I love having Thanksgiving at my house. When Dave and I bought our current house, it was important to us to find a living room/dining room combination that was all one level and didn’t turn a corner so that we could seat all the guests at one table. I revel in welcoming everyone in with [...]
I seem to be posting a lot of recipes this month. Sadly, I am no Deb Perelman. She is fabulous enough for at least two people and I love her blog and her amazing photographs. I tried to take photographs of my recipe. I took a couple of the process that were unappetizing at best [...]
In his (wonderful) guest post, Dave called me She Who Must Be Obeyed. Hmmm. He definitely listens to me, supports me, cherishes me, and loves me. But obeys me? Not so much. When it comes to House Projects, I become She Who Must Be Ignored. But this weekend, Dave came through. For a long time, [...]
Surely it was made with me in mind! So today I point you to one of my all-time favorite blogs: Smitten Kitchen. Her latest entry is Pie Crust 101 with her new favorite: Vodka Pie Crust. I can’t wait to try it.
I got out of my wonderful three-hour yoga workshop today and found…..a parking ticket on my car. If I thought the universe was trying to tell me something I’d be pretty confused. Or pissed off.

(Well, I did have a bout of plantar’s warts that ended up being close to a textbook case: it was so unusual and the treatment that my podiatrist ended up using was so experimental that he published an article on it.)
Dave Smith wonder-husband here. She who must be obeyed is recovering from the slingshot effects of her latest concoction, the Singapore Sling. But from her debilitated state, lying lifeless on the sofa she was able to utter the words, “I have idea! You post my blog entry for the day.” Every once in awhile I [...]
So, tonight was the second-of-three birthday celebrations for my husband – and this one involved serving 13 people dinner at my house. I wanted to tell you all about the funny story of being totally dissed at a local bar, but that will have to wait. I spent an hour cleaning up from hosting the [...]
I just returned from a lovely dinner and first-of-three birthday celebrations for my husband. I want to share some recipes with you, but I need to take some pictures. I am a horrible photographer – but still, I like to try. I’m soo tired, and I’ve already used my extra entry that I had in [...]
