It’s the last weekend of the summer. Sigh. It’s supposed to be a weekend of leisure. Of kicking back and chilling one good time before people come back from their European jaunts and their East end vacation homes and restart and the craziness of fall kicks in. I have lots to do. I have lots […]

Just Married (eventually)
Now I don’t feel bad about taking so long to plan my wedding.
Wedding Wednesdays: Italian Inspiration
I’ve been obsessed with this wedding ever since I read about it on TheCoveteur.com. Aside from the beautiful people on the guest list and the bride’s ridiculous wardrobe she wore for all of her bridal festivities, the one thing I love the most is the outdoor ambiance of the ceremony. This stylish couple got married […]
Homemade Goodness: S’mores Ice Cream
I don’t know what the heck was wrong with me yesterday, but it was one of those days where everything was annoying.
Forbidden Sandwich #8—Open-Faced Egg Sandwich with Zucchini, Tomatoes and Avocado Mash
When you are running late for your out of town excursion and you will not be satisfied with a bag of Funyuns or a hot dog from the Gulf station on exit 73 again, you need to make a quick snack before you hit the road.
Honeymoon Wanderlust
I didn’t cook this morning because E and I spent two hours talking about our honeymoon.
New York Real Estate Problems
“I would rather have property in the country than an apartment in New York City because you can’t have a pool or a garden…or a smoker.” —E, during a conversation this morning about smoked brisket and the pros and cons of New York real estate.
Wedding Wednesdays: Out of Reach Destinations
E and I have been doing our research abroad for this wedding.
Sandwich #263–Rosemary Waffle Sandwich with Ricotta, Collard Greens and Caramelized Plums
After E and I made our second batch of homemade ricotta, I finally made brunch.
Homemade Ricotta, or The One Ingredient to Completely Turn Out Your Brunch
Goodness, why didn’t we do make our own damn ricotta earlier?
Throwback Thursday
I’m throwing it back to last weekend to sound off on the worst sandwich I’ve ever paid money for.
Wedding Wednesday: How to Have an Instagram Envy-Worthy Wedding
Aside from worrying about the location, the invite list and the costs, I have something else to worry about for my wedding: how to make sure it looks amazing on Instagram.
Forbidden Sandwich #7–Fried Egg, Tomato Jam and Sauteed Kale on Pita
I like kale. My fiance does not.
Condiment Corner: Yellow Spicy Tomato Jam
It’s the dog days of summer. And the best time to find juicy, big-as-your-head heirloom tomatoes.
For the Love of a Bagel
See this here? I ate that whole thing the other day. And I will not feel guilty about it.
Throwback Thursday
Me, about 4 years old, somewhere near Crater Lake, Oregon. Mom still made my sandwiches for me here. She probably packed a few for the hike we were on that day. I thought about mom packing a sandwich for me as I got my own lunch together for today—veggies and cream cheese on a bagel. […]
Wedding Wednesday: This Close to Eloping
I almost eloped yesterday.
Sandwiches in Memory
Last night, I got to thinking about my dad a lot. I miss him. Then I found this.
Banh Mis Are Like PB&J Around Here
I’ve done five versions of banh mi sandwiches since I started this blog. I guess I really love cilantro or something.
Weekend Projects: Weddings and Ice Cream Bars
I got another new toy the other day: an ice cream maker! Oh the trouble I’ve started.
