Hello, Sunday. I got back from my impromptu vacation and hit the ground running on my move with a new sense of urgency. Two weeks to go, less next weekend when I’ll be in Vail celebrating Andouille’s wedding. So really, I’ve got 9 days to…
Last week, I ventured overseas. It was something that, like many of us, I hadn’t done in over two years. But I had reached my breaking point and mentally, I needed it. I craved it. I wanted out of my box, and so in what…
As my quest to clean out my pantry continues, it’s forced me to be a bit creative to try and use up as many of my condiments as I can in one go. These Korean Sloppy Joes used up quite a few and hit one out of the park with flavor!
Hello, Sunday. Hello from Andorra! Yup, I’m here on vacation tucked into a corner of the Pyrenees for some hiking, biking and rafting and I couldn’t be more excited. Sure, I had other things I could be doing (ie packing) and I always miss my…
I really love Newport. We popped on down to Newport from Providence to hit up the International Tennis Hall of Fame for the induction of this and last year’s class and decided to peruse the town the way that tourists do. We went house hunting.…
A recipe! How novel around here, it seems. This recipe for No-Churn Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream has a two-fold purpose. One, it’s a vacation recreation from Bar Harbor, Maine– a trip that seems like ages ago. Two, I’m in crunch mode to use up pantry items, and this helped clear out some shelf space. Win-win!
Hello, Monday. It was a whirlwind of a weekend here! As I mentioned before, I’m moving in about a month. We all know that moving sucks for a variety of reasons. What may not be the best idea in the world is to plan a…
Hello, Sunday. Hello, 40. I’m officially a forty-something. The thing about being an August birthday is that I’m one-person shy of turning an age last (the only one of my close circle of classmates younger hits this milestone in 10 days). That means that, at…
My travels continue!
Don’t worry, I’ll be batch in the kitchen soon for a farewell tour of my pantry. I’m moving in a little over 5 weeks and I won’t be transporting the contents of my fridge and pantry to my temporary digs at Mom’s. It’ll be fun to see what I come up with to use it all up.
But first, back on the road for a pit stop in Salem. It seems like a random stop, when most road trips down would make a Boston stop. But, been there, done that, and we wanted a bit of history and a bit of a break while I took to remote working for a few days in Massachusetts. (more…)
Hello, Monday. I apologize for my tardiness. I spent the weekend out in the sun, roasting and playing tennis (clean sweep of wins, baby!) and was too exhausted to think by the time I got home Saturday night. I passed right out, without eating any…
