A Weekend Roast
Despite the fact that I love to eat and I love to cook, sometimes I find myself uninspired when the weekend hits. Because that tends to be when the kitchen magic you see happens, a sort of cook’s block akin to writer’s block, isn’t a…
Sunday Somethings
Hello, Sunday.
I can’t say that I’ve been focused on anything this week but Irma. I know I don’t live anywhere near Florida, but my family and friends still live there, and they all decided to stay put. It’s bringing back memories of Andrew and Katrina, not the good kind, and I’ve just found myself on edge all week. If you’re down there, stay safe. I’m praying for you: before, during and after.
Fall is here and that does bring back good memories and excitement for the season. Still haven’t set that date for apple picking, but I’m on top of it anyway with these apple waffles. More fabulous fall foods to come.
In the meantime….
Need some hurricane 101? Like, what does it all mean? This weatherman is the internet’s new star.
Not just for hurricanes, if you need to charge your phone in a pinch, think like MacGyver.
Tinder dates IRL. This is hilarious, but did it really happen? You decide.
Her ancestors were Georgetown slaves. Now at 63, she’s a freshman. Worth the read.
I’m posting something about Christmas. You can hate me, but once you watch it, you’ll LOVE me! Dan Stevens, Christopher Plummer; The Man Who Invented Christmas.
I’m certainly not immune to Notre Dame’s faults, but I liked this article, and I think that it really speaks to what makes ND special.
Board games can make us nicer because we learn how to resolve controlled conflict and also about rules and fairness. Makes sense. Bust out the Monopoly.
Buy yourself a hugeass, “just for you” mug with a puppy or a snarky saying on it. Yes, and other ways to see the light when you’re stuck in darkness.
I’m too old for this s*it. Yup, I am. #Thisis36.
That’s all I’ve got. Good luck this week- you can do it.

Monday Musings
Hello, Monday. I’m a day late with my weekendly thoughts but that’s pretty much because I got to Saturday night, and said YES to another day of being computer-free. That’s pretty much how life is these days, and it’s admittedly fantastic. I’ve been enjoying the last…
Rendang Burger
We’re almost at the weekend! The LONG weekend and I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for it. I don’t typically take vacation during the summer, so it’s been long stretch since Independence Day and I’m really looking forward to three days of sloth and gluttony. What are your long weekend plans? I hope they involve a grill because this rendang burger is coming for me.
Mango Coconut Salad
Mango Coconut Salad is a refreshing summer salad, with juicy mango, crunch toasted coconut and sharp red onion for fully balanced bite.
Sunday Somethings
Hello, Sunday. The weekend has been GREAT. Lots of time to chill and relax, but still get weekend things done. I’m heading to the lake for the third weekend in a row, adding more fuel to the “should I just BUY a paddle board?” debate…
Mole-Q Chicken Tacos
I’ve been in Ann Arbor about five months or so, and I can’t say that there’s too much about the city of Chicago that I miss. Maybe it’s because I’ve been back almost a handful of times since I’ve moved, with the next one already on the books, but I’m more inclined to think it’s because life is just so easy here. It is. Big city life is easy in albeit more practical ways, but small city life is easy in more mental ways. It’s not stressful to just exist here, and I like that very much.
Toasted Coconut Ice Cream
Delicious homemade toasted coconut ice cream has a coconut milk base and toasted coconut flakes throughout for a nice contrast in texture.
