One would think that, after a week of not posting, my proverbial cup would runneth over. But, no. I’m struggling with something interesting to write.
I haven’t done any cooking or baking since last batch of pumpkin scones. I have a few things in queue to make this week for Thanksgiving, but I can’t get too [...]

It’s only 3:00 and, seriously, Sunday? SERIOUSLY?

I forgot the sugar in the first batch of pumpkin scones I made this morning.
My sister and I made homemade dog treats for Matty and they made my house smell like puke.
And Matty won’t eat them.
Actually, my house smell like peanut butter flavored puke, which will probably make my [...]

I decided to make another batch of pumpkin scones because I didn’t love the last batch. I’m an impatient baker and I seldom take the time to try a few different (new) recipes to find one I can use in a pinch. I was still in the mood for scones and pumpkin is the flavor [...]

Ok, I’m kidding. I was going to write this post from my dog’s perspective, but then you would be able to pinpoint the date when my blog officially jumped the shark. (I LOVE that expression.) I’ve realized that this NaBloPoMo nonsense is not for me. I’d love to have something real to say, but instead, [...]

I haven’t forgotten how to cook! I admit, I have been almost completely preoccupied with my new pup and the joys and puddles challenges of adding a four-legged member to the family, but I managed to make this recipe in no time. I love scones and pumpkin is perfect for this season. I thought the [...]

I’ve developed posting anxiety. Yesterday was a posting FAIL and today I just didn’t get around to posting the half-dozen things I THOUGHT about posting. I had great posts in my head about Veterans’ Day and my grandfather, who was in the 101st Airborne or post about the pumpkin scones I made today. Neither of [...]

I cannot express the level of exhaustion I feel right now. If I tried to type it out, it would be it’s own binary code of z’s and wheezes. I imagine that’s not really interesting, but I did have a pretty interesting and fun day, so here are the highlights, because NaBloPoMo told me to [...]

I was SO excited this morning. We got up early and headed to the North Shore Animal League, getting there 15 minutes before it opened. As a small crowd started to gather, I got nervous. I knew there would only be a few small dogs, if any, and we do not have enough room for [...]

I met my husband for dinner last night at Virgil’s Real BBQ (44th between 6th and B’way). Check out these Trainwreck fries! Once you have them, you can’t ever go there and NOT order them. Fresh cut fries with melted cheddar, Monterrey jack, smoked bacon, scallions pickled jalapenos and buttermilk ranch dressing (not pictured) all [...]

The alternative title to today’s post is “Open Mouth, Insert Hoof.” You ever have one of those days where your mouth keeps moving but your brain is screaming “WHY ARE YOU STILL TALKING?” Yeah, I have a few of those. Enough, in fact, that my dad bought me a plaque that says “Dear God, Fill [...]
