Oh, Bagel, how I love thee. Your delectableness calls to me from across town, and I am drawn, helpless, into the shop. I must have you for my own. Today I desire you light and doughy, covered in an Everything coating, coyly concealing three slices of Taylor Ham, and sharing your brown bag home with […]

I’ve spent all darn day doing food-related things. I even took my Project365 photo while food shopping. I was up late last night coming up with a menu for the week – one that consisted of some new things, some healthy things, and some easy things. Lately I’ve been taking the easy way out as […]

Ah, New Year’s Eve. For as long as I can remember, my preferred way to ring in the new year has been at home, with a movie and an endless stream of finger foods. Pigs in blankets, pizza rolls, chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks, chips & dip, and Granny’s punch. It’s scary how excited I get […]

I just can’t seem to drag myself away from zookeeping, socializing, and a wee bit of tv-watching long enough to get a proper post together. Since I know that there are throngs of you missing your daily dose of polka dots, I will force myself to stay awake long past my bed time and post […]

Some days when the boys are home from school, I get all domestic and get in the mood to take care of laundry, clean up the kitchen, maybe catch up on some business email. This is not one of those days. When it became clear to me that the guys were hunkering down for a […]

This morning I tried a new soap. One minute I was a 36-year-old woman taking a shower and the next I was five or six, in a movie theater with my grandparents watching Pete’s Dragon and eating butterscotch candies from Granny’s pocketbook. That’s some powerful soap. Ahem. Anyway. I’ve decided we spend too much time […]
