One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
I turned 25 last week. I have officially hit the 25 years old milestone. According to Skype I am now 25 and some. That is what it says in my profile. Thanks Skype for reminding me that I’m old and not just that I’m 25, I am more than 25. Turning 25 feels weird. I…
Happy 2014 everyone!! I hope everyone had a great time celebrating the new year! I flew to South Carolina so celebrate the new year with my old friends from when I lived there. We hit up all my old favorites like Poe’s on Sullivan’s Island and I finally had my first pain killer (now called…
Christmas for me was all about eating. I know that is pretty standard for everyone when it comes to the holidays, but this year I think I really took it up a notch. Let me explain it to you in a more simple way, in a song (a much shortened song). On the first day…
I got back last night from my trip to Paris for work. Everything went well and it was pretty much smooth sailing. The best part; it didn’t feel like work. There is something about Paris in the winter time. The dreary colors and feel just work and you wouldn’t want it to be sunny. You…
(Getting ready to put the rotisserie chicken on the grill) The week of Thanksgiving is here and you are freaking out because you don’t know what to do with you sweet potatoes or you are sick of the traditional green bean casserole. Don’t fret I’ve got your back. I have the perfect different sweet potato…
I have yet to post a recipe that is gluten free. I apologize. I have friends who don’t eat gluten or have celiacs so I have no excuse. Ok, not to dwell, this is a pear soft shelled creme tart. I used almond meal/flour and I didn’t notice a big difference. It looked a little…
I love the week/weekend of Thanksgiving. You get your shopping done, prepare you lists and menu and make sure everything is good to go! That is what this week is for me. I will be in Paris for work this Thanksgiving so I will be having my Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday. And though I am…
My sister and brother-in-law had the hallowest of Halloween parties this past weekend. My sister’s and my mom is a pretty theatrical lady and raised us to dress up for all holidays. Not just green and red for Christmas but pilgrim outfits for the day before Thanksgiving and carrying our lunches in baskets or going…
Sunday we decided it was pumpkin carving time. We got dressed up, pilled in the car and headed to the pumpkin patch. As we drove into the dark clouds we decided maybe this isn’t such a good idea. Then the rain came so the pumpkin patch mission was aborted and we instead headed to Walmart…
(Great way to start your day at the office) I just moved into my new apartment this past weekend. Believe it or not this is my first lease that I have ever signed. The past two years I have not signed any leases and only bought what could fit in my car so I…
