A lot has changed since I last updated the blog. Our zip code, for example, moved approximately 3,300 miles west to the Bay Area!
This has been a long-term goal of ours, and it’s hard to believe we’re finally here! I start work this week with a new company (Justin is working from [...]
This weekend, I’ll be cooking for a crowd in the first annual Boston Ice Cream & Hot Sauce Takedown.
J & I are competing in the hot sauce division. We practically burnt off our own faces in the process of creating this recipe. At one point, I wished we had one of those emergency eye [...]
There are plenty of nights when Justin stays up much later than me. We call late night shifts in this apartment “defending the Wall.” White walkers have nothing on our ferocious feline. While I sleep in a room with a door that doesn’t close all the way, Justin defends my [...]
Out of 366 days in a calendar (leap) year, the fourth of July is ranked #361 on the list of common birthdays in the U.S. Isn’t it weird that America’s birthday is actually one of the least common days that people are born in America?
With every passing year, I am [...]
It’s crazy that I haven’t had an urge to blog in almost a month. More crazy is that my readership is more or less unaffected by my lack of posting. How does that work?
Sometime in the next week or two, I’ll post something new. I can promise you it will have nothing to do [...]
I have a few fun things that are keeping me busy, I will be able to share the fine details soon!
For now, a cheesecake.
I made this for Justin’s 26th birthday a couple weekends ago! He requested cheesecake instead of traditional b-day cake this year, which is fine by me because I [...]
Maybe this has been done before a hundred times on the internet already, but it was news to me. And to Martha, apparently.
I saw a pin for a recycled craft T-shirt necklace c/o Martha Stewart and [...]
I’m not even going to look at the calendar to see the last time I posted. I know it’s bad. I don’t have the energy to blog, maybe I should take a break.

In the meantime, please don’t sleep [...]
I am most definitely the last person in Massachusetts to go to Castle Island. This is one of the most popular areas for a day of recreation, light tourism, sun, and family time. But prior to this weekend, it was foreign to me.
I’ve lived in Boston for almost 8 years now, and [...]
Working in an office has its perks.
Not many, but there are a few – for example, internet connectivity, air conditioning, and proximity to office supplies. But the real bonus is working next to an awesome lunch spot. They make Fridays so much sweeter.
I have raved about Viga Italian [...]
