Bougie Leftovers
Flashback Friday Unbelievably, October is halfway over. Here in North Carolina, it is completely baffling how that’s possible. It doesn’t feel like October because it has been 90 degrees most of this week. The fall feel is absolutely not here yet. This weekend it will be though. The weather people have assured us high temps… →

Cooking with Grandma
Flashback Friday I was scrolling through the pictures on my phone looking for inspiration for today’s post. “Flashback” doesn’t mean you have to flash WAY back. I came across a picture of a dish that I made a couple years ago. I usually make it once every summer. My grandmother used to make it. Cucumbers… →

I Like Beets, But I Don’t Like Liver (or Pepsi)
Flashback Friday I’m revisiting one of the daily prompts that came up on this day last year. I thought maybe there was a way I could tie in my answer to the “Flashback Friday” theme. My answer to this question last year was “Why?”. My husband would always try and help me when my anxiety… →

Yes, It Was That Good
“Something Good” Sunday After Josh and I ate dinner last night, it was easy for me to decide on the good thing I was going to write about today. With it being Valentine’s Day yesterday, Josh cooked us a lovely dinner. He grilled filet mignon and asparagus that had a great vinaigrette/marinade type of seasoning… →

My Potato Salad Dowry
Here we go with another food question. Come on WordPress! How many times do I have to tell you about me and food? As in, I don’t eat much because I take medicine that kills my appetite, and 2, I don’t like cooking. My husband is the foodie and takes pride in cooking these amazing… →

It’s Not Wrong, But You Might Be
What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? It’s funny that this question comes up today, the day after my journey to becoming a Swiftie concluded. I can honestly say I changed my mind about Taylor Swift. Never hated her, just was never a fan. But now I’m kind of obsessed like… →

Saturday Steak Night
What are your favorite types of foods? Once again, a question that is nearly identical to one that was asked recently—What foods would you like to make? Asked on July 18th of this year. Read Ew! Food! to see why I generally don’t like questions about food. I don’t eat much anymore. The medicine my… →

“Did You Wash Your Hands?” And Other Hard Hitting Questions
Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. Me: Is it an animal? Lily: No. Me: Is it food? Lily: No. Me: Is it an object? Lily: Yes. Me: Can you ride it? Lily: giggles No! And on and on this line of… →

Cold and Tired, But Ready for Adventure
How are you feeling right now? This is a very appropriate question for my current situation. And by situation, I mean sitting up cross legged in a very fluffy bed with furry pink pillows and velvet blankets. My littlest niece has camped out with her big sister so I could have her room while I’m… →

Matrimony and a Mystery Dinner
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? Meals are pretty expensive these days. When I was in high school and went on this youth trip to Washington, D.C., the tour leaders gave us each a $5 bill when we would stop at McDonald’s or some other fast food… →
