I started writing a rather long post to share my kitchen disaster story from last night (let’s just say I managed to make our crock pot explode), but I’ve changed my mind. I would rather share some thoughts of how grateful I am for things like kind, supportive friends, my sweet mom (although at times...
I have just tucked into the fridge some prepped containers for tomorrow night’s dinner—a dinner that I’m anxiously awaiting, because (a) it’s going to be simmering in the slow cooker all day (and I haven’t met a slow cooker meal I didn’t like), and (b) it involves mole (pronounced “mo-lay”), that deliciously earthy, complex Mexican...
In response to this news story—which I personally find even more unbelievable than the instant wonder “balloon boy” that made its way around the media outlets today—I have to scratch my head and wonder what the heck this guy is thinking. My mom and dad came from two very different backgrounds and made me, and...
I knew that RH and I needed to take a relaxing vacation, especially since our last couple of trips that lasted beyond a long weekend were whirlwind jaunts through the innermost workings of Seoul, Korea, and a fast-paced tour of all the wonders that Paris, France, has to offer. When you combine weeks and weeks...
Greetings from the lovely beaches of Florida! RH and I are on a much-needed vacation in Seagrove Beach, and we’re on Day 3 of our trip. There’s a lot to write about, and many photos to share, but for now, I’ll just tell you that it’s absolutely wonderful here. The weather has been great, the...
Just super busy. Super exhausted. Super behind on blogging. But hey…look at how pretty this cupcake is! It’s a carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting, and as pretty as it is, it tasted even better! Hope all is well on the interwebs. Our regularly scheduled programming will resume shortly.
I will come back to this weekend’s festivities, but first, here are some long overdue photos from our wedding day! The ladies and I got ready at my place. After much agonizing, I finally decided to hire a makeup artist and hairstylist to help me get prettified. I seriously thought about saving the money and...
This weekend was incredibly busy, and it included—you guessed it—a birthday, a trip to Ikea, and cupcakes. And the cupcakes weren’t for the birthday. There was a birthday cake for that. But I’ll explain all that in a bit. For now, here’s a cupcake. Enjoy!
I made blackberry sorbet the other night. It was beyond delicious. And now I never want to eat store-bought sorbet again! You can get the recipe here. P.S. – Have I told you lately how much I love my Kitchenaid? Seriously, people…it’s a little slice of kitchen electronics heaven!
This is RH’s best man (who is actually also “RH”) and his wife JH. I recently took some photos for them in Piedmont Park. Aren’t they adorable? I really enjoyed our shoot, even though it was melting hot that day! And I must throw a shout-out to my wonderful assistant (aka my husband), who did...
