In my old age, I find myself coming around on lots of things I used to think were dumb. Three years ago, I was solidly in the anti e-reader camp. I wasn’t one of those people who loved owning books (the exact opposite, actually, after how many times I’ve moved), or even someone who really … Continue reading
Have we discussed celebrity crushes on here before? I love learning who people’s celebrity crushes are. Mainly because there’s never any clear consensus. The Internet sure seems to love that Ryan Gosling guy, but I don’t know of any real-life people who are all googly-eyed over him. [Side note – did you see this article … Continue reading
Oh crockpot, my crockpot… I think I’ve finally figured you out. My crockpot has been a fairly consistent source of frustration in my life, with every chicken-less dish I’ve made in there turning out great and every chicken-full dish turning out dry, dry, dry, dry. But I think I’ve finally gotten the hang of it, … Continue reading
As you can surely tell from having spent even one second looking at this blog, I like to spend my free time drooling over recipes and foodporn. And my favorite kind of recipes to drool over? Not decadent desserts or comforting carbs…it’s appetizers. Small, savory, sometimes-spicy and seldom-low-sodium (ugh I know I hate me too)…I … Continue reading
Longtime readers of this blog may remember that I have not always been great at packing leftovers to take for lunch. Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve really turned that ship around and now take my lunch four or five days per week. I think my hurdle was always portion control, but I finally … Continue reading
Do you consider yourself a procrastinator? I really vary by mood. Sometimes I’ll wake up early on a Saturday morning and just be like clean all the things!!! and I’ll do dishes and laundry and pay bills and return emails and just get eeeeeeeverything done. And then, there are times like today, when the laundry … Continue reading
For my money, Friday night is still the very best part of the week. It was true in 1994 when my parents would pick up Gambino’s pizza and I’d watch TGIF on ABC, and it’s true now, when I typically…make a pizza and watch…whatever’s in my Netflix queue? Sigh. Is that the lamest admission ever? … Continue reading
Where are my fellow four-eyes? I’ve needed glasses/contacts for the last 15 years. My vision is rough, guys. I’m fine with things less than 2 feet away, but trying to read something further away than that (or recognize faces, or watch TV, or god forbid drive…) is a lost cause. And it gets worse and … Continue reading
Gather round, kids, for another installment of Unlikely Success Stories. Actually, wait. I’m hashtagging it. #unlikelysuccessstories Like all #unlikelysuccessstories (TM!), it starts with a careless snafu. In this case, I dropped my iPhone in a super classy way — while reaching for a big block of cheese at Whole Foods. Classy. Even though I’ve dropped … Continue reading
I’ve gotta confess something, friends — I haven’t been spending a ton of time in the kitchen lately. I don’t even have a good reason! I wish I could blame the gorgeous spring weather keeping me outside at night, but it only got nice like four days ago (that’s a whole other series of complaints, … Continue reading
