When Matt's out of town, as he is this week, I consider it "me time" in the kitchen. Two reasons for this: First, I can make whatever the eff I want, and on that note, I typically try out a new recipe or two in that week. Second, I can make huge batches of whatever it is, knowing full well that I'll be the one eating it. Which means... I can make tofu galore! This is one, though, that I'm … [Read more...]
A week of updates!
18 July 2011 By 13 Comments
I have been horrible with updating this week, but it's for good reason, I promise. I was out of the house every day from about 7am to 10pm, and had an incredibly busy weekend to boot. It was a fantastic week, though! This whole week was spent volunteering as an orchestra member for a local summer opera workshop. In case you don't know, I'm a violinist, have been since I was 13. I only started … [Read more...]

In a feeble attempt to calm her nerves, she focuses instead on the red numbers from the digital clock that illuminates the kitchen as they walk by. Wow, it is late, she thinks absentmindedly. He follows only a few steps behind her, and she wonders if he can smell the day campers and movie theatre popcorn on her clothes... or if, beyond all that, he can smell her apprehension. She really has … [Read more...]
Coexisting isn’t always easy.
20 May 2011 By Leave a Comment
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. Of course, we started when we got to bed at 10pm, and probably passed out (finally!) around … [Read more...]
Fitness Friday: 8-Min Abs to a rock-hard bod.
1 April 2011 By Leave a Comment
I'm not feelin' so fine lately, so today starts my 30-day 8-Min Abs challenge!I did this once before, a month or so before Matt’s and my wedding. As the days wore on and my patience stretched thin, I started noticing two amazing things: We’re talking a huge change from where I began, and not only in my body. I wanted to eat better, drink more water, and otherwise stay healthy while doing this … [Read more...]

We're getting internet on 11 March at home, thank heavens. While I love this little coffeeshop (Caribou Cafe, in case any of you are local), it's a bit cumbersome to have to drive all the way out here just to get some internet. And delicious coffee, of course, but chiefly the internet, haha.Unfortunately, I don't have anything planned quite yet for Meatless Monday or Theological Thursday coming … [Read more...]

This hot mess was featured on LiveJournal's trashy_eats earlier this week, complete with recipe:Upon reading the description (below), Matt turned to me and said, "I'm serious. That sounds awesome."My freakin' husband, ladies and gentlemen.The turDunkin’ is a turkey brined in Dunkin’ Donuts coolattas, stuffed with munchkins and served with coffee gravy and mashed hash browns. The … [Read more...]
Post-Theological Thursday: New Homes: Under Contract!
9 January 2011 By Leave a Comment
Remember the post about the new moon, and how it was a great time for anyone to put new actions in motion? If you recall, Matt and I put an offer on a townhome not even a quarter-mile from where we currently live, and we got the call back yesterday that they've accepted our offer. We're officially under contract for our own home!While the home is higher than our original budget, it's still a steal … [Read more...]
Samhain in Salem!
16 November 2010 By Leave a Comment
HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS.Matt turned to me late last night after some research on homes and such to say, "I'm going to make you the happiest wife ever." I thought he was talking about a particular house (before this exchange, was checking out some homes in the area as we plan to buy sometime early next year, and he had shown me a pretty cool 1978 townhouse in a city not far from here … [Read more...]
