Date Night

Earlier this week Brent suggested we make Saturday night “date night” and he was going to cook for us. I was shocked because I didn’t realize date night was in his vocabulary, and I was also surprised Brent was willing to do something so nice, given my complete craziness as of late. Occasionally I catch [...]

Blogging is a Wonderful Tool for Procrastination

Nope. Things haven’t gotten less busy around here. In fact time is flying quicker than ever. I can’t believe I’m hosting Thanksgiving in a month! We’ve eaten pretty well the past week, mostly due to Brent’s help on a few occasions.
Sometime in the midst of last week, I threw together this pasta dish using Trader [...]

Cookies Make Everything Better… except our laptop

I’ve been making some new friends in nursing school, which of course is a good thing, but that inevitably leads to “sharing things” about yourself. And most people, including my own husband and family, think really “loving to cook from scratch and then writing a blog about the stuff you make” is a bit of [...]

Happy Birthday Brent!

Wow! It’s been such a fun, exhausting weekend! We went back to our alma mater for a wedding. It was a long drive both ways and a late night. At midnight last night when it turned August 2nd, we toasted not only the bride and groom, but also my husband Brent who turned 28 today! [...]

Eggplant Parmesan Pizza

We spent a lot of Saturday out of the house running errands at the mall, and a very exciting trip to the dog park! We used to take Lucy to the dog park in Redondo Beach all the time because we didn’t have a back yard, but Larry has never been to one. I was [...]

Strawberry Short Stack

I’m quasi-training for a half marathon coming up in September.  I’m planning on running it but I haven’t started any official training plan yet. I’ve just been building up some mileage and making Brent run with me! On Saturday we do our slightly longer runs, and the one thing usually gets me through [...]

We Picked Strawberries!

The title pretty much sums it up. Brent had today off, so we wanted to find something fun to do outside to enjoy the gorgeous weather. When I got off work at 2, we headed over to Hilger’s Farm & Market for their U-pick strawberries. We both had a really good time and we picked [...]

Unrequested Guest Post

Howdy blogosphere,
Victoria’s not feeling well today, so I took it upon myself to write a guest post for this evening’s dinner.  The fact that she has never logged out of a web service in her life facilitated this.
Victoria also had a paper due this week, so in addition to my normal chores of keeping myself [...]

Valentine’s Day Dinner

Editor’s Note: This post was written in its entirety by Victoria’s husband, Brent, and has been posted in its original format.
So as Victoria mentioned earlier, it’s become something of a tradition for me to make dinner on Valentine’s Day.  This tradition has its roots in necessity, as when we first married, we were fairly broke [...]

Sharing the Cuteness

This is why no one believes him when he claims to hate the dogs.
