  • End of Year Wrap-Up 2018

    Posted on December 28, 2018December 28, 2018

    So, first off, apologies for the delay on posting this week. With the additional federal holiday on Monday for Christmas Eve, and then the fact that I had viral pneumonia which prevented me from doing much of anything (including Christmas), the blog got lost in the shuffle. Add to that computer troubles now I’m back […]

  • Recipe – Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts

    Posted on December 21, 2018December 21, 2018

    Is it possible that I’m too predictable? When Thanksgiving rolled around this year, my aunt – who hosts – was assigning sides for people to bring, and I was given Brussels sprouts. Maybe it’s just known that I love them. I do cook with them often enough that it would be known. I’m pretty sure […]

  • Theater – The Panties, the Partner, and the Profit

    Posted on December 19, 2018December 19, 2018

    In recent years, there has been nothing that I have enjoyed more in the theater than one of the excellent new translations of French farce by David Ives at the Shakespeare Theatre.  I’m pretty sure I’ve seen three of the four shows he wrote produced there, and they’ve all been delights.  So when it was […]

  • DIY – Pumpkin Spice Soap

    Posted on December 17, 2018December 17, 2018

    As a new parent, I’ve reached a new part of the holidays I haven’t really had to deal with in the past.  And that’s the part where you give a gift to the people who care for your child all day.  Yes, the parents at the big girls’ school organize to give gifts to the teachers there, […]

  • Event – Ingrid Michaelson Trio

    Posted on December 14, 2018December 14, 2018

    It has been a rough week.  What with the baby not sleeping well at the beginning of it (she’s doing much better now, thank goodness), and then two evening events, and a night on my own when the boy was traveling?  PLUS it seems like all the Holiday parties are this week, including one at […]

  • Recipe – Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie

    Posted on December 12, 2018December 12, 2018

    Friends, I am struggling today.  The baby didn’t sleep well last night (more teething?) and I am running on fumes and a Venti Starbucks chai latte, with plans to make a big cup of night owl tea later.  But for now, I’m going to tell you about a pie of which I am very proud. […]

  • Theater – An Inspector Calls

    Posted on December 10, 2018December 10, 2018

    When the Boy sent me the information about this production (and about the ones upcoming), I was super excited – and for a dumb reason.  All the shows put on by the Shakespeare Theatre Company this fall have been under 2 hours with no intermission.  Basically – movie length, and when they’re done, they’re done.  […]

  • TV – Bodyguard (Netflix)

    Posted on December 7, 2018December 7, 2018

    So I think I’ve mentioned in the past that the Boy and I have a list of shows that we are slowly working our way through.  For a long time, it was a physical list – a tatty piece of paper that had food and drink spilled on it, that was smudged and crinkled.  It […]

  • Day of Mourning, Day Off

    Posted on December 5, 2018

    Hey everyone. Because today is the funeral for former President George HW Bush, federal employees like me get the day off. And instead of writing a blog post, I’ve decided to be productive around the house and get rid of a bunch of things the Boy and I have been saving to donate. So I’ll […]

    Posted on December 3, 2018December 3, 2018

    In the time since having a baby and taking on breastfeeding as a personal challenge, there have been a few complicating factors, but one of those that was both unexpected and not was my hunger.  That’s right, since I’ve been breastfeeding, I’ve been hungrier than normal.  This is not entirely unexpected as I noted earlier, […]
