- A Horse’s Neck– also posted in Drinks
Here it is: another wedding cocktail attempt. Let me start by saying I am NOT a whisky drinker, as a matter of fact, I don’t even like the stuff. Somehow, I was talked into giving this drink a try, and to my surprise, it is actually pretty good. You cannot keep me away from anything [...]

- D.C. Restaurant Week– also posted in Food, Uncategorized
Restaurant week happens in D.C. twice every year, and we always talk about taking advantage of the fabulous deal at the delicious restaurants, but never actually get around to it. That is, until this year. Best…Decision…Ever! $35 for amazing food, and lots of it. Who can resist?! The first place I went to with the [...]

- Rosemary Gin Fizz– also posted in Food, Recipes
The roommate and I are on the hunt for specialty cocktail to serve at our wedding. It must be appropriate for autumn since we are getting married in October. This is perfect for me because one of my favorite drinks is apple cider and spiced rum, which we dubbed the “caramel apple” back in college. [...]

- Apple Bread…Delicious, but it’s no Cranberry.– also posted in Food, Recipes
I can’t stop thinking about Thanksgiving and the fact that it will bring me back to my family for a short while. With these 12 hour work days and the exhaustion it leads to, I need something to look forward to. That is Thanksgiving for me. There are too many thoughts about too many stressful [...]

- Dutch Apple Pie– also posted in Food, Recipes
About a month ago, we had a random cold weekend here in DC, and while most of the normal people chose to hunker down and wait it out, I decided it was a perfect weekend to visit the orchard. Not only did the roommate and I find the most amazing orchard with extra delicious apple [...]

- Key Lime Pie Ice Cream– also posted in Food, Recipes, Uncategorized
How is it possible that I, the girl who craves ice cream constantly, have only made ice cream once this summer?! Although I still have 6 days of summer left, and 39 days until the official change over to fall, who knows if time will allow for more flavors to be tested. Thank goodness this [...]

- Favorite Falafel– also posted in Food, Recipes
Falafel is delicious…I think. I am very picky when it comes to falafel. Enough so that it makes me wonder how I know that I like falafel in the first place, because I can’t remember eating falafel that has met my standards of tastiness… until now. Of course the falafel we had at Sultan’s Market in [...]

- A whole new world…and it’s chilly– also posted in Food, Recipes
Ice cream is my favorite…absolute favorite. I love it better than the roommate, who knows and accepts this fact. I probably should not have been allowed to order an ice cream maker, because this is a bad habit to feed. I ordered an ice cream attachment for my mixer (as I hang my head in [...]

- Popping power– also posted in Food, Math, Teaching
I always forget how much I love popcorn and my wonderful popcorn maker, but then I get the stir crazy out for a batch and I am very quickly reminded. The roommate tends to give me grief for my popcorn maker, since it is slightly bulky and one of the only unitaskers in our kitchen. [...]

- A New Year– also posted in Family, Uncategorized
Last Friday, after only my second week back, I was out of school early and could not wait to cuddle up on the couch with a cozy blanket and finish off the rest of my delicious Christmas wine. During Thanksgiving break my Aunt Cassie decided to share some delicious wines with all of us. [...]
