Chocolate Popcorn Brittle aka Popped Heaven

by Katy on February 25, 2010

Whole lotta bacon cake fans in the house, huh? I can’t wait to hear how all of your versions turn out. The cake, btw, has left my building. 2 days and Lucas polished it off. Speaking of Lucas, if you want to hang out with both of us AND drink free beer — check out [...]

Coo Coo for Coconuts!

by Katy on February 20, 2010

A while back, I found a big ugly green…thing. If it didn’t have a sign telling me that this ugly thing was a “water coconut,” I never would have believed it. This is, after all, the same store that would post something like this: Grammar. You failz it. Anyway, the Internet confirmed that this was, [...]

Technology is a Grinch

by Katy on December 25, 2009

Doesn’t technology blow? Ugh…I was working on my laptop yesterday, getting some work done so I could relax on Christmas Day when POOF! The MacBook stopped working! Now, after several stressful hours, I have booked an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar. I’m crossing my fingers — but had to laugh when I checked the [...]

Chick Flicks and Sleepy Dogs

by Katy on December 20, 2009

It has been a very busy stretch at work — I normally count on my camera to remind me of what I’ve been doing, but after taking 150 or so pictures during the Secret Saturday adventure, I only took three during the week! And two are from this morning, when I made deeeeeeelish Apricot Date [...]

Want S'more(s)?

by Katy on December 14, 2009

Thanks for all your kind comments on my surprise trip to manatee land…I think Lucas is very proud of the day that he planned. And the weekend fun continued on Sunday! First, I woke up for a bike ride — my first since my Olympic triathlon. WOW! I missed ol’ Sugar. Yes, I name my [...]

A Latte to Celebrate

by Katy on October 25, 2009

Yum…nothing like homemade lattes to start a Sunday! I whipped (ha!) these up this morning to try and treat myself and Lucas after a very busy Saturday. You know about my triathlon, and I hinted at our volunteer “job” at the Beer Festival of the South. It was fun, but really hard work — it [...]

Avoid the Noid: Amazing Homemade Pizza

by Katy on September 5, 2009

Anyone get the reference in the post title? Anyone? Bueller? Here you go. I have been known to exaggerate from time to time, using superlatives when they might not be totally warranted; from “I had the worst day” to “I have a million things to do” to “I must have the biggest butt on the [...]

And the Bass Keeps Runnin', Runnin'

by Katy on August 29, 2009

Ugh — I equal parts love and hate the Black Eyed Peas. LOVE their songs for about a month, then HATE hearing them over and over and over again on the radio. Plus, I’m too lazy to clear out my iPod — I just keep adding new songs — so right now, BEP is on [...]

Sustainable Happiness at Home and Beyond

by Katy on August 28, 2009

EEEK! Look what just came in the mail! It’s the Lebert Equalizer I won in the MizFit giveaway. Can’t wait to get Lucas to set it up! It’s been a busy 24 hours. When last we left, I was headed to a Slow Food/Sustainable Seafood chat. It was fun! It was packed, which was nice [...]

I Got 99 Problems and a Puppy Ain't One

by Katy on August 18, 2009

Here’s how my day started: an email from Lucas, with a subject that says something like “Plllllleeeeeeeaaaaassssse?” That’s never a good sign. Electronic whining. If it were something simple, he’d call. But no. He dropped a puppy bomb over email. Here’s the back story. We have two amazing dogs and two fat cats. They’re all [...]

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety Jog

by Katy on August 14, 2009

I’m in Boston! I had a great flight from Orlando … I flew first-class on the way here. Not because I’m posh like that, but because I used frequent flier miles and that was the only class left. When I got to the airport, I had about a half hour to kill, so I thought [...]
