I’m not even going to bother with the niceties regarding how long it’s been. I’m posting now because I made a souffle. Like an honest-to-god-bechamel-and-meringue-powdered-sugar-on-top souffle. And it was delicious. Because I was the one behind the wheel, though, I did have to start over on the meringue, and the best part was that IContinue reading “I made a souffle”

Idea: craft vacations
I hopped on a jet plane to Florida last Friday, came down to visit my amazing grandma. When I decided to come here for a week, it was a multifaceted thought process. I wanted to get away before the ridiculous rush of the holidays starts, and I wanted to get away from…well…everything. I could haveContinue reading “Idea: craft vacations”
Time to get creative
In reading my blog lately, you may have noticed I talk a lot about changes and changing and things going downhill and all that. Without going into details, I’ll just say that, after buying the house, I moved into an apartment. I think that sentence is enough to express the heaviness and sadness and confusionContinue reading “Time to get creative”
Twofer Tuesday 1: Guest Post!
And I’m back, with a vengeance! Not quite that bad. I was gone for the weekend, visiting friends up in Traverse City. Had a great time, but did not get to writing or crafting so much. No worries, though! My mom, who is an actual, professional writer, was telling me about the cobbler she’s beenContinue reading “Twofer Tuesday 1: Guest Post!”
Twofer Tuesday 1: Dinner for two
I had the day off today, and with so much time on my hands, I have to admit I was not as productive as I would have liked. Sure, I could blame Netflix and X-Men or Janet Evanovich (guilty, fast food reading pleasure, anyone?), but the truth is, I was just feeling lazy. Until aboutContinue reading “Twofer Tuesday 1: Dinner for two”
A healthy dinner (?) and healthy distraction
Argh. Right now my mind probably looks something akin to an urban war zone. For TFA folk, it’s Institute season, and it shows all over my Facebook feed. During the last few days of school, I deactivated my account temporarily to avoid the sense of soul-crushing defeat, watching all of these (not much) younger peopleContinue reading “A healthy dinner (?) and healthy distraction”
Throwback Thursday: Paczki Day 2012
Disclaimer: I am not Polish. But my husband is, so there’s that. For those of you unfamiliar with Paczki, they are a delicious tradition of Polish Mardi Gras. Since the season of Lent requires a lot of bland eating, Paczki were a way to use up all of the ingredients that would shortly become (more)Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Paczki Day 2012”
A New Recipe, and I Want to Scream
Life really likes to throw curve balls. No. That’s not right. Life likes to throw knuckle balls and spit balls, then follow up with a fast ball, and finally throw a curve that swings in low and knocks you on your ass. That is what life likes to do. And normally, I am standing atContinue reading “A New Recipe, and I Want to Scream”
Not Quite as Bleu
I joined Spark People recently, and I’ve been nabbing a lot of recipes from there. They’re already put into the nutrition tracker, so it makes counting calories, etc a lot easier. That’s where I found this recipe for “Chicken Cordon Bleu, California Style”. Traditional cordon bleu is chicken, ham, and swiss cheese breaded and sauteedContinue reading “Not Quite as Bleu”
I’ve Mustered a Flatline
Welcome to Seattle winter, ladies and gentlemen. If you’ve ever contemplated the consequences of stepping just a tad over the edge of a cliff, you know what every day in Seattle during the winter is like. It’s a constant battle between your self-preservation instinct and your other self-preservation instinct, which realizes that if you have toContinue reading “I’ve Mustered a Flatline”
