  • On Brand – 9 Mar 25

    Fun fact: I had this all mainly drafted and already to go… and forgot to finish it on Sunday when I had a costume fitting, yoga, and two blocks of rehearsal. Y’all know I never claimed to be a proper blogger. 🍴: Mon- the world’s fastest caldo verde soup inspired by this month’s Food &…

  • On Brand – 2 Mar 25

    🍴: Mon – because I anticipated having a rehearsal conflict on Saturday for intermediate ballet, I popped into tonight’s beginner 2 class, so Hampton took care of dinner and did a lentil/merguez/feta shenanigans much like we did a few weeks ago and I was so ready to eat after an hour of strength training before…

  • On Brand – 26 Jan 25

    🍴: Mon – Accidental Meatless Monday feat. mushroom tacos with refried beans, queso, corn, avocado, and pickled radish — possibly Hampton’s favorite veg tacos ever. Also, we took the new TJ’s frozen plantains for a spin in the air fryer. Hampton tried them at work and said they were a bit sweet, so we added…

  • Moving on

    So, yeah, this summer… that was a thing. Hampton and I both ended the spring with some killer shows and then it was all, well, life as usual. Snuggly puppies, tv, and lots of other people’s recipes. I may be in the midst of books 99 and 100 of the year, but there have been…

  • The Best Laid Plans…

    The Best Laid Plans…

    For a few months, I have been volunteering on the marketing committee of Piedmont Environmental Alliance, mainly with Instagram – and even this handy blog post. However, I am hardly the world’s best volunteer. In an attempt to assuage my guilt, I signed Hampton and myself up to work a night of the Particle Falls…

    She Was a Good Girl

    Pack 493 is down four paws. It’s been 39 hours since we got the worst news of our lives, and I’m still vacillating between numbing shock and utter devastation. I’ll write more eventually, but, for now, here is my original eulogy to share with her many Facebook fans. — She was a good girl. A…

  • It’s always handy to have that friend who makes The Best Suggestions – whether they intend to or not! Earlier this week, Hannah asked me about a book; I hadn’t read it, but it reminded me I needed to place a hold at the library. I Googled the first title, alphabetically, on my To Be…

  • National Dog Day 2017

    The alarm goes off earlier than on a weekday, but I’ve been awake for bit, paranoid about oversleeping. The light filtering through the blinds is cloudy and dim; Louisa is happily spooned, extra content because Hampton changed the sheets yesterday and the duvet is extra fluffy. But…. it’s time to get up. A topknot and swipe…
