One of the great things about blogging is that it keeps valuable records for me. For instance, I am able to verify that every single year since at least 2007, I have found March to be a particularly unlovable month. I wish I could say that all has changed. It would be lovely to say that in […]

I think I am done with winter. How about you? (Is it really still only January? Ugh.) P.S. Thanks for the encouragement on my last post. I’m 8 inches into the wrap, and the dress pattern has arrived in the mail, so there’s progress!

Eren’s post on the colors of Coastal Maine struck a chord with me. With every year I fall more and more in love with the colors of the Jersey Shore. The sandy beiges, the blues of the sea and sky… Yummy. But I remember last May, after spending five days in Ocean City, I was […]

I would like to respectfully suggest a small change to the seasons in New Jersey. You see, currently the leaves are gone from the trees by the end of October, the cold moves in, and we don’t see spring until at least Tax Day. That’s six months of blech. Cold blech, most of the time. […]

I gathered most of the ingredients from the Morristown Farmers’ Market this morning, and had intended to make my own salad dressing and croutons, too.

Especially pancakes from a mix. Easy peasy. However, there was a disagreement last night surrounding the mix I had in the cupboard, […]

Midafternoon snack, anyone? This recipe combines the ease of microwave popcorn, with the wholesome ingredients of stovetop popcorn. The kernels pop up fluffy and crunchy, with just a hint of buttery flavor. I love to make this in the evenings, when I’m trying to avoid eating anything too calorie-laden, or in the afternoon, when I […]

Poor Neil. He doesn’t subscribe to the theory that soup can be considered a meal. It never used to be an issue between us, but somewhere in the last year, I went and became a soupie. I’ve been seduced by these steaming bowls of goodness. Where once I was of the mind that the only […]

I was in the mood to chat with you this evening, but I wasn’t sure what to say. I don’t have any interesting photos to share, and I spent my day shipping orders, dealing with taxes, and visiting with Mom. So, unless you want to see a picture of the snack I just made for […]
