I’m a big fan of the sweet and salty flavor combination. Almond butter with jelly? Of course. Chocolate with pretzels? Obviously. Smoothie with meat-cheese-and-cracker platters? Wait…wha? I can guarantee you that they were not all thrown together into that blender. But did I at least have you thinking I was that crazy for a second […]
Dinner
Bretzel the Roof
Thanks to all who contributed to the magazine discussion. There were some well-written and thought-provoking comments on both sides, which were fun to read. I hope to write more topical posts like those in the future. This weekend was as low key as it was fantastic, which is to say it was equal parts of […]
Mi Casa Es Tsukasa
I ventured into new restaurant territory last night. My friend Lauren has been raving about Tsukasa for weeks. A Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant? Doesn’t take much to convince me to try it out (ahem, Benihana). And so, last night, we did. Gorgeous image courtesy of Tsukasa’s Facebook Page The menu looked a lot like what you […]
On My Identity And Traveling Down Abby Road
Happy Friday, friends! Before I get to the goods, I wanted to bring up the subject of an amazing post from Hangry Pants Heather. She is a bride-to-be and has covered a lot of great topics over these past few months of wedding planning, but today’s subject, the name change issue, particularly resonated with me. […]
Chez Bobby
My husband went crazy in the kitchen this weekend! I wish I could take full credit for the meals that follow, but the bulk of the chopping (which, let’s be honest, is often the most tedious part of the whole process) goes to Chez Bobby. It all started last night…with a pizza party! We picked […]
Better Late Than Never: October 16, 2010 {Reception}
Holy bananas this post is overdue. But the good news is that now I get to relive one of the best nights of my life, five months later. Now where did we last leave off…? Oh yes. Paradise. Following the ceremony and the pictures, we made our way to the reception venue at the Cochise-Geronimo […]
Look, Ma!
Two hands! We’ve come a long a way from our tandem bike accident during our honeymoon in November. It may have taken 12 weeks, but Bobby’s doctor finally gave the “OK” yesterday to remove the bright blue cast that had become a comfortable part of our lives. Only joking, of course. Bobby couldn’t WAIT to […]
Traveling Pans, Healthy Hearts
My good “blend” Mara first initiated me into the Sisterhood of Traveling Pans way back in June of last year. Since then, the Sisterhood has met several more times, but with the wedding, honeymoon and holidays, I have regrettably not been there. That all changed on Sunday night in the city. The theme? Heart healthy, […]
