I follow a handful of cooking blogs (okay, a really large handful) and sometimes a recipe post will roll around inside my head gaining momentum until I just HAVE to make it. Other times I read a post and mentally tabulate what’s in my pantry. If I have everything I need, I’ll make it right that …
Don’t worry… “One sec, I’m doin’ a scene,” doesn’t make much sense to me either. Which is too bad, because these are phrases that my two boys spin to Chad and I on the daily. When I call Evan for dinner he says, “One sec!” One sec usually evolves into another few minutes, during which I inevitably …
We had our Valentine’s Day date over the weekend… it was just easier that way. No work to worry about in the morning, no early bedtimes for the little boys, no reservations required at every restaurant on earth… it was just a little more simple than trying to make our great evening escape during the week. …

I have two left feet. It is possible that I also may have two left hands. I give you Exhibit A:raspberry Greek yogurt. I opened a little single-serving carton for breakfast this morning. While I licked the lid (a most important part of eating yogurt) I spun the container around in my hand, trying to mentally tabulate the …
Some people listen to music politely in the car. Reasonable volume, words to songs mouthed or quietly hummed, an occasional tap of fingers on the steering wheel- nothing exciting. Just mild appreciation for the tunes flowing out of the speakers. There are other people that sing a little loudly or nod their heads to the …
