I’m Offically Addicted…

My mom has been recieving Bon Appetit magazine and then either sending them or giving them to me for years now. Also, whenever people see a great recipe in a book or are thinking of getting rid of a cookbook, they ask me first.

I’m known as a lover or recipes and a bit of a cook (though not at all a baker as some friends are a little too quick to point out…though my cake with substitutions did work out in the end, anyway…). The problem then becomes a file folder of recipes I can’t organize, let alone find to make. Plus piles of ripped out magazine pages just get to me.

A few years ago, during a period of unemployment, I decided to make my own Christmas gifts. I had my family and my then-boyfriend's family as well as friends who I felt I should give gifts to.   What followed was a period of frustration and exhaustive work...

A Weekend Getaway

Sean and I are going away overnight on Saturday to visit friends. They have a baby and a dog already so I figured if at all possible, I'd try to leave Sadie behind (I know, look at that face. It's amazing I get to work every morning!) Rather than spend 45 minutes...

A Bookcase of Ones Own

Yesterday, my long awaited bookcase was ready for me to put my books into it. When my boyfriend asked me this summer what I wanted for our anniversary, I told him a bookcase. I've always had built-ins everywhere I've lived but in this house, there was no place to put...

SOS (Shoveling Own Snow)
