I owe you all a major update on my life as of late so here goes. First off, we had a couple of lovely Russian ladies staying with us last week (Andreas’ mom and aunt) who cleaned our house from top to bottom (including letting some of our furniture outside to “breathe”) and filled our [...]
Hi friends. Hope you all had smashing Presidents Days at work, at home, at play, or wherever you ended up this day of presidents. Perhaps I shouldn’t be admitting this publicly but I honestly had to look up the purpose of Presidents Day today (to save you the hassle, it’s Washington’s birthday (which is actually tomorrow)), [...]
Well it sure has been quiet around these parts, eh? And what a false representation that is of my life these days because it has been anything but quiet. I believe the only word one could use to encompass it is batshit, which according to Urban Dictionary is defined as “A level of insanity that [...]
Aside from the dress, aside from the cake, aside from the seeing all your friends and family in one place, aside from the dancing and the flowers and the sparkly things and the queen for a day and the whole, you know, committing to love and honor your soulmate and best friend for the rest of your [...]
When I was in San Francisco in May (jeez, that feels like forever ago), I discovered a delectable little treat called the scuffin. What is a scuffin, you may ask? Well it’s really quite simple. It is a scone, in the shape of a muffin. (Scone + muffin = scuffin, get it?) And at Frog [...]

I did one pass through just for photos, and second one through to actually buy stuff. And by stuff, I mean everything my arms could possibly carry before breaking off [...]
I must confess something: I’m not that special of a cook. Sure, I’m fascinated by food, enjoy meal planning, and collect recipes like baseball cards. And I’m aware that I tend to turn out dinners that are perhaps a shade more involved than your typical American meal. I avoid canned things and processed things. Things [...]
Whoops. Oh, hi blog! Didn’t see you there. Must have lost you in the shuffle of all the doing nothing last week (it was school vacation week here in Massachusetts which meant my first paid vacation as a nanny – sweet). You know, it’s funny. Most of the non-bloggers I know say, “Well, I’d love to [...]
Well, we’re back from a great long weekend of eating and carousing with family new and old. And now it’s out with the giving of the thanks and in with the receiving of the gifts! I don’t know if it’s coincidence or merely convenience, but I’ve been crushing on a bunch of different cookbooks lately. [...]
