I still have one cup left of red wine. I've done two chocolate recipes, but now I want to see how far red wine will go. I'm taking a risk here. You don't see red wine in ginger or pumpkin recipes. At least for dessert. I have seen pumpkin braised in red wine and ginger [...]
We've moved in for the most part. I would say we are about 80% done. There is some stuff back at our old house, but it's mostly odds and ends. We will probably donate or toss most of it. The need to go back to the house for stuff I forgot is becoming less frequent. [...]
I finally spent my first night in our new house. We don't have everything moved yet, but I am happy with how everything turned out. I've live many years in houses I had to compromise a lot for. Now I don't have to compromise anything. I have everything I want here. I love it. I [...]
Things keep progressing with the house. We have a few rooms now organized and completed. I will be moving my stuff soon. Hopefully by next weekend. It will be nice to finally live there. I like my old house, but the new one is set up much better. This week I am deleting a bottle [...]
We just got internet installed at the new house. We have been in a dead zone for a long time. Being able to do a video chat for the first time was glorious. The WIFI is working, but the hard wired stuff is not. More testing to do, but we are cooking with gas! I [...]
I don't know about you, but when you move, you find extra things you no longer need. In this case, I have three bottles of red wine that have sat in my basement for a long time. I don't drink on a regular basis anymore and when I do, I don't want to open a [...]
OMG! We are finally moving stuff in earnest. I finished the gym floor and did a final cleaning before that. I can't believe it's finally here. The hoarded house has become our home. There are only two of us so it will take us some time to move. However, we are moving. I'm so excited! [...]
Our family and friends are becoming a bit impatient for us to move. Kind of like little kids on a road trip. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? I've already started moving stuff. The big move won't happen until we have all of our projects done. I know I said this last time, [...]
Now that we are into the new year, hopefully if you have been reading this blog for a while, you know that I think New Years resolutions are the wrong thing to do. If not, here are my posts about New Years resolutions and what I think about them. My thoughts on New Years resolutions [...]
The house is almost clean. We are so ready to move in. It just seems like there is one more thing to do. While that is annoying, I'd rather have it done before we start moving furniture. When we do move, it will be slow. We have a lot of stuff, but only the two [...]
