I made this breakfast bake for a brunch I hosted with several of my friends from the publishing world. Four of my friends, their husbands, and kiddos were some of the first guests David and I have hosted in our apartments. We had three small (but mobile!) infants, a two-year-old, and a four-year-old playing with … Read more
To be honest, David and I have become the team to beat at our local bar’s trivia night. A few weeks ago a question came up about the movie “Drop Dead Gorgeous,” a pretty campy movie starring some kinda (but maybe not really) big-name actresses (Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards, Kirstie Alley, Amy Adams…) about a … Read more
Eggs and toast are David and my usual weekend breakfast fare. Every Saturday and Sunday morning we choose between scrambled versus over-easy, toast a couple slices of bread, and put on a pot of coffee. The Recipe Redux challenge for this month is breakfast, so I’ve been experimenting with egg-based dishes on weekend mornings instead. … Read more
We’ve been basking in gorgeous 70-degree weather for the past couple of days in Boston, and I’ve been enjoying everything that comes with it: drinks outside on a sunny patio, the return of Boston’s bike share program, and commuting to school along the Charles river. But the weather’s dipped back down to the mid-40s and … Read more
I took the last two weeks off to allow myself the chance to finish out the semester as strong as possible (though not perfect, it’s still an accomplishment I’m proud of) and to rest and enjoy a trip out to Minnesota with my family. Here’s what else I’ve been up to this week:
I brought this salad to a brunch where my friends and their brand-new babies were gathering on a recent chilly Sunday morning. With donuts, cheesy egg bakes, and mimosas on the menu, it helped to make a small contribution of vegetables. It can be tough for a salad to compete with all that, but people … Read more
There are ways this week has been incredibly hard, and there are ways this week has been pretty good, which I think is where a lot of people are finding themselves as we approach the one-year mark with this pandemic. School vacation week ended (on Tuesday, not Monday, for some reason), which was great, but … Read more
It’s been an eventful week, and this morning I relished in a long morning in bed with the kids, reading and opening Halloween candy wrappers because the goodies from last night are absolutely breakfast from this morning. It wasn’t an intense week work-wise, thank goodness, but I’m realizing the combination of Will’s birthday and getting … Read more
Things are heating up this past week, and we’re looking at a few scorching days ahead. For the past two weeks, I’ve gone out on long walks with a friend from my school program, despite the heat, and it’s felt so good to move my body and sweat a bit. There have been a lot … Read more
Cookbook Reviews Sunday Morning Coffee: February 2, 2020 Here we are in February: it certainly feels like the initially unstructured expanse of January has started to settle in to the routine that the rest of the spring will follow. I’m still making my way through posting the photos from Iceland (many are here). The one … Read more
