Feta-Stuffed Turkey Meatballs
So we’ve noted in the past my aversion to ground beef. But, the more into cooking I get, the less inclined I seem to be to murmur “ewww,” in the grocery store whilst selecting ground sirloin. Nonetheless, I still prefer ground turkey in some dishes. And while I certainly cannot boast the healthiest of lifestyles, I do tend to eat in a somewhat balanced fashion during the...

Just got xrays
For the first time since the like orthodontist at age thirteen. Youd think by now one would not have to wear a, like, lead vest?
At this point i am hoping my hand is broken because otherwise i am just a complete pussy.

I might have broken my hand...?
Leaving work tonight. Stoked to be leaving before 7PM for the first time in IDK how long.
Well apparently, speed walking + listening to Miike Snow + almost-six-year-old grey wool biker boots with (flat) worn heels + brick sidewalks (eff you Boston) + generally being me = disaster.
I wiped out and went down hard on the, like, thumb pad of my right (! of course) hand. And then burst into tears...

Slow Cooker Monday: Vietnamese Pork Tacos
A while ago, I picked up a special issue from Better Homes and Gardens that was all relatively healthy slow cooker meals. As per usual with food magazines, I realized the other day I had gawked at all the food porn photos and never actually made anything from its pages. I decided to change this, and handed it to Matty. A few minutes after thumbing through it (and mumbling the occasional...

We got Blood Oranges in our organic fruit delivery...
(yes our office gets that because my job rules, if you havent gathered by now)
And holy effing ess - blood oranges are SO TASTY.
One of those unlikely times where I discover i like the actual fruit more than it’s cocktail counterpart. Mind. Blown.

Sunday Snack: Buff Chix Balls
So. We’re all painfully aware that football is over. But for me, that certainly doesn’t mean weekends should be without rich, fun, and tasty treats. And since the introduction of the cast iron dutch oven to my kitchen, I have been hankering to fry something. There is some shorthand that you experience while in the service industry that stays with you forever. You’ll be working...

I am at Lucky's for brunch
It’s Sinatra Sunday here in Southie.
However, I kind of wish every time I walked into Lucky’s it was like last time, and there were 20 Tumblr friends here to drink with?

Taking The Wheel
“Where do you see yourself in five years?”
Ah. The old half-a-decade plan request, ay?
Everyone has had to answer this on some bullshit job interview in their life. And you, inevitably, nervously sputter whatever you had rehearsed whilst pacing your apartment that morning; That you would like to lead a team. That you’d like to capitalize on this fantastic opportunity with...

cleverlikewhoa:
I’m so embarrassed to show you our front door when I get home tonight.
Busted. Kind of janky. Probably the original one from our very old house. Nerdy heart thing hanging on a nail that I bought at a garage sale for $0.25.
All your doors look so pretty.
I think everyone on tumblr is fancypants and I’m just ghettosauce.
Oh well.
Ghettosauce suits me.
My front door is...

Ozzie will not stop chasing ping pong balls.
And then he inevitably kicks it under the coffee table or couch or TV and growls at me until I retrieve it.
Video to follow…should you want to spend 2 minutes watching someone’s Chihuahua chase a beer pong ball around a dirty living room.

Grown Up Cooking - Short Ribs
For some reason, I had always assumed that when I reached the latter half of my twenties, I would own all kinds of grand cookware and cutlery and know how to use it (and I would hold these things in my home which I would also own, but that is neither here nor there in this post). Regardless, one thing I have wanted for who-knows-how-long is a cast iron dutch oven. I came across one over the...

I've been at my job for five years today
Where in the world has the time gone? My FBook status sums things up nicely:
