Dinner
Otherwise Engaged
This weekend I’ve been…otherwise engaged. When I wasn’t sleeping, I was eating food. Delicious food. From Dutch baby pancakes to pulled pork sandwiches, it’s been another successful weekend of meals here in the Bender household. My mom also recreated the Cucumber-Citrus Skinny Margarita. She did an amazing job! When I wasn’t eating, I was watching […]

A Magical Trip, Part Two: Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios
I’m so glad you enjoyed my recap of Harry Potter world! How cool that many of you have been there or plan to go there soon. It really is amazing when you think about the impact J.K. Rowling has had on so many people in such a variety of ways. Her imagination has created a […]
