As I write this I am taking a rest day today. I'm not feeling well. My body basically said, "I've had enough". So I am taking some walks and doing light yoga to recover. Tony, of course, is still working. He is the Energizer bunny. Ever since I stupidly overtrained, I need to listen to [...]
The house is getting there. I got another room mostly painted. Twice a day I go to the house to work towards completing something. The hope is to be close to done by the end of the month. We'll see. Depends on how much I can get done. Since I am so busy I chose [...]
We are coming in on the home stretch. I am painting for the foreseeable future and Tony is getting the shelving and final drywall hung. I'm working everyday. It's hard, but the finish line is in sight. This week's recipe is one that uses up some leftover steel cut oats I have laying around. I [...]
I decided to change things up on the dessert end this week. I will be making more ice cream, but I wanted to do something different. This week I started working some evenings on the house because we are getting close. The countertops are in the kitchen as well as a working sink and dishwasher. [...]
I decided this week to go with a soup. It's not quite sweater weather yet, but Tony loves soups. Frankly, so do I. I wanted to go with something simple because we are still working on the house. We are in the home stretch and everything we finish just makes the house complete. I am [...]
The last ice cream recipe went over really well and I wanted try another one. This week is again something I developed from bits and pieces of other recipes. I also wanted a healthier version of ice cream that lower in carbs, high in healthy fats and lower in calories. I hope you all are [...]
Life loves to send out curveballs. I have never had a phone just up and die on me. The fun times of living without a phone for a few days. Luckily, I know this is #firstworldproblems. I lived a good chunk of my life without a cell phone, or if I had one, it was [...]
This post will be a bit short this week. I'm pretty busy working on the house and with work. I still want to provide content for you all each week. This recipe is my own creation after looking through some ideas for ice cream. I really haven't made much this year, and I wanted to [...]
There is progress being made at the house. Trim is up and I have the unenviable task of making sure the nails are set, filling holes, sanding the wood putty and caulking. It's a bit of a pain. However, I found a tool that made my life easier. Behold the pneumatic palm nailer. If you [...]
I am a sucker for a new type of fruitcake recipe. This week I am making the Japanese Fruitcake recipe from Southern Living. It's kind of weird that I found this recipe in a magazine for Southern US recipes. I looked around for an explanation, Delishably defined it as: "There's nothing Japanese about this cake, [...]
