Some of life’s little moments kind of suck. Like moments when you’re greeted by this: The epic Battle of Living Room between Sir Grady and The Honorable Pillow I Think I Accidentally Acquired From A Former Roommate At Some Point occurred between 8:30 and 9:30AM this morning [history will never know]. Although there’s only been […]
Sometimes I make mistakes when labeling a recipe “vegan” or “vegetarian” on the blog. I’ve got some pretty awesome readers [I’m looking at you, Lauren], who happily call me out when I forgot I threw an egg white in or used whey instead of soy. I love being called out, although it’s probably indicative of […]
The hardest part of exam time is the sad puppy eyes searing through your back as you’re bent over some textbook or hornbook for hours a day. “Play with me,” they beg. And, they don’t understand [or care] about “grades” or “jobs.” So I thought Grady needed a friend. In lieu of a second puppy [which […]
Last week I spent some time [over?]indulging, half-assing workouts and wondering where I should take my fitness routine post-Half Marathon. After having to forfeit participation in the May sprint triathlon, I felt pretty lost without a new goal. I’m not quite ready to get back into running 5 times a week, although I’m tossing around […]
In case you forgot [which I’m sure you did, but I won’t hold it against you], I won something in February. I promised I’d let you know how we spent it, so here goes. But first, I have to preemptively address what I’m sure will be on a few of your minds after the post: […]
Who cooked her first meat meal in years and survived? This girl. Polyface Meat Meal #1 was a beef-based “Bolognese” sauce. I call it “Bolognese” because tomato meat sauce is not at all like a traditional bolognese [which is veal, butter, onion, carrot, pancetta, truffles, broth, cream]. Instead, this is what most people think bolognese is […]
I’m pretty sure Shaun and I reaffirmed our Weirdest Couple Ever title this Valentine’s Day when I got him a cookbook and he got me tickets to a farm. Not like a sexy farm,* a farm farm. With poop and tractors. So yesterday for Valentine’s Day, I sat on a wagon, trudged through mud and […]

I went to bed at 9 last night because I had been awake since 4:30AM, you know, doing this: Running that little yellow line, AKA my first half marathon. No big deal. ACTUALLY it was a huge deal for us, and one of the most awesome experiences of my life. Seriously. Shaun and I really […]
