I am currently sitting on 28,567 e-mails in my inbox. I’m either absurdly popular or have a problem with signing up for crappy subscriptions that I once planned on opening and literally have never even touched. Unfortunately it is the latter and am wanting to gouge my eyes out every time I look at my […]

Much similar to the last time I was sick (read here) my inner hypochondriac decided to show face this weekend when body chills followed by aches and pains (mostly stomach pains because I tried convincing myself I was not hungry) decided to invade my personal space and leave me bedridden while I anxiously awaited for […]

GUYS ITS FINALLY BASEBALL SEASON! And I literally couldn’t care less. Well, I couldn’t have cared less until I moved to St. Louis.

I have been trying to lay off the baked goods as 99 percent of my pants aren’t fitting and homegirl does not have a cash flow to replace the old pantalones. But since the Super Bowl is basically a holiday I figured I […]

Yes, I am calling cranberry sauce layered between two wheels of brie a cake. Why? Because I can. And because it is just as good as any dessert cake out there. In a savory sense. I take my cranberry sauce very seriously come Thanksgiving/Christmas. And I feel like in my recent years of gathering it […]

Poor don’t buy rich. Wise words spoken by my father when listening to me ramble on about some things that I wanted.  He couldn’t be more right (insert violin solo here).      But poor does go out to dinner with parents knowing that they will be picking up the bill. Boo-yah. My parents were […]

I literally have had some MAJOR recipe fails followed (thank God) by some MAJOR wins! I wanted to jump off of a bridge yesterday after spending seven hours in the kitchen and accomplishing nothing but pure $#!T. Just a giant mess to clean up and  several large glugs of wine.  Thankfully by this morning my […]
