Despite being December 30, this is not a New Year’s Resolution post. I decided this fall that I needed a theatre break. Even though I was doing the most delightful show, all I wanted to do cook and clean and exercise and snuggle the corgimutts. ….and if you had told any version of Ann pre-2012…

Not only was it my first year to cook the Thanksgiving turkey, it was my first year with Lots of Leftovers. Time to get creative – and not a sandwich in the mix! […don’t get me wrong. I love a good leftover turkey sandwich with Miracle Whip. But both Miracle Whip and sandwich bread go…

While every holiday is special in its own way, Thanksgiving 2017 was particularly Ann-appropriate. And I cooked the turkey! My employer graciously distributes frozen turkeys to its workers each year, so rather than just bring it for my father-in-law, as done before, I decided to take responsibility. A brine seemed the easiest way to go…

If you saw my post-rehearsal Instagram gif on Friday night, you know I had big plans for doing very little this weekend. Preferably while not wearing pants. The weekend before was spent around lots of people I didn’t know seeing a band I didn’t know (#goodwifeaward) and this week was a rush of Nunsense choreo, so I…

At Flat 493, we do a fairly regular rotation of baked chicken or some sort of fish with roasted veggies and a grain (aka clean the fridge and playing my own personal at-home version of Chopped) and Hampton’s many specialties — including pork tenderloin with a cherry sauce, bone-in pork chops with a white wine/mustard sauce,…

Dr. John, Musician After closing Sunday and immediately having the first two Nunsense rehearsals, it was time to take a break from the past few crazy weeks and…

The past few weeks have been filled with learning Sunday in the Park with George, assorted redding up (there’s that PA lexicon), fun with friends, and non-photogenic food experiments. I think I’m ready for tonight’s first rehearsal… if I can stop sneezing. Hey, there, springtime allergies…. #grrr.

We had an employee appreciation lunch today, and, much to my boss’ surprise, I chose fried fish over grilled chicken. I told him it was fine because tonight was soup and salad night. But he doesn’t know Flat 493 cooking yet…….. (; Your mission, should you choose to accept it: find a way to make…

We love our apartment… even if there are a few things we wish were different. Like the kitchen lighting. It’s not exactly conducive to gorgeous food photography. Especially the less than professional/taken on an iPhone kind. Often, I’ll take a photo from further away and crop it down to avoid the inevitable shadows, or, like last night, I…

So far, this page is sadly lacking in the promised food and dog posts. I thought Easter would provide a good chance to highlight both… but neither subject cooperated for documentation. #reallife. Terrible photos or not, Easter 2017 was definitely pretty much a textbook Day in the Life of Flat 493: food, drink, couch, corgimutts, gorgeous walk,…
