Recipe: Fondue for Two (or more!)

21 September 2011 By 4 Comments

I’m on my third week at my fancy new job, and I admit to loving every minute of it. There’s so much to learn and absorb, and I feel like every day I come into work is new and exciting. While I miss my former coworkers, I’m meeting new people here, and they’re all incredibly friendly and great to work for and with.

Sometimes, coexisting is actually really hard. And can result in some heated debates. Matt and I argued about food yesterday, from our different diets (which  isn't typically a problem but holy crap yesterday) to how to raise healthy kids with healthy diets, and pretty much everything in between.

 I'm celebrating the coldest, windiest Maryland day in a comfy wool sweater, calf-high fuzzy boots... and a jean skirt. Did NOT plan this one, I swear; I did jeans laundry last night and woke up to them still damp in the dryer, so I started them again while also scouring my drawers for another pair of pants. The only pair was my black dress pants, which I hadn't worn in ages.... and they were … [Read more...]

28 May 2010 By Leave a Comment

Not long ago, we had a post here about barbequing. On top of the great discussion brought up as a result, a fierce argument also raged... that between gas grilling and charcoal grilling. Vegetarian or omnivore, we all have a fist in this fight, so weigh in below: Do you prefer gas or charcoal for your summer barbeque?
