Oh, no! I almost missed posting today. I’m making it in just under the wire here.
Tonight, we played Settlers of Catan with some friends. It’s been a recent obsession for Brett and me; I’d played it a few years ago with our friends Katie and Jon but Brett had never played it until a few [...]
Well, Annie, your plea worked. I’m going to try to finish out the month, posting every day. It will be a good exercise for me in posting more regularly, I hope.
Today, since we are victims of a cold at our house (even our houseguest Nate has caught it…I feel awful about that), I’m asking for [...]
I’ll keep this short tonight; like Annie mentioned today, I’m finding NaBloPoMo a little more difficult than I anticipated. I don’t seem to be able to find much to say, although I hope I can find some time to do some more in-depth writing soon.
Anyway, Elanor and I went to the grocery store today. Now, [...]
My friend Emily went to an apple farm a couple of weeks ago and brought me back a whole bunch of apples that I need to use up, so today I decided to make one of my favorite fall/winter treats: Apple Pound Cake.
This is my mom’s recipe, and I have no idea where she got [...]
Our room. Hanging out, a few minutes ago.
Brett: You look cute today, with your cute shirt and frazzly hair.
Me: Frowzy hair? Thanks a lot.
Brett: No, no, Frazzly hair. Like Frazzle Rock?
Me: [rolling eyes] Uh, you mean Fraggle Rock? [laughs uproariously]

Sorry for yesterday’s disjointed post. I heard Elanor wake up on the monitor as I was [...]
Well, it’s that time of year again, and I’m going for it: NaBloPoMo, the blogging event where I join many other bloggers to post every day during the month of November.
Last year was the first year I actually posted every day, and I was pretty proud of myself. We’ll see if I can keep it [...]
I hate to have my last NaBloPoMo post be so lame, but I’ve been doing my work all day and am really tired of sitting at my computer and typing, and Brett is leaving again in the morning, and I really just want to hang out with him for a few minutes before we go [...]
I love Indian food, and a few years ago I found this blog, which has a lot of great Indian recipes made easy, with lots of pictures of the different steps in the process. I’ve made this channa masala many times now, and it’s always a hit. I serve it with basmati rice and some [...]
I remember writing last year’s Thanksgiving post, and feeling a huge sense of awe at how blessed we were at that time. I wrote that our previous year had been pretty bad (and it had) but that I was so thankful for where we were at that moment.
This year, I feel that sentiment even more [...]
Brett is home, my belly is full of an amazing meal (roasted winter veggies with ginger, salad [which included our last heirloom tomato], homemade bread and homemade butter), my baby is happily babbling in the next room in her papa’s lap, we’re spending the evening with good friends, the fire is warm, I got a [...]
