TToT – Cobwebs

You’ll have to please excuse the bit of dust on my blog. Despite any good intentions or potentially good post ideas, very little has happened around here – save the TToTs – in a very long time. I blame it on several things. Some of the reasons are interesting and relevant; others are not. Regardless, here…

TToT – The Week of Summer Insanity

This has been a crazy week. And this TToT is going to be the fastest, shortest, latest, and most dependent upon the graces of the SGV that I’ve ever posted. Zilla had a full week of activities, which means that I did as well. Here’s what life looked like… (hold onto your hats because it’s…

TToT – Preoccupied

I guess you could say I’ve been a bit preoccupied. I’ve posted very little in this space in the last three weeks. I’m certain that I’m not keeping up with friends and fellow bloggers the way I’d like to, despite all the best intentions. I’ve been doing and thinking lately – a lot. I’ve stared at…

TToT – Summertime

There’s something special about summertime… The daylight lasts longer… Time seems to move a bit slower… Even the busy days feel a bit less structured and demanding. There is time to breathe, to inhale deeply, and to live deliberately… We are one week into our official summer break and have filled it with wonderful moments…

Wordless Wednesday – Chickens on the Farm on a Summer Evening

CSA season is here! Our visits to our summer CSA farm started the first Friday in June. Here are a few shots of the farm and some very cool chickens we saw while there. The rooster was particularly beautiful, although I don’t think the photos do him justice. The chicken shots aren’t the greatest – I…

Once Upon a Year or Two Ago

Sometimes it’s nice to take a look at where we’ve been. Every now and then I take a look through photo albums, old letters, piles of filing in my office that need to be handled…but I haven’t done much backward observation here on my blog. Today’s as good a day as any, so come along…

Soup of the Week – Stuffed Pepper Soup and Time Travel

Sometimes good food does more than fill your belly. Every now and then food has the power to actually transport you back in time. And that’s exactly what happened when I tasted this stuffed pepper soup. First of all, it’s just flat-out delicious. If you like stuffed peppers, you will love this soup. And if you don’t like…

Soup of the Week – Autumn Vegetable

I know, I know. It’s cold and it’s snowing. It feels like winter, not late autumn. But I promise you this autumn vegetable soup will warm you up from head to toe and from the inside out! I am not a big fan of traditional vegetable soup. I don’t know why because I do love…

TToT – Post-iversary!

So as it turns out, this is my 350th post. A little post-iversary, if you will. I kind of want confetti and party horns to happen here…pretend it did. Now let’s get down to the business of being Thankful. I’ve been exercising my culinary muscles in the kitchen again this week and managed a couple…

Smoothie Week – What’s Your Weirdest?

I’ve been drinking smoothies daily for about a year and a half. I can’t remember exactly why I started but I’m pretty sure it had something to do with an abundance of CSA vegetables and Pinterest. Put those two things together and you’ll find plenty of inspiration! This week Williams-Sonoma is celebrating Smoothie Week. The…
