Summer Staple: Beer Can Chicken
Back when I was still figuring out what the heck to do with this here blogspace, and before I was really “into” cooking, beer can chicken was something that I felt I could cook perfectly and instruct others on. So, for my first ever food post, this was what I focused on. I just re-read that entry, back when I was living in Medford years ago. And though the pictures were taken with a...

While watching TV last night, an ad for Petsmart's...
Me: You can...adopt? Dogs? At Petsmart now?
Matty (disinterested): No.
Me: That's what the commercial said.
Matty: Good thing the closest one is Everett. And you have no reason to go there.
Me: Ozzie is out...
Matty: No.
Me: ...of food?
Matty: No.
Me: And friends?

WatchA comic book romance.
(or, that time we got engaged.)
Finally finished editing and adding Bruno Mars to this so it’s acceptable for public consumption. Don’t hate.

To the huge group of tourists snapping photos, and...
you are not about to board the monorail at Disney World. You are actually in a subway station that has been described by local media as a “hotbed for drugs”, and is home to many disgruntled commuters (me) and even more degenerate townies. It is also a Monday morning. If you could tone it down a notch or ten that’d be appreciated. Or just fall out of your hand stand onto the...

Somebody brought in really good-looking doughnuts.
…Like DOUGHNUTS, not DONUTS. I usually do not really care for breakfast pastries, but this jelly one appears to have, like, real fruit preserves of some persuasion inside it. And is soft and dense and not, like, rock hard and flaking apart (sorry for my obvious disdain for the largest breakfast purveyor in the country, but I worked for Dunkin Donuts for a few years circa 1999. It still...

I don't think I have ever been this excited about...
I suppose that’s what happens after two weeks away from home and limited sleep for days because you were busy laying on the shore of lake Michigan/getting engaged/celebrating your birthday/celebrating getting engaged.
I am an asshole.
But still.
Gimme all the Ozzie cuddles, Weeds (the show. Not like… Hush you.), Master Chef and Breaking Bad PREMIER…! And non-alcoholic...

It Is What It Is
I said these posts would be much more consistent. But then I came here, to Lake Michigan, on vacation.
And then, on July 8th, while wearing a 2nd-birthday party hat and swimming trunks, Matty asked me to marry him. So, stay tuned for many more posts and a recap of what happened, but in the meantime… Some words that vaguely attempt to capture just how I feel about my future husband. It Is...

And now I'm 28.
I’d say this is up there as the best birthday ever. Maybe minus the one where I was actually, you know, born.
Off to explore South Haven, MI with my FIANCE!

VACATION COMMENCE
Heading north (ish? Midwest geography is not my forte) to Lake Michigan with ALL THE BEERS and all the baby presents for tomorrow. In an hour starts one of the best weeks of my year- Matt’s ridiculous fam, baby nieces, lake breezes, bags, drunken shenanigans, sunrise strolls, afternoon naps, beergaritas, bbqs and stolen Fazekas smooches. Let’s do this.

my bff emailed me asking what time i am getting...
….like I may get out early for some reason?
And then I come on here and a bunch of you guys are all getting early dismissals, too.
And I am SO VICIOUSLY hungover from Tenacious D last night.
I just wish a “get the eff outta here at 2” email would come in but I have a distinct feeling it will not.

Monday You Could Fall Apart
…Not a horrible start to the week, actually. It’s been the work day from hell but now I am off to meet my dude and go see Tenacious D outside! I’ll take it.
And by the end of the week, I will be relaxing on the glorious Lake Michigan. Blogging about all the cocktails and food I have deprived you all from for a few weeks now. And probably not answering work emails.
FRIDAY,...
