Okay, so I’m a bit behind with the trendy cocktails. I’m okay with that. I did, however, have my first Moscow Mule a few weeks ago, and it was worth a post. We recreated it at home last week, and it was double worth a post. Then I saw this great ginger beer art, and…
The Easiest Barbecue Chicken
Some weeks, there’s time to do oodles of side projects and fun random things. Other weeks, there’s barely enough time to live real life with actual food and sleep, and things like blogging and painting fall by the way-side. This is one of the “other” weeks. For such an occasion as this, may I introduce…
Chicken Marsala for a Drizzly Sunday Night
Drumroll, please. It’s time for Tyler Florence’s Chicken Marasala. But before you make your own Chicken Marsala, I have a confession to make about this recipe.

Wall Color: Random Room Edition
We’ve painted almost every room in our house. Almost. At this exact moment, the number of rooms we have painted is 7, and the remaining number is 4.

Don’t Forget the Butter: Christmas Edition
There were lots of highlights about Christmas, but the first in chronological order was an entire day with which to make Christmas Stollen. Yay! (And a borrowed kitchen that was very kindly allowed to become ridiculously messy before it got clean again.) This was last year’s batch, but this year’s looked more or less the…
Small, but valuable.
