Hello, Sunday. How are ya’ll? Well, we’re plugging away in 2023 and I can’t even believe we’re midway through February. As the year plugs on, since I’ve been blogging, I’ve always thought of it as moving from one holiday to the next. We’ve passed Lunar…

Hello, Sunday.

Crawley says hi. I think that’s what he’s saying anyway.

How’s it going?  It’s been a crazy busy few weeks in all the ways – all good stuff- and this weekend was all about my first tennis match back since…August? July? I don’t even know.  This morning Mom and I took a cooking class (more on that later!) and this afternoon I’m having a few friends over for the Super Bowl.

Life is good.

Oh and remember that Valentine’s Day is Tuesday so either treat yourself or treat the one you’re with.  This year’s indulgence, ICYMI, is this chocolate and peanut tart.

Because of aforementioned busy times, my mind has been off the webs (good? Bad? Likely the former) but I did manage to find a few tidbits. Here we go:

Hello Hong Kong? I’m into it.

Why I chose to travel with my parents...I love traveling with Mom! We’ve got loads of trips under our belts and hopefully many more to come. Up next, Disney in a few weeks and then Italy this spring.

I never ate this dish when I lived in NOLA, but definitely would have preferred it to many of the foods that I did eat there? Adding it to my food list.

I love winter hiking (more so than summer hiking) because 1) hate bugs and 2) I hate hot weather and 3) I love winter clothes. If you’re inclined to join my club, here are some great tips and tricks. Now, #optoutside!

If you’re hosting a SB party today and need a Hail Mary dish, everyone loves nachos!

Food is definitely one of my love languages, but please don’t get me Taco Bell.

The Magic of Mess. Well, I knew I had to be on to something…

You know I’m all for plastic surgery. People need to mind their business.

My work day lunches (I work from home) are abysmal. I can get on board with some of these- click for inspo that is not 1) eggs or 2) a protein shake (my two VIPs).

That’s all I’ve got- have a great week!

Hey, February! Hello, Sunday!

Gosh, it seems weird to be back here. I’ve missed you! I didn’t quite realize how much this little corner of the web has become such a big part of my routine. I’ve got some good food and good trips coming up, and I can’t wait to share them all.

Sunday Somethings – 2023

Hello, Sunday. Happy New Year, 2023! I’m not one to dwell on New Years. It’s not a “holiday” or occasion that I’ve ever really liked, nor necessarily put much stock as far as resolutions or grand statements. I always try to ease in the new…

Sunday Somethings- Christmas, 2022

Sunday Somethings- Christmas, 2022

Hello, Sunday.

Keeping it brief because I suspect most of you are taking the long weekend to unplug, regroup, and spending time away from the interwebs.

While not all of you celebrate Christmas, I’m wishing you tidings of joy, happiness, wonder, peace and fun. Universal good vibes.

If you’re still scrambling for something special to make for Christmas brunch, crepes are a go-to easy, peasy choose-your-own-festive-adventure option.

Merry Christmas!!

Hello, Sunday. Whew, it’s been a week. I got home from The House of Mouse without luggage and with some hodgepodge sort of non-COVID virus that took me out most of last week and the early part of this one. It’s been more than a…
