compliments always make a girl feel good

This time of year is especially brutal at work. Customers are angry, coworkers are grumpy, and it hasn’t stopped raining in months.  I think I’ve mentioned before we don’t have a dress code at work. This leaves what folks show up in to great interpretation.  I usually dress business casual most days, the days IContinue reading “compliments always make a girl feel good”

snow day(s)

Portland doesn’t see snow too often and when we do most folks just don’t know what to do.  The powers-that-be at work decided we needed to stick it out for far too long.  So by the time they decided we should go home the road were clogged and buses were way behind schedule.  I hoppedContinue reading “snow day(s)”

Soup for the soul

There are days where nothing makes us feel better than comfort food.  Rich, warm, fatty, decadent, savory or sweet.  We all have that thing that takes us to a warm, safe place.  My mother never made meatloaf and mashed potatoes, but I love it so.  I also don’t recall her making lasagna.  She did teachContinue reading “Soup for the soul”

What I ate Wednesday

I usually do wordless Wednesday with some thoughtful image. But this morning’s breakfast has lead me to this. That and I am certain I haven’t talked about food enough in the last few weeks. I’m having withdrawals from spending so little time in my kitchen. I am not a picky eater. The only thing thatContinue reading “What I ate Wednesday”

blue cheese bacon dip

I woke up this morning at 2am. I do that every night actually. I wake up thinking about a tv show, a book, a recipe, or any random crap my brain deems I need to be reminded of. This morning I woke up thinking I bought walnuts for a recipe but never used them. WhichContinue reading “blue cheese bacon dip”

bacon wrapped…

Bacon wrapped around anything is pure heaven. But sitting around giggling with the girls over cocktails you can only imagine how the conversation could take a turn. I cannot put in print all the giggly bacon brashness that was bandied about. What I can share with you is my latest foray into Bacon Nirvana… ThisContinue reading “bacon wrapped…”

some bacon nuttiness

This wasn’t going to be today’s post but these people keep pestering me. It is hard work being so poopular 😉 I made bacon again recently (more to come on that little adventure) and I wanted to do something fun with it. Certainly just eating bacon is fun in its own right, but I neededContinue reading “some bacon nuttiness”

mmmm mac & cheese

It was a dark and stormy night.  Not really, it was clear and cool and the kiddies were all decked out in costumes.  How else should I celebrate Halloween than with a few friends and a giant vat of macaroni and cheese. As per my norm, I scoured the web for visual inspiration then set off onContinue reading “mmmm mac & cheese”

drunk on love

I have a few addictions…  obsessions.  call it what you want.  I love shoes.  That love is only rivaled by my love of bacon.  I had a shoe closet built (a shrine really).  Only a select few have been invited into the inner sanctum and seen the shoeshrine.  It holds several mortgage payments worth of pretty littleContinue reading “drunk on love”
