At Dinner
James: I can’t believe you didn’t eat the skin (of the herb roasted chicken). Me: I ate half of it! James: Mmmh *stank face, pressed pursed lips* Me: You better love my chub.

I need a beer so hard, right now
After two days of driving, we’re finally in SF. We only spent half a day driving around looking for parking.

Smell You on My Hands for Days
We all know the three heavy hitters (aka ingredients for delicious) in the world of cooking are: salt, butter and garlic.  Some may lobby for onions or shallots, but garlic will always remain superior in my book.  The only downfall is peeling the papery skin off those little shits. I’ve tried cutting off the ends of the cloves first. I’ve tried running a knife down the middle to...

Birthday Blues
A few household staples, simple stuff for grilled cheese and tomato soup, and my favorite flowers: Sounds lovely? Yeah, until I was reminded that I am growing old.  As if my birthday at the end of the month wasn’t reminder enough. I was not carded for the bottles of wine.  First time in six years!  Ouch. I’m hoping maybe last nights’ make up, I have yet to wash off, made the...
