2 years ago today, I was doing this: Since we just got back from vacation, we kept our second anniversary celebration pretty simple. But not too simple, because I’m just not capable of that. While Brian was at class all day, I made The Pioneer Woman’s Pasta with Bacon and Mushrooms. (Ree’s photos are prettier [...]
A Relishments first: My wonderful husband has agreed to write a guest post for me! Apparently, if you cook dinner in our house, you have to write about it after. Thanks Brian! What happens when Em has a lot to do and leaves me, her husband, to cook dinner? Does the house burn down? Do [...]
Hard to believe that I’ve been married for a month already! I’m positive it was the fastest month ever. Things I’ve learned (food related) during my first month of marriage: I don’t have to do it all myself: This week’s menu is probably the one I’m happiest with yet and a large part of that [...]
To address any concern you may have had, I have not fallen off the face of the earth. I got married (though I’m sure in the minds of some people, those events are equivalent)!!! At any rate, the ceremony was last Saturday, the only nice day in Maine since forever and we had a wonderful [...]
First of all, I really didn’t think that was how “nuptials” was spelled. But that’s not the point of this post. In just a few weeks, I’ll be living in Western Massachusetts, finally married to my Man after an 18 month, long distance engagement. It’ll be a big change from living with my parents, but [...]
I knew that a day which began with 50 cent iced coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts would be a good one, but when I left the house Tuesday morning I underestimated just how good the day could be. I managed to go to DD, Whole Foods, Fore Street and Gelato Fiasco on the same day (“Go [...]
My Man, though ridiculously supportive of my recent obsession with flexitarianism, is a little suspect of the trend. Isn’t it more important, he keeps asking in response to rantings about the White House vegetable garden, to make sure that everyone has food to eat before we get so concerned about whether the food we are [...]
You may recall a post from December wherein I discussed my family’s eating habits and mentioned: “We don’t eat beans. Period. Dad thinks we’re nuts for including cannoli and garbanzo beans [in a soup my Man and I made].” Well, after all my whiny posts and my decision to cook what I wanted to eat [...]
Having successfully made my lunch for the next couple days, and with my parents indecisive about what to have for dinner besides “chicken,” I did a little brainstorming which resulted in chicken tetrazzini, a first for me, though I know its a favorite of my Man. The recipe is a variation on one from Betty [...]
