Hello, Sunday. What a busy week.  And weekend, with not a spare moment to take a deep breath.  Only shallow ones.  However, I finally am now sitting with my feet up in my bubble of glorious air conditioning.  I survived it all, five high to…

Coconut Lime Curry Chicken

Coconut Lime Curry Chicken

Oof. Yesterday was a day. The kind of day that started out of the gates with a bang and continued as such until I finally sat down at 7:30. The kind where every item checked off the to-do list was replaced by two more. The kind where an afternoon stroll ended in a sprint back home through a thunderstorm. But, the kind also that justified chocolate chip cookies and some Simon & Garfunkel. And some coconut lime curry chicken.

Hello, Sunday. How was your week?  Your holiday? Eat lots of burgers and ice cream? Drink lots of margaritas?   You probably noticed that I took the week off. No cooking for me. And you know what? I can’t even lie about it…it was glorious.…

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.…

Hello, Sunday.

How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was great and the good vibes continue. Lettuce is here for the weekend and yesterday we met up with Meatball, Tomato and Lima for a long day of brunch, sun, shopping, and drinks.

Meatball and Lima just got new jobs, so we made brunch a fancy affair and enjoyed the rooftop Terrace at The Conrad Hotel. In the words of Lima, #swankswank

This is how we brunch.

So…the week. Let’s get into it.

Do you believe in apartment feng shui? I’m skeptical, but Lettuce was HORRIFIED when she discovered that I kept KNIVES in my “love corner” (which, apparently, is in my kitchen). We remedied that immediately with a red ribbon. Finally, the answer to why I’ve been single all these years.

How awesome is Alan Rickman (and Jimmy Fallon, for that matter)? Also, why does helium make your voice higher? Check this out. Science, ya’ll.

On a serious note, thoughts and prayers to all those in Charleston. When will it stop? How will it?

Helen Mirren and sexism in Hollywood. Telling it like the badass she is.

We’re in the midst of another extinction, one of our own doing. Does that surprise anyone?

This is life after 30. All of it. The question I ask myself the most: Can I cash it out and move to a far away island? Would my parents kill me? And yes that third glass of wine will kill you come tomorrow.

Who has seen Jurassic World. Thoughts?

YAY BLACKHAWKS.  And Kris Versteeg won the best picture contest.

That’s all I got. Do you believe in apartment feng shui?  Stay tuned to see if this change significantly improves my love life.  Also, I promise to read more non-buzzfeed articles next week to share.  I just love those stupid quizzes.

Finally, Happy Father’s Day to all out there!  You’re loved by all those you father.

Beer Battered Fried Shrimp

Beer Battered Fried Shrimp

Beer battered fried shrimp with sriracha aioli is a delicious way to cook up my favorite seafood- giving it a light batter that is served up perfectly crispy.
