The radiator in our living room is broken. There have been some very fortunate and unfortunate elements about this situation. Unfortunately, when it stopped working last Sunday, it gushed water onto our hardwood floors. It was like someone turned on a water faucet. Fortunately, Matt was home and heard the gushing. He was able to … Read more
So twice this week, I’ve found myself walking around the city with earphones on. The earbuds are hooked up to my phone, but there’s no music or sound coming out. I’m literally just wearing them, like jewelry or something. This started because I just realized I can watch videos on my phone. So I put … Read more

At least once a week, I come home to scent of heavily seasoned drum sticks or chicken wings. I enjoy the taste and appreciate the convenience of the pre-spiced poultry (and I want … Read more
Looks like are going to buy a house. We put an offer in. It was accepted. Now we just have to get past all the checkpoints (inspection, title review, etc., etc.) and then we will have new home. I will be ridiculously excited! And so will Matt. He has already fully designed and priced out … Read more
I have had a few folks ask for an update on Matt’s and my quest to sell our condo and find a new home in the city — so I thought I would give a short update. If you want to skip this and go right to the recipe, I can hardly blame you. Paleo … Read more
I had some fun in the kitchen this weekend. I was like a DJ. Not a radio DJ but like a big-time DJ in a club who takes songs that you love and mixes them together into a non-stop musical medley that keeps moving on the dance floor. Or perhaps a better analogy for what … Read more
The answer is so obvious in retrospect. I don’t know how I missed it. But somehow I did. For the past few months, I have been struggling to answer the question, “How can make sardines so they taste really good?” Because these little fishies are a paleo wonder food. Canned sardines are a quick source … Read more
