I may not be the best cook in the world — but I know how to read a recipe. So when I tell you to make this now…make.this.now. As Kel said better than me, POM + Fish (I used tilapia) = Happy! The reduced pomegranate-mint sauce was delicious, but I have to say, I think it would be even better over ice cream. It got sweet and sticky and ohhhhh so good. Also so good? My recipe for Chocolate Popcorn {Read More}

Housekeeping: I’ve been updating the blog — there’s a new look to the Recipes page as well as my Videos page. Let me know what you think! I don’t have a lot of fears — off the top of my head, I can only name: Birds Flying (more like a fear of turbulence) Losing loved ones (duh) People that look like animals Shudder.

When I walked in the door this evening, Lucas told me I had two packages waiting — it’s Christmas in January! The first was a box I ordered back in December, from Scan Cafe.

Dear Running, I miss you. In the days since we last spent time together, I have found in myself a sense of loss and longing — and I wonder…do you miss me? I’ve been spending more time with your cousin, Ralking, as well as some time with your distant relation, Walking. We all know it’s best, for now, to separate me from Running. At least until our unforseen enemy, Injury, leaves forever. Unfortunately, Injury is an uninvited visitor who has {Read More}
