» Read the rest of this entry ...So, I’ve been thinking about cake. Because, of course, I am easily 40% cake at this point (and probably 40% Diet Dr Pepper…damn you McDonalds $1 large sodas!). I want a bacon-carrot cake. Doesn’t that sound YUMMY?
» Read the rest of this entry ...So, Restaurant Week is over. (Spoiler Alert: Gene and I skipped tonight’s reservation in lieu of just ordering pizza…first world problems, yo!) Night One: Dinner @ the restaurant in a hotel a town over. Yummy, delicious, and the smell was incredible (I have more waxing poetic to do about that, BTW…later?). Gene won because his [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...I swear, I totally have a life outside of work. Really. We’re about 80% of the way through restaurant week again and once again we’re eating out every night. Last Friday, dinner was at the restaurant in a hotel the next county over. The hotel was part of a chain that I stayed at once [...]

Yesterday was magic, better than Christmas even, and today is shaping up to be good, too. So anyway, Cheesecake City Restaurant Week started Friday and runs through a week [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...Last night, I got home from work around 6:30 (how does a 10 minute drive TO work end up a 20+ minute drive FROM work?) and helped with a couple last minute things before Gene’s brother and his family arrived. And then I took White Dog and put my feet up on the sofa and [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...Don’t mind me, I’m just excited that something is finished. Plus, I may be high off Stanley Steemer fumes. Appetizers: White Bean Dip with Pine Nuts (w/ pita) – DONE Cream Cheese, Sausage & Rotel Dip (probably w/ tortilla chips) – Thursday Nuts & Bolts (baked Chex mix, family favorite, using Blanche’s recipe) – DONE! [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...Things I have done today: 1) Preheated oven. With an entire plastic wrapped pan of Nuts & Bolts still inside. Sooo glad I didn’t mummify the Nuts & Bolts and just covered loosely. (For the record, they were in the oven to keep them safe while the cleaning lady was here yesterday). 2) Freaked out [...]
