Our very first recipe share comes from none other than the princess of the Thai kitchen, Cathleya. Now, I don’t know about you, but I get fierce Thai cravings every now and then… it’s definitely my grown-up Chinese food. She’s been throwing this recipe around for ages to friends, and now [...]
Happy Halloween everyone — from the puppy who is dreading her monkey costume tonight.
Mr. M’s original costume plan is still in play, despite the lack of blonde flowing locks, and I’ll share a photo once I get one. As for me, well, I’m taking the lazy route this year since [...]
In anticipation of the first recipes heading up tomorrow (OMG you guys are GREAT!!!), I thought I’d share an easy/quick/oh so yummy appetizer I made yesterday. I can honestly say that I’m fully addicted to fig spread (I blame Patina group restaurants for always having it on their cheese plates), so when I [...]
I pretty much adore Noa Bembribre’s calendars every year… and each year I say that I’m going to make my own version… and don’t. But since hers is 32 Euros (+ shipping), I might just have to get cracking on some word fun myself!
Last night, the pumpkin carving extravaganza began before I even got home… as Mr. M had already tried out the pumpkin carving knifes and gotten to work on his coyotes. Then, he quickly whipped out his toothy grinning pumpking and said, “Ok… your turn!” After I finished up with dinner, I settled on trying [...]
Our entry table has lots of orange on it already to match the walls, but I think I’ll make a couple of these tonight to tie around some extra IKEA glasses and drop a small votive in there as well!
Then, at least, it will feel like Halloween inside and out!
I’m sure you may have come across the site Spoonflower before, as it was mentioned on a blog or two while it was an “invitation only” service. Essentially, you send them a pattern/design and they send it back to you as FABRIC!
But as of today, the wonderful service is open to everyone! [...]
The first of the pumpkins to get the knife this week… the white pumpkins! But instead of just carving them like their orange brethren, I opted to use the handy dandy power drill to help me out!
See… just an ordinary “white” pumpkin! This little guy cost me $2.59 at Nugget (much better bargain [...]
Last Tuesday, I received a phone call from Mr. M. “Will you still love me if I made a silly bet?” Hmmm…. a bet, eh? And it all rests on the outcome of your fantasy football team this week? Well…hmmm… Yes. “Yes I will still love you.”
Fast forward a week, and at 10am this [...]
You asked, and you shall receive! Since the recipe sharing was so successful, I thought that making it a regular feature would be a great idea, but I wanted to add a little bit of a twist. So… may I now present to you: the great dinner exchange!
While I’ll still be sharing good recipes [...]
This past Saturday, Nora got married!!!! (And I could talk about the fact that Shaun got married too, but let’s face it, this recap is all about the blushing bride!) And I would be lying if I said she looked anything but “bridal” long before she walked down the aisle. Her family hosted guests at [...]

It’s officially pumpkin time … as of tonight! After work, I’ll be off to purchase our lovely carving specimens and planning out how they’ll be decorated for the big Friday night!
Right now… the whole idea of a drill and simple holes sounds quite intriguing. It’s not as delicate as the [...]
