April 23, 2013

Chocolate and peanut butter - does a more perfect combination exist?

Summerall: A picture is worth...

April 20, 2013

I was thinking some more about taking pictures of our children especially when they are babies. There is nothing they can do that you don’t think is amazing. When they first arrive, you are overcome with delight at every breath this tiny little person takes. You feel you must chronicle their every minute and every movement. So you do. Little knowing that you are not only taking photos that you and your family can go back through and remember, you are building up blackmail for when they start dating. Oh yeah!!

The bar has been lowered

April 20, 2013

During one of the many semesters I was in college, I fell into a crowd of musicians.
Without any musical talent to speak of, I guess I became an honorary member of all of the garage bands that were being formed out of this group.
They were all members of a nearly defunct musical fraternity that was desperate for membership.

Emily Jones: The best tomatuh in the hood

April 17, 2013

My neighbor (I’ll call her Brenda for the sake of anonymity) is one of the best things that ever happened to me. She moved into my declining neighborhood and everything changed including my ability to grow good ole summer ‘maters despite a lack of ample sun and a thumb that will only turn green if I spray paint it.

The first thing I made with my new mixer

April 16, 2013

I thought for a long time about what the first thing I would mix in my new Kitchenaid mixer would be and this past weekend, I finally got to get mixing.
I’ve wanted a mixer for over a year. How anyone goes to a department store and doesn’t drool over the arrangement of brightly colored mixers, I will never know. And finally, my time came.
