A cookie sheet!! That joke is courtesy of my little brother. We were trying to tell Christmas jokes on the golf course this morning. It’s also quite fitting, considering what kept me from blogging last night… For the past three years or so, it’s been a tradition for my brother and I to buy a […]
Breakfast
Chugga Chugga
I could not stop chugging water today. At one point I literally had to pull over to a gas station and buy a bottle of water because the thought of waiting until I got home made my mouth feel like paste. Nice, right? I’m not sure what it was – usually it’s quite the opposite […]
Not So Secret Santa!
It’s easy for me to pick out the highlight of my Thursday. It occurred when I picked up the mail this afternoon and found a package – with my name on it! I ripped open the box and suddenly, my Secret Santa was not-so-secret anymore! The amazing and lovely Sarah from Our Kitchen Adventures was […]

That’s the movie my little bro and I just finished watching What ever happened to Sinbad? We’ve been having a “Sib Night” that included a trip to the grocery store to get some baking supplies – expect the results in a future post! – and a delicious dinner from Bad Donkey. I’ve blogged about this […]
There’s No Place Like Home
Winter break has officially arrived here at Eating Bender! I finished my last exam at 2:00 pm yesterday afternoon and headed straight for the airport with my mom. It was a bittersweet ending because on the one hand, I now have three straight weeks of free time and the holidays to look forward to. But […]
