The chap and I were having brunch a few weekends ago at a neighborhood joint that is supposedly famous for their sticky toffee pudding. We were too full from a weird smattering of brunch foods that ranged from white chocolate almond pancakes to a hamburger that we had to skip the this favorite. Since we…

Shrimpy Salad, Giant Flavor
My quest is to eat healthy(ish) during the work week so that I can bake desserts on the weekend. My latest, quick week night dinner is this spicy shrimp salad. Prep a salad base. I used spinach, English cucumber, scallions, and avocado. Dress with salt, pepper, and olive oil….or try a ginger sesame something from…
National Puppy Day
I didn’t realize how much I missed having a dog until one galloped back into my life recently. Brady is the sweetest, most rambunctious five month old golden retriever pup. I hadn’t seen him in a week and when we were reunited last night, he took a running leap in the chair I was sitting…

Bienvenido a Miami

Moving Day
Strangers! I finally, finally moved house this weekend! I’ll be convienently located near my office which may cease to exist since we were just purchased by another company. Classic timing, but for now my eight minute commute is a joy. I’ll fill you in soon with some photos of the new place. For now, it’s…
