One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
London is a city that will always be calling to my heart. I have been a few times now and I love it. I feel comfortable there. When I go on my work tours I typically only see the usual tourist sites but this time I found two new places I haven’t been. One spot…
This past weekend camping was exactly what I needed after chaperoning teens around Europe for two weeks. Besides enjoying the fresh air and nature I really really enjoyed my naps; drink a beer then nap, get in a hammock and nap, eat lunch then nap. I also discovered why people love hammocks so much. They really…
This year I decided to go with a classic flag cake for my 4th of July dessert. This is a Barefoot Contessa’s recipe. (I cut the recipe in half and used a pyrex glass pan instead of a sheet pan.) I am going camping so I hope this cake makes the trip! Happy 4th of July!

I’ve started following this blog, Woks of Life, and I love it. I made the Inside Out Hong Kong Buns this past weekend and the recipe was spot on; a little labor intensive but still awesome. I got up early on Saturday to make these and didn’t want to wake my roommate so did most of…
Another one of my college roommates had a bachelorette party! And though I was not able to make it I was able to be there in spirit or in cookie. My friend Melissa is an amazing singer so I knew besides my inappropriate cookies I would go with musical notes for her! I themed them…
We finished our day off with this raspberry and blueberry galette!
