All Dressed Up

I don’t always like to dress up. I barely ever wore skirts or dresses, but I’m getting a little better about that. As long as they still hide my “Hall knees”. I don’t like to wear a lot of jewelry. I haven’t bought an accessory in years, and for some reason I just keep wearing the same necklaces I’ve always worn. I have a box of rings, but am pretty content with the wedding rings going solo. It’s just how I roll. But sometimes, I like to be a really girly girl. Sometimes I like the frills, the lace, the bows and all that jazz. Sometimes I wear heels when I’m not at work.

Eating good, healthy food is an admirable goal. It’s a really good goal. Sometimes though, it’s just. so. dang. hard. Ya feel me? Exhibit A: three sticks of butter. When does that ever make sense? Well, a lot of times, that’s when. Just ask Joy the Baker, or Bon...

Happenings, Part 2

Another installment of random stuff. This is actually sorta fun. And it gives me a good excuse to post pictures that have nothing to do with food, like the above one at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre on Monday night. Without further adieu ado, here’s this week’s roundup:...

It Ain’t Grilled

If you asked me what the most difficult dietary restriction was, I’d be at an entire loss. My first answer would be gluten-free – I’m not sure how life would go on without a nice, toasted piece of french bread, or a whole-wheat pizza, or even croutons. But given...
