Camp Tockwogh 2009

It pains me that this site has become nearly defunct in recent days, but at the moment, the bulk of my energy is going into maintaining Food in Jars, making things to feature over there and getting everything ready for the wedding.
However, I’ve got a few moments right now and a post topic to boot! [...]

Twenty-one years

Several times today, I’ve found myself in conversations with people in which we exclaim over the fact that today is the first day of March (and it’s coming in like a lion here in Philly, with 8 to 10 inches of snow expected in the next 12 hours). However, it wasn’t until this evening that [...]

Engaged

So Scott and I got engaged tonight. It wasn’t a surprise for me, because I designed the ring and I’ve never been particularly good with surprises. We made it official in the courtyard at City Hall, in the glow of the Christmas lights. Despite the lack of proposal ambush, we are both still totally delighted.
I’ve [...]

Traveling and heading home

For the last week, I’ve been away, out of my normal routine and spending as little time around the computer as was possible. I spent the first half of the week hanging out in Los Angeles and the second half in Las Vegas with Scott. Since last Saturday, I’ve been on three airplanes (with still [...]

Spending, releasing and a very large coffeemaker

Yesterday afternoon, I left work feeling sort of itchy and restless, like there was soda water running through my veins. I wanted run out and buy things, just for the experience of the acquisition. At the same time I also wished to get rid of everything. Wisely, I tucked my wallet down towards the bottom [...]

Mo’s famous pancake mix

When I was growing up, my mom was in charge of the regular, daily cooking. She set out boxes of cereal in the morning before school or quickly scrambled an egg or two, made miles of peanut butter and honey sandwiches and prepared baked chicken legs and hamburger scramble until her mind numbed from the [...]

Fork You: Chili today!

Click to play this video.
So the middle of summer might not be the best time of the year to cook up a big old pot of chili, but I gotta tell you, this stuff is darn tasty no matter what month you find yourself in. I make some variation on this dish at least once [...]

Cab rides

Last Sunday morning, I tip-toed around the apartment, trying to not make too much noise as I packed up the last few things I’d need for the next three days in New York. Kissing a mostly-sleeping Scott good-bye, I headed out the door and towards the Bolt Bus.
I was running late and so hopped into [...]

Girlfriend’s Guide to Gaming

A couple of months ago, I got an email asking me if I was interested in becoming a “Brand Enthusiast” for the Nintendo DS Lite. While I’ve never been someone who goes out of her way to play video games, when the opportunity to play things like Tetris or Sudoku come my way, I [...]

A mountain of toilet paper

Scott and I have a deal that if I’m buying the toilet paper, I get to buy the variety of my choice and when he buys, he gets to choose. If I ask him to pick up a pack, I cannot dictate what he buys. I understand and respect this deal. However, the problem with [...]
