Chocolate Lava cakes? Yes Please.
November 10, 2010Browsing the shopping aisle, Betty Crocker’s new Decadent Supreme cake mix caught my eye. Molten Lava. Yum… I waited a while to make it, and today just seemed right (probably because I have the day ...
Birthday Month is off to a HUGE beginning!
May 3, 2010As some people may already be aware, and others just learning of this wonderful thing, Matt and I began celebrating birthday months quite a few years ago. After all, we reasoned, how could one little ...
Ripped off by Waffle Makers!
April 3, 2010I have nothing more to say about this other than, “What is the deal with this waffle?” Okay, maybe I have a little more to say… I opened my whole grain Eggo waffles to find ...
Bloomin’ Onion
March 31, 2010It’s always fascinating how some vegetables just start growing without permission (permission being light, water, etc.). Apparently we hadn’t touched our onions in the cabinet in a while. I hope the potatoes don’t get any ...
Coffee Head
January 23, 2010It is January 23rd, and so it has been 23 days since I last drank a caffeinated beverage. The last caffeinated drink I had was while celebrating New Year’s Eve with friends -and drinking a ...
Matt Shares…
October 12, 2009Okay, to preface this, it’s just nice that he even offered. That part must be said. Matt kindly offered to share his scone with me (at Panera). I was really excited, but had to laugh ...
What gives, CP?
August 31, 2009I find it strange that though I can not say Circus Peanuts have changed at all since I was a kid (and I LOVED them!), but now they seem completely disgusting to me. They smell ...
Sneaky Caffeine
August 14, 2009Sleep ten minutes, shift uncomfortably, roll over, go back to sleep. Sleep ten minutes, move hair off of damp sweaty neck, roll over, go back to sleep. When will I learn my lesson? It is ...
Mmm… Peanuts… (Nicaragua Style)
June 25, 2009Okay, on our Nicaragua trip we were introduced to these “caramelized Peanuts” by some of the Master’s Commission people we were working with (little shout out here to John, George, and Suzy). I bought a ...
Peanut Buster!
June 11, 2009Of the three kids I nanny for, you may not be surprised to hear that it is Barrett (AKA Buster Brown) who today smeared peanut butter all over his head -hair included. It was snack ...
Caf or Decaf?
March 20, 2009Okay, so a few weeks ago- the Monday following Daylight Savings to be exact- I had a long day of classes. Prior to my biology class (which doesn’t end until some time after 8 PM) ...
Taste of Italy
January 8, 2009In the fall, for a pastoral staff ‘hang night,’ we all met at Punch Pizza on Grand Ave. It has, sadly, been years since I was last in Italy but the pizza at Punch brought ...
Some Traditions
December 26, 2008There are some traditions that are logical, some nostalgic, and some that are nonsense. One of our nonsense traditions, when we’re able, is to see a movie and eat Chinese food on Christmas day. I’m ...
Cheese Cake
October 24, 2008Last night I was thinking I hadn’t written a post on the website in a while (school and life have been a little too busy for that -or at least for me to think about ...
Comfort Food
July 2, 2008You don’t hear much about guys having a comfort food. Mostly it seems to be the girls who can escape in the taste of chocolate or ice cream or something. As I type this, I’m ...
Who do they think they are?
June 21, 2008After the 35W bridge collapsed, Matt and I spent a day walking around the area trying to see it (since we crossed it every day, and live about a mile away). However, the perimeter set ...
Mexican Coke
June 21, 2008This is Coca-Cola imported from Mexico. It costs $1.49 a liter and you can find it in select local grocery and convenience stores in the Minneapolis area. I imagine you could find it most anywhere ...
Snacktime
March 19, 2008My favorite snack has become Ritz crackers and raw baby-carrots. First you have to eat a Ritz Cracker, and then pop a couple carrots in your mouth. For some reason, it’s a sweet combination of ...
