Hello, Sunday. Whoa, what a week! Seems like the news and the internets night after night were full of top stories, and I’m not talking about the highs and lows of Kim K’s butt. Like, the stuff that mattered. The stuff that affects us all.…

Beer Battered Fried Shrimp

Beer Battered Fried Shrimp

It’s Father’s Day time again, and so naturally my dad has been on my mind. More than once in recent memory he’s popped into my subconscious in the wee small hours of the morning and thus stuck with me all day, which gets me thinking of all the memories from years past.  This will be our fifth Father’s Day without him and this time of year, part of me starts to pang a little bit more than normal. For him today, we’re making beer battered fried shrimp.

My whole body expands like the marshmallow man and my hair looks like Hermione Granger of The Sorcerer’s Stone. I hate it- there’s a reason I spent every waking moment in the pool growing up in Florida. I arrived home, covered in sweat and crabbiness, but at least I got some new throw pillows.

Other than that, Grape and I were out dancing the night away for a bachelorette party last night, so I’m looking forward to a Sunday with my feet up reading as the rain drizzles outside. I hope yours is equally cozy and relaxing.

Here’s what I found interesting this week… (more…)

Yerba Mate Ice Cream Float

Yerba Mate Ice Cream Float

I don’t do drinks that often for you here because frankly, I’m not that creative when it comes to crafting them. I’m not a mixologist and really don’t drink much of anything on my own- alcohol or water. I’m the worst at getting those 8…
