I’m basically trying to burn off approximately 2,000 croissants from our trip to Spain last week. Seriously, you cannot go into a building in Spain and not find a croissant. It’s the best thing ever. Of course, there’s also all manner of other pastries, but I mean…croissants. We had large ones, plain ones, chocolate ones, […]...
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 […]...
I can’t believe that summer is drawing to a close already. This has been one hectic, crazy, wild summer. September is in just over a week. Seriously. It’s like the time of the last hurrah for summer recipes, but also the perfect time for warming, homespun desserts. Like cobbler. This is the perfect end of summer […]...
It’s official…we’re in Europe! We landed right around lunchtime, Belgian time, and are probably in the Netherlands by now. I just realized I have no idea what time zone we now live in…I need to do some research… Well, anyway, no matter what time zone you’re in, today is Harry Potter’s birthday! Can you believe […]...
Have you ever noticed how moms get all the glory on Mother’s Day, with fancy breakfast in bed and whatnot…and dads get……..ties. I don’t even honestly know that many dads who ever wear ties very often. But that’s neither here nor there, because this is about breakfast. For fathers. I decided that this year, Dad […]...
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 […]...
Well, I went to see Star Trek Into Darkness last Thursday. My *professional assessment is…IT. WAS. AWESOME. *Not really professional in any way whatsoever. I have some things to say about it, but first, let me say this: I am a Star Trek fan. I am a fan. I love Star Trek. I don’t just […]...
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 a love/hate relationship with the holiday season, and it has nothing to do with overeating, gift anxiety, commercialization of Christmas, or any of the typical holiday woes. It’s all to do with “limited edition” seasonal flavors. Every, single restaurant, candy company, and treat manufacturer out there decides that the holidays are the time […]...
* Before I say anything, I feel duty bound to tell you: these waffles were in the top three biggest hits list with my entire family. Huge deal here, people. I thought you’d want to know. * When we lived in Vermont, there was some really fun places to ski. The mountains are smaller, but […]...
