On the first day of Crockery…

Huffington Post gave to me…. An alleged 52 Slow Cooker Recipes that I’ll never want to live without. So I decided to investigate this claim because to be truthful I have never had anything come out of a crock-pot that was inedible. For terrible cooks like myself, its the one way to not screw up … Continue reading

Get to the beach!

Get to the beach!

So it’s kinda weird that all the times my father-in-law has visited and we haven’t gone to the beach once. Whats wrong with us?

Local CSA

Over the summer a lot of our peers participated in a local farms CSA program. I am not sure why I didn’t get in on it, probably because I have an extremely bad habit of forgetting things. In California a lot of families on base got the CSA boxes from our local farms at like … Continue reading

While in NYC we had the pleasure of getting to have a dinning experience at The Modern, which is the restaurant in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). The dinning room had a fresh feeling, which most likely radiated from the crisp linens on the tables and the pristine…. everything. The servers seemed to float … Continue reading
