A season filled with such joy is also filled with unending errands, parties and dinners. Tonight I’ll be making a double-header at my office Christmas party (yes, we still call it a Christmas party!) and the Joint Services Military Ball. Sometime this afternoon I’ll be transformed from a black-clad girl to a princess in red. [...]  A Soldier’s Wife and I were exchanging emails a while ago and in doing so, I reminded myself of who I was before I married The Husband. I’m a tomboy at heart, but somehow in the mechanics of my marriage I’ve become a lady. I’ve distanced myself from my guyfriends of years gone by. I’ve never been [...] The Husband and I are often plagued with the question, “So… when are you guys going to have kids?” The question used to really bother me because I felt as if we were too young… and really, it is not anyone else’s business. When The Husband and I married, we agreed that we didn’t necessarily feel the urge [...] My in-laws are coming to visit in a little under 2 weeks. My mother-in-law is a vegetarian who eats fish… and as you know, The Husband and I don’t eat fishies. I’m at a loss as to what to serve for breakfast and lunches. The Husband is a high-protein eater because of his exhaustive schedule. [...]
As a child, Mom would wake The Brother and I at the crack of dawn to go to The Farmer’s Market on occasional Saturday mornings. Of course, it was torture to wake at 5:00 a.m. to get some produce. I mean, seriously, mom… the roosters weren’t even awake yet! (Note: I grew up in The City- we [...] The Puerto Rican bought me an ice cream maker for my birthday three years ago. I was so excited I could hardly stand it. I had visions of making ice cream every weekend, knowing that homemade ice cream is superior to anything purchased. Our first attempt was vanilla. Things didn’t go too well, the “custard” [...]
Yesterday was The Lovely Co-Worker’s birthday. The Lovely Co-Worker has been on a very strict healthy lifestyle eating program since February (and I swear she looked great before, even more stunning now) and hasn’t had a drop… not a single sweet nibble of sugar since she started this healthy lifestyle way of eating. So I had [...]
The Husband and I eat copious amounts of soup; but even I will admit that the thought of chili in the dead of summer is almost repulsive. Unless, of course, it’s Green Chili with Pork and Hominy. The flavors in this chili are so fresh and vibrant, it tastes good all year round. Growing up Mom [...] Yesterday was the beginning of my 27th year on this great earth. The husband spent the day avoiding me making me think he’d forgotten my birthday. I came home to a wonderful surprise though… Decorated Dining Room (The Freezer isn't staying in the dining room) I know I need to vacuum, especially after three cakes [...] I have a mild obsession with peanut butter. I actually have to go months without eating it because I have a tendency to eat all of it.
I try to incorporate peanut butter into deserts because it seems less guilty than standing at the pantry door with a spoon and jar of peanut [...] |
