I think I’m just going to turn this whole week into “garden week” — why not, since it seems to be the underlying theme to my activities around the house. Everyone else seems to be in the same spring mood as I am, as the nurseries are packed with customers and the hardware stores [...]
I mentioned that it was insanely hot today, and along with the rest of California, I’m sweating up a storm and melting in the heat. Today was one of those “eat little, drink lots” days, and I had a crazy craving for hummus. I can only imagine what a humid Greek summer feels like, [...]
Did you know how hard it was for me to find a simple strawberry pot this weekend??? No one seems to carry these practical terracotta pots en masse, but thank goodness an old local hardware store had some sitting outside so I could stop buy and pick one up. Finding strawberry plants was just [...]
On Friday, my Dad hopped up from the cooler coast and headed to our hot little house (then again, what part of CA wasn’t burning up this weekend? or today?) to help with lots of crazy projects we had on the “to-do” list. And with his generous help (and extra set of hands and muscle) [...]

Dozen Flours: Triple-decker Chocolate, Coffee, and Toffee Cheesecake must put this on the "to do" list
Sometimes I wish everyday had something this silly in it:
p.s. this is a much more joyful Antwerp than the soggy/dreary one I visited…
If you actually liked the taste of VitaminWater…. stay the heck away from VitaminWater10! I mean it! Stay far far away from it! Don’t think that it’ll taste the same but with less flavor… because it doesn’t! Instead, they replaced flavor with some gosh awful sweetner and made it taste hideous!
I spent 30 [...]
Do you happen to be a magazine lover like me? I’ve always been the girl who skips away from her mailbox when the latest issues arrive in my mailbox… and while most of my subscriptions were free or ridiculously cheap, when [...]
Mr. M is a HUGE soba noodle fan (buckwheat, green tea, any ‘ol sort!)… so when I saw this recipe I knew it was something that would kick up an old practiced recipe into something new. You see, we usually eat this same meal of soba noodles & chicken with a simple dash of [...]
