I blame Julia Childs. Actually, no I blame the French. Why does everything in cooking sound more difficult than it really is? Is it to be fanciful or is it to make you feel as if you could never actually accomplish this feat on your own. …cooked in a wine reduction sauce and served with […]
Continue Reading... 1 Comment.I’ve taken far too long of an absence from being a contributing writer to our blog as opposed to merely proofing and editing the KK show here. We’re changing all that right now. It’s a big day. I have a lengthly list of life updates and topics that somehow never learned how to magically write […]

Basically, you pay a farm directly, and every so often you get a box of whatever fruits and vegetables they grow on their farm delivered to you.

Not only did we spend the whole day eating (but not overeating – which was impressive) but he planned out a really detail heavy experience.

She was in the hospital a few days ago for some serious nausea and pain after her first round of chemo – bad news. She had an MRI a couple of days […]
Continue Reading... 2 Comments.Two months in a row that I’ve remembered. I should totally get an award. Or a sticker on some sort of chart somewhere. (I prefer scratch-n-sniff, just fyi.) Anyway, here’s my day in photos. There are multiple cat photos, I apologize. 10:41 AM – I’m just leaving the house for work (I work until almost […]
