Hello there! Just a quick note that I am still alive, just swamped. I promise to have some yummy pic­tures up this week­end, as well as some food reviews. I am jug­gling full-time work, full-time school and the book– yesh! It’s all good, but I have midterms this week, so I’ve been run­ning a little […]

When I was a kid, I loved canned peas. I know, it sounds really gross, but in my house we never ate any­thing fresh, not even frozen. It always came out of a can. When I was sick, my grand­mother used to make me “pea soup”, which con­sisted of a can of peas, some milk […]

Patri­o­tism is sup­port­ing your coun­try all the time, and your gov­ern­ment when it deserves it.” –Mark Twain

Mr. Samuel Clemens cer­tainly nailed it on the head with that quote. Isn’t this his­toric occa­sion quite the mix­ture of joy and relief? We have some hard times ahead of us, most cer­tainly, but to have some­one like Barack […]

Wow, I am the queen of cheezy post titles. I think that one took me over the edge.

I wanted to take a moment to high­light one of the hol­i­day gifts I received. I think you can appreciate it.

Back to life, back to reality…

After three weeks of quasi-working, it’s hard to get back into the swing of things. First, we had the bad weather which had work can­celed and/or I was work­ing from home. Then we had Christ­mas week and New Year’s week… what’s this? 5 con­sec­u­tive days of work? My brain is strug­gling to catch up.
