For the Irish in all of us

DateWednesday, March 17, 2010 at 12:25AM

Not once in my adult life, or even from what I can remember, my childhood have I celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. I understand that on St. Patty’s Day, everyone is Irish, I just never got into it. Maybe it’s because I’ve worked the last 7 St. Patty’s days. Maybe it’s because I don’t drink beer, especially cheap beer that has green food coloring in it. Maybe it’s because I never really liked corned beef and cabbage (although now I could eat cabbage all by itself). Maybe it’s because I own nothing green. Nothing. Well…maybe a pair of panties. Hold on…let me check………nope, not even a pair of green panties.

Little Bit of This...Little Bit of THAT

DateThursday, January 7, 2010 at 11:30PM

So I’ve been a little stressed the last few weeks. And when I’m stressed, there are four things that either take my mind off the reasons for stress or help me cope with the stress. Baking, cleaning, writing, and um…well…I’m sure you can guess the last one.

And the Secret Ingredient Is...

DateSaturday, December 5, 2009 at 10:56PM

If you live in the Chicago-land area, you have to be familiar with Portillos. They are most famously known for their Italian Beef sandwiches, dripping in au jus so the bread is nothing but a spongy mess of absolute deliciousness…mmmmm, one of the best hangover cures, hands down (although that burger in Napa was pretty close!). Not to mention their super yummy, grease running down your chin, slippery, cheese burgers. Uh-huh! Awe-some!

Goin' to California

DateFriday, October 16, 2009 at 11:28AM

I don’t think I’ve told you the awesome news yet...I’m going to Napa for five days next week. OMG I’m so excited!!! Not only is this going to be a trip of a lifetime, but I can really use it. My last real vacation was like 5 years ago. This trip came about at the perfect time, see, I’m just a teeny tiny bit stressed at work. Okay, maybe a little bit more than teeny tiny. Maybe a whole lot. Like enough to want to just walk away and forget the place. Not quite enough to give my two weeks, but close...

Feels just like warm apple pie...

DateWednesday, October 14, 2009 at 12:04AM

Remember being terrified to swallow seeds from apples when you were younger? I do! I was always so scared that swallowing an apple seed would lead to apple trees growing in my tummy. I’m sure I have my crazy uncle to thank for that one. The stories he used to tell me!! Monsters in the heating vents, snakes in the toilet, and sharks in the bathtub (I still feel a little vulnerable when I’m relaxing in the bath)!!! Anyway, I’m sure at some point in my formative years, he told me trees would grow in my belly if I ate a seed.
