Hello, Summer
Oh hai
I know, I know, it’s been too long. But life with a 4 month old doesn’t particularly lend itself to blogging quite often, you know?
I do have a bunch of things to share, but let me show you a little slice of heaven that was had last night:
Mmm hmmm….
A bunch of us went to Anis [...]
Who woulda thunk it?
So, will you finance our gay Japanese restaurant chain? Sure, why not.
Wise decision. Passed by Ru San’s today — packed as usual. The club music usually keeps me away, but I salute unlikely successes.

Rain, rain, go away!
It’s raining today and it will rain tomorrow but I’m not letting that get in the way of summer sandals!I’ve spent the morning (you know, while working) looking at summer sandals and dreaming. A sporty pair for the baseball game, the sexy pair for the c…

This weekend the Princess and I made my super simple veggie soup but I didn’t take a picture. That’s really ok because I didn’t use a recipe either.Well, I didn’t use a real recipe. Why not? I didn’t have to. My soup recipes are the world’s easiest. In…
You Too Can Experience The Benefits Of Juicing!!
I bought the juicer!!! It only took me a year to take the plunge! You’d think that it would have been easier for me to make the purchase. It’s not like it was a high ticket purchase. Heck, I’ve decided to get married in less time than that! No, it was …
Dear Martha That Lives In My Head…

“Happy Birthday!!”
(in the words of Frosty the Snowman).2010 is here — a breath of fresh air, the dawn of a new day, the light that breaks through the horizon at 6am (and I have to roll over to the side of the bed facing the wall). Let’s welcome 2010 as we would a new l…
Feast of the Seven Five Fishes
For Christmas eve this year, we made the traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes dinner. Well, we had at least 5 types of seafood, but there was no way we could have 7 courses of food for just the 2.5 of us! We braved the craziness at YDFM for our seafood goodies today (holy moly, [...]
Melted plastic and rum cookies.
Every day should be a new day with a new lesson learned. I learned a new lesson today. Do not place Rubbermaid container tops on the stove and then turn the oven on. The top will melt. I know, I know, it doesn’t seem logical to me either. Indirect heat…
Cinnamon Syrup!
Guess what I made today?! Yep, cinnamon syrup!Anyone that knows me knows that I have coffee every morning and I love cinnamon flavored syrup. Well, I’ve been purchasing bottles of syrup for years and using it sparingly for fear that I would run out and…
Cravings
Cravings
People keep asking me if I’m having any weird cravings. No, just fruit. All the time, any kind, nonstop. The lunatic roaming all the fruit aisles at YDFM? Me.
