What a fun day we had!  Wish the weather wasn’t quite so cold – very chilly downtown with the wind.  There were even a few snowflakes! Our trip started out by picking up my sister, who lives an hour away from me.  Here’s Hannah driving!  We ended up picking up my sister and parking near the L station to make the trip downtown.  It’s a...

Yep, this food blogger officially ran out of batteries last night!  Right as I was about to take dinner pics too! Our lunch kept us full for the longest time, so we didn’t feel like anything huge.  I ended up making potato soup simple style: One 27 ounce can chicken broth 1/2 cup skim milk 1 tablespoon smart balance 1 tablespoon flour about 20 diced...

So Hannah and I spent about 2 1/2 hours cleaning the basement and organizing my clothes.  Thanks Hanners!  So I thought we would reward ourselves with lunch out with Tony.  They had my favorite beer on special – Sam Adams Summer Ale – they must be trying to get rid of it – my gain!  Two bottles were only $3.50! I got a buffalo chicken...

that should be spent in bed, under covers and watch movies all day!  It’s cold, kinda raining/sleet/snow mixture.  But, I never did clean my desk last week and my clothes are a disaster downstairs.  Hannah is a neat freak and always helps me organize my stuff.  When I askd her if she’d help me with my clothes she said “if you followed my rules we...

Okay, so by now, if I have any regular readers, you know it is homemade pizza party Friday night at my house.  Tony was looking for something to fix for lunch, and realized there was still deep dish pizza from last week, and thought it would be delicious reheated in the toaster oven.  But after first bite. . . NO!  This means he would be...

That’s the sound of me slapping a ruler on my hand for not working out at lunch today, but I have a reason!  My sister’s company, due to the economy, has laid off a bunch of people and my sister might have been next but was saved.  So the emails/phone calls have come to a screeching halt.  I think I’ve talked to her a total...

For some reason, I thought the weather was going to be crappy this morning, so I planned on hitting the fitness center after dropping Hannah off to school.  But one look out the window with blue skies meant one thing – take Ed to the trail. This is our last day at the trails for a week because they had signs everywhere saying from November...

Okay, it was good t.v. last night, I got home a little later than usual, so I am posting my dinner this morning! Two things happen when I cook: I make a mess and the smoke detector goes off!  And last night was no exception! So I wanted to make baked chicken wings, but when I got home, I realized I didn’t have any more...

After Tony poo-pooed my ratatouille soup, I brought it to work and put it in the crockpot for anyone who dared.  I know what you are going to say, put any food out that is FREE in an office setting and people will eat it no matter what! I actually worked at a firm when donuts were brought in on a Thursday, and by the...

later today so I decided to take Ed on a long walk this morning – not sure I’ll be able to do that tomorrow! You can kinda see the clouds rolling in: As I was putting my food together last night for today, I stumbled across the last of our good salami, so I made a tiny midnight (okay ten o’clock) snack for me and...
