Going to garage sales is my kind of weekend activity this time of year. When rhubarb arrives, you can bet we’re checking out the sales. They are everywhere near our house the last few weekends....
Do you feel neglected? I mean I have been spending more time and effort talking about life on my decor/home improvement/DIY/furniture redecorating extravaganza blog the Wits. The vibe is different ar...
As I was saying in my last post, I had the lefse flatbread with tandoori chicken (as a wrap) which began this informal two-part recipe. Well, I’m back with the tandoori-esque chicken. Esque bec...
I wasn’t familiar with Norwegian lefse until a few years ago when I saw a package in the freezer section of our local coop. As I normally do, I checked the ingredients and saw potatoes as the f...
Have you noticed I’ve turned into an Instagram snob for my photos around here and on my our other blog? I have two accounts. One for private use where I take the blog pics (and not reveal them ...
The transition from the Dell to the iMac is proving aggravating, mostly in the iphoto/photostream category. As in why doesn’t it work in an easy manner and why do I have numerous copies of the ...
My drunkard lush puppy knocked over his glass of wine on my laptop the other night. After some dry time, it came back to life then (not joking), died again as soon as Greg, my husband, left for work ...
Rules of Oven Fry Club 1. We will talk about oven fries. 2. We WILL talk about oven fries. (They are delicious when done right and this is a great way to make them crisp.) 3. If someone says “s...
Since it’s been all hustle and bustle around our place with building my new favorite space in the house-a studio-for our furniture refinishing side biz, photoshoots and general office/project m...
To go with my whole “fresh herbs and spring go together” thing from my last post, cilantro pesto with pistachios and orzo, I thought I’d bring you a recipe I snack on when the warm ...
The weather has been gorgeous, near and in the 70′s, just the way I like it. We worked on our backyard over the weekend, removing many things, and intend to do so again this weekend. Soon we...
I’ve been making some of my past recipes posted on this here blog. Relying on the knowledge of how good and simple they really are to help my busy days. Wanna know what we’ve been up to? ...
Because I love you. Because this is one of those recipes that must be shared. Because it’s March and spring is coming. (Even though our backyard is an ice rink at this moment with the “st...
There’s no shame in begging asking if you’d like to vote for me in the Best Recipe Blog category for the Homies at the Kitchn that’s going on right now. I’m not telling you to...
The kind people at Build A Sign handed me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Free bumper stickers and magnets for the dabbler in exchange for a simple link. That was it and I got these bits of awesome...
With all the events that happened while Greg and I went home to be with my grandpa and family after learning of his stage IV cancer, I have nothing to share. Not much anyway. The past few weeks…I don...
My grandpa passed away Saturday night in his home, after being on this earth for 80 years, surrounded by loved ones. He will be greatly missed. Friend to all and one heck of a guy. 1969 We love you, ...
My sister had her first daughter and our first niece this morning! Nolan, our nephew, is a big brother. I’ll be back with a celebratory recipe another day. Welcome, sweet girl!
If you stay busy enough you don’t recognize the truth of the matter. You are busy enough that horrible things may only seem like a nightmare. Something like a family member finding out they have canc...
It’s cold. Turning colder. After a freakishly mild winter thus far in Minnesota, as it has been in other parts of the United States, the chill has arrived. Our house (we’ve lived here for about a mon...
Just stopping in real quick, on a break from painting the closet, to tell you about or maybe remind you of this recipe. It’s all over the foodie blogosphere. I’m a little late to the sauce party. I h...
Welcome to 2012! I don’t know why but even numbers (and right turns) are more appealing to me. Call me a weirdo. But I could be extra excited about this year because we’re so in love with our first h...
Merry Christmas to me! I’m featured at Refinery 29 (and freaking out). The day we move into our new house and everything blows up in the best way ever. I could cry…and I have. Adore our n...
I contemplated writing a post about my holiday wish list or the perfect gift guide. Then I thought about the financial difficulties in the world and people in need of assistance in one way or another...
My husband and I move into our first house in a little more than a week. What? That’s crazy talk. The scene around the apartment looks like this in multiple areas… While the view outside is like this...
I feel like being lazy today and point you to my post on my other blog-some ideas for the new house, some issues and I could use your opinion about flooring. Yep, that’s right, something not se...
I know I said Thanksgiving wouldn’t be happening, meaning no meal, no plans due to the hustle and bustle of buying our first house, packing and moving in 3 weeks! Well, that’s changed. Greg’s e...
Greg and I move into our first house in a month. One month. I feel like I should be packing but I use most of our belongings almost daily so there’s no use. The ever-prepared person in me is sc...
What are your feelings about meringue? Meringue cookies, pies and cakes topped with the fluffy stuff? Comprised of 3 (sometimes 4) things-sugar, egg whites, and air (sometimes cream of tartar or wate...
So the big news I’ve been withholding for what feels like months but has actually been only weeks is that we are getting a house! We put an offer on a 1952 mid-century place near one of the colleges ...
