Tonight the UPS man came and he had a big box for me and it was a Cuisinart from my brother and sister-in-law for my birthday:
I am going to be 25 next week and it is high time I started processing things. I am so excited; I’ve been reading my manual all night. [...]

I know I have been whining about how we don’t have any food and I also know that both yesterday and today I mentioned going to stores that sell food, so you might be thinking that this doesn’t quite add up.
You would be right. However, because I am incredibly cheap and also because most of [...]

I stopped into a grocery store that I never go to while walking Jack tonight because we are out of basically everything that falls into the “food” category. I was all disoriented and couldn’t find anything I wanted and stood for fifteen minutes reading peanut butter labels trying to find one without weird ingredients and [...]
I made the best oatmeal raisin cookies tonight. And I don’t mind saying so.
But really, here’s the thing. I love to bake. Just ask my mom, I used to make cookies and brownies all the time when I was growing up. You know, back when my metabolism was fast as lightening and I could eat [...]

I just had grilled vegetables for dinner because I hadn’t had any yet today and Chris wasn’t home so I didn’t feel like making anything extravagant. Not that I ever make anything extravagant but you know what I mean.
And one of these:
I think I’m getting somewhere with this camera. I’m embarrassed to say [...]

Tonight’s dinner was accompanied by the sound of our landlord busting a hole through the wall behind our toilet. A hole that will probably be there for, oh, at least five to seven weeks. Possibly longer.
Luckily, Jack has already eaten most of the plaster off the floor and now more than likely has asbestos poisoning. [...]

Jack went to his first restaurant today - here he is with Chris and I at Sushi D:
That’s Chris’s “I am way too hungover to be photographed” face.
Jack managed to make it through the meal without a scene, but he did cause a bit of a stir at the farmer’s market when a lady accused [...]

Last night two of our friends got married. Here we are with my brother, who was the best man:
Chris miraculously managed to get through the night without stomping on his suit, although there was some minor red wine spillage during a twirling incident on the dance floor.
Needless to say, we didn’t get home until about [...]

One of the best Seinfeld episodes ever.
I was all out of new shrimp recipes, set to eat it in pasta, stir fry and risotto for the rest of my life, but then I thought of this mango avocado salsa mixture:
The recipe:
1 avocado
1 mango
1 1/2 limes
1/2 T honey
1/2 jalapeño
1 scallion
A TON of cilantro
salt
Just cut it up, [...]

I got busy with work toward the end of the day, so I figured I’d just post this afternoon and tonight all at once…
For lunch I tried one of those roll-up wraps again. I don’t get why they are better than round ones? Can someone explain this to me? Because I lost half of my [...]
