Bakesale for Haiti!

March 26, 2010

One more shout-out for Sunday’s bakesale! A bunch of DC-based bloggers are hosting a bakesale to benefit Doctors Without Borders’ Haiti relief efforts. We’ll be baking up all sorts of goodies: I’ll be on hand with a pile of chewy toffee blondies, the best bakesale product ever. Others will have cupcakes, whoopie pies, and all [...]

Thanksgiving Menu Planning

November 23, 2009

This year, I’ll be out in Michigan for a turkey-filled T-Day with D’s family. However, longtime readers of this site know that I grew up in a vegetarian household, and as such, am accustomed to a turkey-less (but no less festive) holiday. Before you scrunch your face into a frown and get all judgmental, let [...]

Moroccan Chicken with Olives

September 17, 2009

Today was seriously busy — fortunately for me, D’s stepmom Terri came in a couple days early to help cook, finish up grocery shopping, and see to it that the house was clean. That last bit she takes more seriously than you can imagine; when D and I moved into our apt, in a 100-year [...]

Getaway Sour Cherry Pie

August 15, 2009

The dog days of August are no time to hang out in DC. That’s why D and I spent the first week of the month with her parents in Douglas, MI, a beach town on the eastern side of Lake Michigan, where every day is 75 and sunny and there’s a constant breeze rippling through [...]
