Tonight was like our Friday because I’m going out of town tomorrow to visit my family and attend a bridal shower. Obviously tonight’s dinner need to include the bounty from the CSA, but I also wanted pizza and cocktails! Like I said, it’s like Friday.
Our “first course” was a fresh, flavorful CSA salad [...]

Nearly Done!
I finished final number 2, and I got results from my micro final too! I’m feeling pretty good about ending the semester. Unfortunately, I also had to go to the dentist today. Blah. So this evening before my test, Brent made dinner (Thanks!) while I was napping off my Novocain. Something Mexican would [...]

Cheered Up!
As I mentioned earlier, I got a great surprise yesterday afternoon, which was just the break I needed from my pity party. The very sweet Nicole sent me an awesome Secret Valentine package!

I was very excited to make some wonderful scallop pasta dish last night, but I realized I was out of a lot of ingredients I assumed I had on hand. So, I made due, but it wasn’t very exciting. I used the rest of a can of whole tomatoes with some basil, oregano and garlic [...]

We’re on Vacation
As I’ve said before, I love making cocktails at home. And at other people’s homes as well. While I’ve been on a vacation of sorts myself for the past few weeks, it’s been much nicer last week and this week having Brent to hang out with too. Today we just bummed around town [...]

Friday Night Treat
Like I’ve said earlier, I usually try to make Friday night dinners a little different from the rest of the week. It’s nice because it gives me something to look forward to, and keeps us from ordering pizza or going out to dinner and spending lots of unnecessary money on things I can make at [...]
