Y’all know I love tea, and my friend Isabel and I had been talking about trying Tea Upon Chatsworth, a tea room in Point Loma. So when my friend Melissa came to visit from Toronto, we thought it was the perfect time to check it out. The tea room was adorable, and they encourage […]
Biscuits can seem tricky, if you’ve never made them before. You have to cut butter into small pieces, you have to be careful not to put too much liquid into the dough and you don’t want to over-stir or over-knead it. But it really isn’t as hard as it looks. You don’t have to have […]
I have this problem right now where I feel like all my clothes are either really casual or dressy. I don’t really have a lot of in-between. But I wanted to wear something other than jeans or a bathing suit coverup for dinner on Saturday with Toby, so I thought this dress that I picked […]
You may recall that I was in Texas for work for a good chunk of August, and I shared some of the great places I visited during my first weekend in Austin not too long ago. Although I enjoyed all the food and shopping that first weekend, I was not too excited to hang around […]
I know. I was supposed to give you the recipe for the maple-bacon biscuits I made the other day, and I haven’t yet. But I thought those of you who don’t eat bacon might appreciate something vegetarian for a change. Plus, it’s Taco Tuesday! You need a margarita. These are not your typical strawberry margaritas. […]
Football is kind of a big deal around here. Between my need to watch Georgia games and Toby’s desire to watch every other football game ever played… it can get a little excessive. And while I’m on board with lot of football on TV, I wasn’t super excited when I realized that moving to the […]
It has been far, far too long since I’ve posted a recipe here. I’m sorry, and I’m going to make it up to you, starting today. I just hope you like bacon. Unlike the entire Internet, I am actually not head-over-heels for bacon. I know, I’m a weirdo. It’s cool. But, as you might imagine, […]
Packing for a long trip is a challenge. You don’t want your bag to weigh 100 pounds, but if you’re like me, you also don’t want to have to wear the same outfit three times in a week. That’s where the wardrobe workhorses come in: dark jeans, nude heels, leopard flats, a navy blazer. But […]
One nice thing about being in Texas for so long was that I got to visit Austin for the first time. I didn’t get to try, taste and visit everything, but I did manage to eat quite a bit of delicious food and do some fun stuff. My first stop? Round Rock Donuts. You can […]
I’m finally back from Killeen! I stayed so much longer than I had planned that I actually had to go buy new clothes… and then do laundry and get things dry cleaned. It was a bit crazy. But I do have some more weird photos of myself (and one of the gorgeous Central Texas sunrise) […]
