Did I mention to you guys that the Hubster and I are going to England? In two days? OMGICAN’TEVENWAIT. We leave Friday morning, early, and we’re driving across Belgium into France, to Calais. From Calais, we are taking the ferry across the English Channel to Dover. The Ferry. Across the freaking English Channel. TO DOVER! […]...
Happy Thanksgiving today to all of my American friends around the world! I don’t know about you guys, but we’re taking things pretty easy around here. No turkey this year – just some homemade chicken and dumplings. Well, the dumplings are going to be sweet potato dumplings, because I couldn’t find sweet potatoes for sale […]...
Do you guys ever fell like you just need to unplug for awhile? Sometimes, with the blog and Instagram and Facebook and twitter, I just feel like I’m constantly online, I constantly have my face in an iPad, smartphone, or computer screen. I decided this past week to take some time of from the online […]...
I’ve been up to my elbows in packing paper and cardboard boxes this week, which is excellent for me, but pretty boring for you, I’m sure. I haven’t posted since last Tuesday. I’m not even joking, I’ve been feeling like I lost an arm or something. It’s totally weird for me to go so long […]...
Last night, I dreamed about baking cupcakes. I actually dreamed about baking cupcakes. I mean, I knew I loved baking, and that I’ve been missing it, but even I’m surprised that I actually dreamed about it. I’m relieved, though, because I fully expected hideous, giant spiders to plague my dreams. Because they do after I […]...
I realize it has been over a week since I posted any new recipes, but you guys, my mom was visiting me last week! Before this latest visit, I hadn’t seen her in two years. That’s just stupid. So I was a little busy and distracted last week. It was fantastic. We ate a lot […]...
You know what are not nice? Geese. When I was probably 14 or so, I didn’t know they were so territorial. There was a flock of them…a gaggle? Anyway, a lot of them on the hillside by the pool at the church camp I attended. I was all, “Heh heh. Watch this.” I ran at […]...
I have writer’s block today. I’m pretty sure it’s just a simple case of these pretzels having been so dang tasty that they’ve driven all other thoughts from my brain. So why fight it? Here. Have some cinnamon roll pretzels. Lose your mind for a while. It’s kinda nice....
It’s official. I’ve found myself on the road to being a Crazy Doll Lady. Which is a slightly more creepy, way less stinky, second cousin to a Crazy Cat Lady. What exactly makes a Crazy Doll Lady anyway? I mean, I think it’s pretty safe to assume that a Crazy Cat Lady meets at least […]...
I was going to talk to you guys about something today. I think it was gonna be funny. I don’t even remember. I don’t remember because I’m sitting here, trying to write this, minding my own business, when I see something out of the corner of my eye. About three inches away FROM MY FACE. […]...
