I had a nice busy weekend. Friday: I went to Milford after work to have dinner with Cara. It was a great visit and she made a “vintage” meal. Shrimp Alfredo is our signature dish. She made it for me when I visited her at her apartment (before I moved upstairs) and it introduced … More Weekend Update
I had another busy weekend and did many things; however, it I’m honest I could have accomplished more. Friday: Movie night turned into chat night. I ordered the deep dish pizza I’d been craving and took a nap before Melissa came over. We drank wine and talked weddings, jobs, housing, life in general. I confided … More Weekend Update
I previously mentioned the literary project I’ve started and now for the details. On our East Coast adventure, Uncle Richard took us to see Monkey: Journey to the West at the Lincoln Center. It was an incredible, eye-opening experience and unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I left feeling culturally richer but also really American. I … More International Literary Project
After a busy/productive/stressful August, I’m looking forward to relaxing in the Fall. Autumn has always been my favorite season. I imagine it’s instinctive since my birthday is in November but I love the crisp nights and warm sweaters. Hot cider and hearty meals.

It was another action packed weekend. Thursday: Danny and I stayed downtown after work and hit up Dangerously Delicious Pies. Against my better judgement I tried something new and regretted it. The sausage, fennel, tomato pie wasn’t bad but it wasn’t as delectable as the S.M.O.G and I had food envy. Then we met Cara, … More Weekend Update
I had a super fun, super busy weekend. Friday, I rushed to the gym to get my workout on. I’m really glad I’m in a gym going mood AND a running mood these days. If I can get my diet under control I bet I would have some pretty sweet results. After my workout … More Weekend Update

Here are my August goals: Run 5 days a week/Gym 3 days a week Complete the Codecademy (or at least keep on track) Read at … More August
I had twenty people over for Father’s Day brunch this weekend. I love having space to entertain and things went really well. I decided to try my hand at a cake again for the occasion. Normally such feats don’t end well so I don’t know why I decided to brave a rather complicated recipe. Nevertheless, … More Bee Sting Cake
