I know, I know – Valentines Day was more than two weeks ago. But it’s still February. And what if I told you that these cookies were for an event that took place on the 16th? It was still a Valentines party of sorts, but it wasn’t on V-Day itself, so…I don’t feel so bad […]
Month: February 2016
Movie – Shaun the Sheep
As a complete-ist, I have to finish as much of a thing as possible. So when watching Oscar-nominated movies, I’m obligated to watch the animated features as well, because I have to. It’s totally not because I want to. Except maybe for this one. Ok, all of them. I really like animated movies, and those […]
Game – Mice and Mystics
I can’t begin to tell you guys how excited I am to be writing this post. Or how much I love this game in general. But I’m going to try. It all goes back to this past summer when Tabletop was reaching the end of the season. The last episodes were a two-parter where Wil […]
Book – “The Girl in the Spider’s Web”
I am a complete-ist. We know from my inability to stop reading terrible books that I will probably finish reading a series, no matter how dumb the first entry. I have been known to figure out early on that a particular series is not worth my time, but that’s not often the case. More […]
Recipe – Valentines Dinner
Last year on Valentines Day, I got the boy a cookbook. He had expressed an interest in cooking together more, and I found a great one called Date Night In. We had always planned to do one of the “nights” together, but for some reason never got around to it. Fast forward to a couple […]
Theater – A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Before the Boy and I started dating, I would never have guessed that I would find a guy who was as into theater as I was. As a giant theater nerd all my life – who acted in school productions, attended Shakespeare Theater and musical performances whenever I had the chance, took classes about theater […]
Restaurant – Tupelo Honey
I’ve mentioned before that I go to church, am a Christian in the actively participating sense, and that there aren’t a lot of young people in churches nowadays. But lucky for me, there is an active group of young adults (in the “we have graduated from college and aren’t yet middle aged yet” sense of […]
Movie – “Sicario”
Watching movies for the Oscars is hard. Because not all of them are movies that you would normally go to see if you were just heading out for an evening at the cinema. So while I’d heard about “Sicario”, it’s not necessarily one that I would have chosen to go see if I were spending […]
Book – “You’re Never Weird on the Internet (almost)”
Anyone who is surprised that I have big heart-eyes for Felicia Day probably doesn’t know me very well. Number one, she is a redhead, so she gets automatic bonus points from a fellow ginger. She also appeared in Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, which is everything fantastic rolled into one amazing miniseries/movie thing. My favorite thing […]
Recipe – Braised Potatoes With Bay Leaves and Garlic
As much as I save recipes and search for them later, occasionally I come across a recipe and just HAVE to make it. Sometimes it’s because I’m craving whatever the ingredients are, and sometimes it’s because I look at what’s in it and go “I have all those things in my kitchen already!” (See here) […]
