The happy couple 🙂 My sister’s wedding has officially come and gone. We spent an amazing weekend in Napa visiting vineyards, eating amazing local food and of course celebrating my sister and brother-in-law’s wedding. First things first is that they could not have chosen a better city or venue for their wedding. The…
The day is finally almost here; my sister’s wedding! We are off bright and early tomorrow. I’ll bring back beautiful pictures of Sonoma, wine and the cake! This is what my packing looked like tonight… Follow me on Twitter @Pilots_Daughter
When it comes to the wonderful holiday of St. Patty’s Day we all know the typical corned beef and cabbage, shepards pie and of course green beer. But what I think that I have been missing out on the past years has really been the butter. I’m serious, Irish butter is delicious and very important…
Last night I went to The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook book signing with Deb Perelman. I went straight after work and got there probably 10 minutes after they started handing out tickets. I got number 131. It didn’t really dawn on me what that meant. What 131 means is if Deb took the time to chat…
This past weekend was my sister’s birthday, which brought the birthday count to four for the month of February alone. February is not about Valentine’s day its about birthday’s, or at least those are the cards that Hallmark is making a profit off of from me. One perk of all the birthdays is it give…
Happy Chinese New Year everyone!! Make sure to eat at least one dumpling today to ensure yourself good luck in this new year of the black snake! That’s my motto at least. Check out some of my dumpling posts from the past years. Dumplings in Sydney Australia and a recipe to make dumplings at home ….
This is a story of the butter that just would not soften… On a cool winter evening the butter was purchased from the local grocery store. The butter took a bumpy ride in the back seat of the car in the plastic bag, then was carried inside to the warm house. By his forgetful owner…
Happy New Year!! I hope everyone had an amazing time welcoming 2013 last night. I found a recipe for a German new year’s pretzel that is supposed to bring good luck throughout the year. We used the pretzel loaf for French toast this morning— fingers crossed we ate enough. German New year’s Pretzel from America’s…
Christmas has come and gone and what that means is lots of dishes are left in its path. This year our traditional polish meal of pierogis and mushroom borscht were created in the tiny kitchen of my sisters new house in the Highlands in Denver. It’s a tiny kitchen but we made it work with…
This was my first trip in, I don’t-know-how-long, that I didn’t bring my computer. For almost a solid four days I was computer free. I must say it was pretty amazing. I also bought a ticket, so no standby traveling for me this time, which was also pretty amazing. This Thanksgiving we went to New…
