This morning I joined the productive member of society club, rising before the sun to shovel my way out of my apartment and de-ice my car. I said hello to all of my neighbors, who were also looking their 6am best, and made my way back inside for a warm shower and bowl of whipped [...]
I often wake up thinking, “I wish I could stay in my pajamas all day and bake.” If I didn’t have a guilt complex, I would probably play hooky JUST to bake all day long. The weekends are the perfect excuse to accomplish these goals. Yesterday I ate good food and drank wine all day [...]
‘Tis the season to…VISIT THE FINGER LAKES! I literally ate food and drank wine all day long. A few months ago I was fortunate enough to win a pair of tickets to the Cayuga Wine Trail’s Holiday Shopping Spree (Thank you again to Finger Lakes Tourism–especially Sarah who helped find my lost ticket ), and [...]
We have snow! My apartment is freezing, and the only thing I want to do today is snuggle in bed. I entertained the thought of oatmeal to warm my soul before work, however; I’m still not in the mood. I opted for waffles and they seemed to work!2 Vans Waffles, 1/2 cup of Greek Yogurt, [...]
So long home cooked meals and lazy days watching football (which I still don’t completely understand). Hello work week. Before leaving the company of my parents, we shared one last meal together. My mom took advantage of a few of our leftovers, and made pork for the sake of a white meat that wasn’t turkey. [...]
I am going to miss being home.Hermann J. Wiemer 2007 Cabernet Franc I love the calm. The slow. The comfort of home. Last night my parents and I went to church and returned home for a cozy supper. It was bitter cold outside, a perfect night for red wine. We sipped on this Cabernet Franc [...]
These are a few of my favorite things:Multigrain Bread, Romaine, Turkey, Bartlett Pear, Apple-Orange Cranberry Sauce, Intense Brie. (side of carrots and an apple) Stinky Cheese and Fresh Grainy Bread. This would be picture-perfect if there was a nice glass of wine and a handful of nuts involved. I swear, if I could eat anything [...]
Twas the day before Thanksgiving, when all through the house. Not a creature was stirring (before 6am) not even a Truffle chasing her toy mouse. Mom, Dad and Nora were early to rise. Ready to tackle the grocery store early, oh how wise. The day started with hot oatmeal consumed on the run. A mug filled [...]
“It must be Monday. What a dumb day.”-Shania Twain I’m not trying to be “Negative Nora” but Monday can be difficult! The weekend fun is over, and it’s back to the grind. Luckily, a crazy Monday can always be remedied with satisfying food and a glass of wine. Or maybe it was two glasses of wine .Chicken [...]
Sometimes I do crazy things. Like buy an 8-pound Butternut Squash or cook an entire head of cabbage for one person. Last night, the veggie section of my refrigerator was about to explode and required immediate attention. I planned to make a pasta toss, however; cabbage in pasta didn’t sound appealing and I have two [...]
