Sometimes I get mad at the way advertising companies trick me. World’s greatest commercial aside, they do some sneaky stuff. You know Coffee Mate coffee creamer? I saw some ad for Thin Mint flavored coffee creamer the other day, and I was like — kinda wanna try that. Would I feel the same way if … Continue reading
Everyone in full-on baseball mode today? I have to admit that I am not the world’s biggest MLB fan…I like the game and I’ve always enjoyed watching little leaguers play, but sometimes I think it’s just a little weird that so many people are so interested in watching grown men play baseball for money. Still. … Continue reading
Is there anything — anything — that makes you feel stupider than huffing and puffing to an aerobics video in your own living room? The answer is no. Don’t ask me why, but whenever I do one (which used to be never and now is occasionally), I can’t help but picture some big, hulking, masculine … Continue reading
Hi friends! Hope you all had a good weekend! I sure did — yesterday I went to my first NFL game! I got my husband Bears-Redskins tickets for his birthday, and even though the Bears lost, it was an exciting, close game and perfect football weather. I only wish the Redskins fans had been a … Continue reading
Things I loved when I was little: ketchup, BBQ sauce, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, salsa, etc. Things I hated when I was little: tomatoes. Things I haven’t 100% come around on even though I am practically 30 years old: tomatoes. Stupid, right? It doesn’t make any sense. But at least I’m in good company: Bon … Continue reading
So once again I have to apologize for talking politics here on the food blog, but this is truly a strange time to be a DC-ian. Apparently the whole world may end — or maybe not!? — if this political deadlock doesn’t get resolved by the end of the day today. So that’s one big … Continue reading
With fall here and football and basketball season upon us, I’ve gotten a great idea* for a new smart phone app. I don’t use the calendar app on my phone for every single little thing, but I do make sure to use it for things that I’ve scheduled more than a few days in advance … Continue reading
You know how Us Weekly does that feature about how celebrities are JUST LIKE US? Well…I know it’s stupid…but I kinda like it. Except it also kinda makes me mad. Because I don’t know about you, but when I’m running errands, getting groceries, picking up dry cleaning…I tend to look rough. And these celebrities never do! … Continue reading
Uh-oh! Guess what day it is! GUESS. what. day. it. IS. I’m not alone in being obsessed with this commercial, right? It’s one of those things that — in a rational world — would’ve gone from mildly amusing to incredibly annoying by now, but somehow it just hasn’t. It makes me laugh every time. Apparently … Continue reading
I am not the world’s most loyal crockpot user. I’ve made some good meals in it, sure, but it’s not something I use on a weekly or even monthly basis. The reason is simple — I’m gone from the house for at least 9 hours on the typical workday, so recipes that have 4, 6, … Continue reading
