It can be a dip, a spread, a filling, and anything else you can imagine. I'm talking, of course, about hummus! If you've never had it before, I highly recommend it; it's fantastic on pita wedges, wraps, raw veggies, sandwiches, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Versatile, healthy, and delicious, hummus is a great snack or appetizer!Best of all, it's incredibly easy to make. With a … [Read more...]
Giolitti Delicatessen – Annapolis, MD
31 January 2011 By
It's been a while since I did a restaurant review, mostly because many of the places we visit tend to be chain and "regular" restaurants. In fact, sometime soon, I'll have to do a review of one of our favorite regular restaurants in the area. For today, though, I'm reviewing a local-to-Annapolis restaurant, Giolitti Delicatessen.There's actually a bit of a story as to how we got to this place … [Read more...]

What to Eat in a Snowstorm, Hurricane, or Other Natural Disaster
27 January 2011 By
Matt and I are without electricity, and probably will be until Saturday evening. We lost it last night around 9pm, banding together with a couple of our neighbors (bonding time!) to discuss the snowstorm that somehow ended up taking out our power. How 6" of snow managed to do that when two back-to-back blizzards with several record-breaking feet of snow and not a single electricity flicker, we'll … [Read more...]
Musical Stairs and Piano Pairs
26 January 2011 By
By now, you guys know that I both am a rather musically-inclined person and that I like to put forth a little more effort in daily activities (what, is this blog not an indication of that?!). So when I see something like this -- that combines the power of music with the added benefit of going the extra, well, step -- I can't help but love it!Stockholm is far from the only place to have such … [Read more...]

Lauderdale or, if they know the area better, Boca Raton (not that I particularly like that I lived so close to that area, but hey, … [Read more...]

It's been a bit over a year since I stepped onto the Wii, but this afternoon, Matt said I should step on and see how I've done over the year (obviously without the Wii's help, haha). So I did, and these are my results: Take special note of the change. Yup, that's 20lbs!
