The Condo that Threw Up a Wedding

Well, all anyone looking around my condo lately would be able to tell that something special is going down and soon. This is my closet…lots of booze and a Nonprofit Financial Management text book. Think those bottles have something to do with the B+ I ended up with in the class? Our rings! So happy [...]

Weddings on the Brain

Hello! I’m doing a bit of procrastination by putting together this blog post. I have SO much work to do! These next three weeks are seriously going to be batty with work and school, but I’ll get through it. I always do. Thanks for the awesome comments on my last post. The messages that stood [...]

And What A Year It’s Been

The past few months have been all about school school school, to the point that I needed to look back at my blog entries to remember what else went on this year (OK, huge lie. The ring on my finger is a pretty good reminder too). But it turn out, most of 2010 was pretty [...]

Chip Taste-Testing and a Raisin Recipe

“You get some weird things in the mail.” This is what my darling fiancé said when I came home to this: I don’t remember exactly, but I think it was on Jenna’s blog that I found a link where I could request a sample of red lentils. And, since I’m planning on milking the “I’m [...]

Guest Post: Lydia and Barbecued Cake

Subtitle One: Healthy Twists: Left with Leftovers in Florida Subtitle Two: BBQ Angel Food Cake, or Why Hallie Needs to Come Home Leftovers. We’ve all gone through the mind gymnastics of figuring out what to do with last night’s chicken dinner (mmm… chicken salad sandwich?) or this morning’s extra sausage (homemade pizza for dinner, maybe?). [...]

Warning: Cupcake Cuteness Ahead

Well, I’m now officially 26. My mom even said something like, “Jeez…25 is such a nice number. 26 sounds like it’s practically 30.” (Gee, thanks, Mom. I can’t be too mad at her seeing as how she was a pretty important part of me having a birthday, and also…she can’t talk to me about being [...]

Bribing with Baked Goods

Oh man…I am so glad today is (just about) over! It was my “12-hour work day” with early morning media for our new exhibit, so I’m glad it’s done and we got some good coverage. In order to bribe thank the people in other departments for helping out with the press, I decided to do [...]

Windfall

My mom called me awhile ago and told me she has some random food items that she thought I might like (her fiancé ordered a bunch of food online and I guess this came with it). Not going to lie, when she said “organic raw pecan butter” I got really excited, because hello, that stuff [...]

Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Blondies with Side Notes

Hellooo! How is everyone’s week going so far? Mine’s going…ok, I guess. Work is busy which is always nice, and I worked on a freelance project last night that was looming over my head so it was nice to get things done. Side note 1: check out my new blog header! I’ll link to the [...]

Representing San Diego Left and Right

I freely admit that I am a lucky duck to live in San Diego. It’s no fault of my own really; my parents decided that San Diego was just nicer than Brooklyn so they moved here before I was born (not that I’d be upset to live in NYC, because I have a ridiculous obsession [...]
