I started Thanksgiving with pie and ended the day with pie. Started the day early with a race, the inaugural Run 3.14 Pie race. It was a beautiful morning and I was able to wear shorts. The weather has been so mild I am really frighten for what January and February are going to bring….

A Little Knowledge…
…is a dangerous thing! Especially when it involves peanut butter and chocolate. Cookies with peanut butter and chocolate. You know Peanut Butter Blossoms. Learning how easy it is to make those could prove lethal. So easy in fact my daughter taught be how to make them last weekend. I thought she was mistaken when she…
Casual Friday
Back in the day Friday nights meant happy hour with friends. This was before cell phones, text messages, Facebook, emails. We all knew where to go and when to be there. Progress my ass. I loved those simple casual outings. Even if it was just for an hour it marked the end of the week…
Roast a Rainbow
Still facing a fridge of leftovers. Unrelated, my camera is on the fritz. Likely I changed some setting that resulted in crappy pictures. Maybe I need a new camera. Likely I just want a new camera. Back to leftovers. The bottom portion of our fridge is jam backed with CSA vegetables that I need to…
Over Leftovers
Every time I open the fridge there are leftovers staring my down. Despite not cooking much lately the leftovers keep multiplying. It is a mystery. I want to cook but there is so much already to eat I just can’t justify it. The freezer is even worse, full of leftovers and food waiting to be…
Mental Health Day
Wednesday I took a day off to chill and reboot my motivation. Some long overdue downtime. I had the luxury to get in a mid-morning run. Earlier in the week I bought myself an early birthday gift, a running watch . My Nike + has been sucking and is always letting me down. Decided it…
Parent’s Night Out
After a fabulous Friday night meal we were going to take the kids to the zoo to enjoy the beautiful day. Well they had other plans, getting fake mustaches was at the top of their list. No clue where that come from but we entertained the request and decided to walk around our downtown for…
Lasagna Tart
Friday’s kitchen time produced a delicious evening. The spicy goat cheese was just the start. A lasagna tart the finish. Another simple dish that is full of flavor. The recipe comes together quickly and definitely has weeknight potential. Don’t let a homemade crust scare you off. Lemon zest in the crust adds an expected brightness…
Spicy Goat Cheese
Friday night I finally got had the luxury of time in the kitchen. Seems there never is enough time these days. I can hardly believe it is November already, another month gone in the blink of an eye. Scheduling down weekends need to happen so we can just sit back and enjoy. My sister-in-law and…
Daydream Believer
This is as close to a Pina Coloda I am gonna get sitting at my desk. I’ll take it though, it adds the 4D element to my daydream… I guess it doesn’t take much when you sit in a 10×10 cubicle all day. Though a touch of rum after hours would be welcome.
