this marriage thing. Just knocking it out of the park. Still liking each other and still remembering to keep the bathroom door closed. Just like I like it 🙂 Given my vast … Continue reading
I’m not sure if this has come up on the bloggy-blog before, but I’m an only child. And while I think us only children are unfairly maligned in a number of ways, I can’t help but admit that “sharing” is not one of our strengths. For me personally, it’s not that I’m bad at sharing … Continue reading
Even though this blog now has more than two hundred recipes on it (!), this is not the only place where I keep track of recipes. Not by a long shot. The blog has recipes I’ve tried, enjoyed, managed to photograph, and felt were worth sharing…but I’ve got hundreds (thousands?) of other recipes in my files, … Continue reading
So I have this new obsession that I’ve debated sharing with all of you because it’s sortof…lame? Embarrassing? Completely uninteresting to people born before 1975 or after 1990? Those factors aside, I’m going to share it anyway, because if you’re uninterested in it, whatever, but if you’re interested, I’ve just made your whole life. It’s … Continue reading
