Hello, Sunday. It’s been a gloomy pair of days this way, and I’ve made the most of it by doing all the inside things that tend to get ignored from doing: closets are straightened, laundry is done, den is tidy(er).  I made some bread, which…

Hey, fall. You’re here! It’s been such crappy weather the last few days. Cold and rainy, they’re the kind of days that make me want to sit on the couch and eat a lot of bread.  I did allow myself that one night, but then the next day came and I made myself dance the cobwebs away and eat a more balanced meal.  Enter, this chicken and cauliflower soup.

Hello, Sunday. The weekends are not long enough, and seem to be even shorter as they daylight hours are less and less.  Staying out to play until 8p was a given two months ago, and now it’s certainly closer to bedtime. It’s been a lazy…

Fall

Fall

Last season I did a round-up and I think it worked out rather well, so I’m doing it again because I find that an archive dive is great more often than not and reminds us of oldies but goodies that need to be made again…

Hello, Sunday. Fall has made itself known, at least for the last two days, and I’ve been taking advantage before it jumps back up to summer later this week.  Mom and I checked out one of the local hiking areas and it’s so close and so…

Taking it back to Oktoberfest 2010.  Germany, we wish we were there.

Hello, Sunday.

Why is it so hot??  I can’t think about anything else.  I’m sweating in all the places.

I’m in Chicago this weekend for a hot second, where I’m meeting up with friends, eating, hanging with Little Buddha, eating, seeing Apple Crisp, eating and doing my Chicagogrammers thing with Kettle Corn and of course, eating some more. It’s the way I do Chicago nowadays that I don’t live there anymore. It’s cramming in meals and laughs with friends, while leaving some time to take care of business.

This weekend’s business is Chicago Gourmet. It’s hard being a boss lady.

So, a little rushed today, and only a few internet things that I read, but some other general internet things that I’m digging right now.

Coolest high school ever? Probably.  

The man behind the Ballers. An interesting read on turning your back on what seems easy to do what you really want to do.

As a devoted Bonehead of the late show Bones, here’s a fun read on forensic dentistry (yes, FUN).

Thanks, nurses! 8 inventions created by the medical profession’s unsung heroes.  

What’s in a name? Sometimes, it turns out not much.  Here’s what some popular brand names really mean.

To be a cabbie. Turns out, in London, it’s much, much harder than you’d ever think.

Is anyone else hating everything in their closet now? I want a refresh, in the name of everything from Boden.  Like, everything.  Top of my wish list are: this sweater; these shoes; this dress; this coat; because fall at least, better be around the damn corner.

That’s all I’ve got. Stay cool, both literally and figuratively, people.
