Things have been getting seasonal ♫ Up in here. Up in here. ♫ Sorry, DMX has a way of slipping into my mental musings at the most inopportune times. Somewhere between the ramps and the kohlrabi, I took a hard left and made a beeline for the farmers markets. In all honesty, I expect this trend to continue well into the summer…
Currently: May 2015
I will not be a cliché. I will not be a cliché. I will not be a cliché. Can you believe May is nearly over? This month has literally flown by. Dammit, mission compromised. Abort, abort, retreat. ———————————————————————————————- You know what. Scratch the fancy intros and witty banter because they’re clearly not flowing anyway. Instead, let’s dive head first into a Currently post. Current Book: last month…
Recipe: Kohlrabi Fritters
I tend to root for the underdog. That poor sad sack trotting along in last place, the one down a million points in the match, or getting his keister kicked in the ring. That’s the guy I back every time, although to be totally honest, I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because beneath all my sass I have a bit of a bleeding heart,…
Blend 2015 To Limericks
Penning recap posts is hard for me; in a perfectly innocent manner of course, although I know what you were thinking. Dirty birdie. Here’s the thing, I’m not one to gush, unless of course it’s about my farmers markets veggies, and I’ve spent years developing relationships with those guys, and I do mean the produce, although the…
Throwback Thursday: The Blend Edition
We should make Throwback Thursday a thing. “Wait, what’s that? What are you saying? What do you mean it already exists? Pish, posh, I’m not talking about Facebook, Instagram or old school pictures. I’m talking bloggy style.” (I always knew I’d be Superwoman.) Here’s the deal. I’ve been blogging for three years now which means…
WIAW: The Diversity Edition
“Diversity is a big deal for me,” says the privileged white American girl. Despite my pearls of wisdom, I recognize my way is not the only way. This might come as a shock to those who’ve met my ego, yet it’s true. My methodology works wonders for me and probably looks completely different from yours, which makes magic happen for you….
San Diego Shenanigans
We’ve already established I’m a kiss and tell type person, much to my parents chagrin (Sorry guys. Love you.). It’s part of the reason I feel compelled to spill the low down and dirty details of our trip last week, which isn’t surprising considering I like to share: stories, granola, toothbrushes, shenanigans or inappropriate little morsels of information like…
Spinach Ramp Pesto Recipe
The Ramps are coming. The Ramps are coming. I don’t mean that in a naughty way either. Alright maybe I do. So sue me, although not literally because that would suck and silly litigation is bothersome at best. I’ve spoken at length about ramps before here, and in an effort to save you some time, I’m going…
Scenes from the Weekend
I’m feeling short on words today. Not to be confused with my actual height, which is itty bitty, although I do manage to sneak my way onto most amusement park rides. Tippy toes is totally a thing. Besides, what I lack in stature, I make up for with mental prowess, also known as my ginormous ego. Yes in spite of my flaws, I…
Recipe: Roasted Cauliflower Chickpea Avocado Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
Cauliflower is the Superman of the vegetable family. I mean really when you think about it, there’s no comparison. Is it faster than a speeding bullet? Obviously. More powerful than a locomotive? Pffft, no problem. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? Ha, cauliflower’s got that shit in the bag. It is the Queen of versatility,…
