I find this whole blogging business fascinating. Aside from scoping out a recipe here or there, I’m amazed people stop by my little corner of the world on a monthly, weekly or whenever basis to see what’s going down because the easy answer is usually not a whole lot. While I may be witty, slightly deranged and often times sarcastic,…
Recipe: Tomato Basil Soup
I am an oxymoron. Or maybe I just have split personalities. Whatever the case may be, there are some contradictory things happening in my head, and even I don’t fully understand why. Let me give you an example. I don’t do clutter well. It makes me uncomfortable in a break out in hives and claw off the…
An Ode to Exercise
My Dearest Exercise, It’s been far too long since I last felt your warm embrace, and to be completely vulnerable and honest, I’m missing you hardcore right now. In fact, ♫ I can’t get you outta my head. Boy, your love is all I think about. La, la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. ♫ The same goes for that Kylie…
Mother Nature Strikes Again and I Like It
There has been a lot of hating on Mother Nature lately. My super strong and intuitive ninja skills tells me it has something to do with it being the coldest February on record in Cleveland since 1871. Or maybe it was our local newspaper, The Plain Dealer, where I gleaned that tidbit of information. ‘Eh, I prefer to believe my super powers were responsible….
Parmesan Rosemary Savory Granola Recipe
Variety is the spice of life. Or maybe it’s garlic because I put that shit in everything, or at least most savory things because garlic is the bomb diggity. No diggity. No doubt. Garlic makes everything taste better. It also wards off vampires, combats the common cold and shields you from unwanted advances. Yeah, just blow…
WIAW: The Random Day Edition
Things have been a tad bit interesting in Meghanville this week. Maybe even a bit too dramatic, says the girl who just named a village after herself. The very short version of this tale is the Hubby got in a wowzer of a car accident on his way back to school on Monday. He was the all too…
NEDA: I Had No Idea
I’ve never had an eating disorder, aside from some random fumbling and a few failed experiments in high school, which is par for the course at that age. I’ll also never look at a bottle of Boone’s the same way again. Shudder. (source) This week is National Eating Disorder Week, and the theme is I Had No…
WIAW: The Blogging Inspiration Edition
As a self-professed grocery cart creeper, I find What I Ate Wednesday appealing in a voyeuristic way. It’s rather nice to see what other folks are ingesting on a daily basis, without being called a stalker or brought down to the station to answer questions; not that I would know anything about that. Here’s the…
Recipe: Creamy Potato Broccoli Soup with Pesto
I’ve been slacking on my nutrition lately. I know, I know. The cold hard truth is I’ve had a few too many fistfuls of sugary candy, decadent chocolate and gorgeous carbs, and I don’t mean the whole or multigrain variety either. I’m referring to those delicious white devils. Look, we all know the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and the…
In A Perfect World
We all know perfection is a myth. Unlike the winged unicorn which is more than a figment of my imagination. In fact, I saw one just the other day, out of the corner of my right eye. Fine, I saw something flit across my peripheral vision, and I choose to believe it’s a one horned horse with wings. So sue me for…
