I believe Gallup recently ranked Lynchburg the 37th happiest metropolitan area (loosely interpreted) in the United States. To honor that and party with a good song, the city decided we should create our own video for Pharrell’s Happy. If you haven’t seen the original, you should check it out. It’s good stuff. Ours is, too,…

Biscuit Success
This is one of those weird mornings. It was an early wake-up morning for Scott, which means extra morning time at home for me. Not extra sleep time. If I tried to get extra sleep after waking up once, I would never ever wake up. Ever. I’m talking 2020, still happily asleep, fired years ago…
Forest Presents and Stuff
Scott asked if I wanted a present from the forest the other night, and I nervously said yes. I didn’t really know what a forest present would look like. Nice dirt for my potted plants (that’s our source of “potting soil” these days… works pretty well)? A dead critter exhibit? (Peanut has been tracking down…
Grilled Salmon with Pineapple and Avocado Dressing
I picked out a few too many recipes last week, which is just fine by me. It means I don’t have to go grocery shopping until Tuesday instead of Monday this week. I love procrastinating!

Easter Ham n’ Buns

We are planning to bring the ham, and not just any old ham, this ham: Tyler Florence’s Tangerine-Glazed Easter Ham with Carrots. Mmm. We made…
Shrimp (Kind of) Sushi!
Tuesday was our very first experiment with homemade sushi. Sort of. It was an adventure with new ingredients (new to our house, not to our stomachs), but it probably only counts as 90% sushi. I’m kind of a wuss, which explains the 10% non-sushi. Lucky for us, Giada saw my wussiness coming a mile away…
Turkey Hash Mash
Yesterday was a doozy of a day, trust me. And when you have a doozy of a day, you get to eat comfort food. We went with one of Scott’s all-time favorite foods last night–his mom’s turkey hash. It’s traditionally a Thanksgiving leftovers type of meal, but we had a turkey carcass, and it was…
Small, but valuable.
