I am fairly confident that by the end of this post I will have some correlation between one of my favorite Shel Silverstein poems and the events of this past weekend. Fact is neither Finny or I was sick, but we did take pause (well I did and inferred that he did as well) when […]

If you’ve read my brief ‘About’ section you know I like food. If you follow me on Instagram you may also notice that I like to take pictures of my food. I have to. Often times I’m cooking solo and Finn just doesn’t seem to appreciate the art as much as my camera or iPhone […]
Read MoreI’ve been meaning to try this chili recipe since a friend of mine made it for a dinner early last year. He read about it in his Esquire Magazine and was so excited for us to try it having spent the whole day in the kitchen preparing. It was phenomenal and it was vegetarian which I […]
