A Standing Date
On the night they met, my Grandmother told my Grandfather that he was crazy. I’m pretty sure she told him that many more times over the course of their life together, but that night was the first – at least that’s how I remember the story. My Grandparents were practically babies when they met – 14…

Sunday Dinner
I cried over my dinner tonight. It wasn’t that it was horrible. In fact, it was quite good. Roast beef cooked all day in the slow cooker until it fell apart with just a touch of the fork. Fluffy mashed potatoes with real butter and real milk whipped up just so with the electric mixer.…

Friday Favorites – Yes, I Know It Isn’t Friday Edition
I am well aware that it is not Friday. I would like it to be, though. Does that count? But I have this little collection of new favorites in my head and I am simply too impatient to wait until Friday to share them. So here they are. Completely random, completely unrelated to one another…

Happy Birthday, Rotten Cats!
The Rotten Cats are having a birthday celebration this month. I can’t even begin to imagine how it is possible that I care when three Rotten Cats have a birthday. And yet here I am, telling the world that it’s Rotten Cat Birthday Month.

I needed someone more likely to be able to…

This is unprecedented. I haven’t cooked a real meal in my own kitchen (or anyone else’s) in…let’s see…eight days. I don’t think that has ever happened before.

Five Friday Favorites – Comfort Food Edition
How did it get to be Friday? Somehow this week has really sped by me, despite the fact that it has felt eternal. In addition, it’s been mostly cold with some snow and ice this week – real curl up under a blanket and hibernate weather. And so in homage to the icy depths of…

Stay At Home In Your Pajamas Day
The Saturdays in our life are widely varied – sometimes we run errands or go grocery shopping; sometimes we go hiking or on a little day trip somewhere. But our favorite kind of Saturday is a day where we do absolutely nothing in particular. Fab Hub and I are pretty much homebodies. We aren’t huge…

The Light in Our Lives
Sunday was the second Sunday of Advent. It also happened to be the second night of Hanukkah. Ours is a two-faith home; Fab Hub/Dad is Jewish and Zilla and I are Catholic. At first glance, this is quite a disparity. But not as much as you would think.
