It’s *entirely* too hot to be jacking around with cooking some sort of intricate meal right now, so I decided to make bahn mi in my instant pot for dinner tonight. I legit was going to come here and post the recipe and history of said sandwich, which I literally just now looked up, but […]

When I was a kid, I remember thinking that 2020 seemed like a lifetime away. I envisioned flying cars and assumed life would be much like, “The Jetsons”. Though I do have a small army of robots who mop my floor, (there should probably be a post about this someday, but I’m pretty much ashamed […]

Jay had a work thing in Amsterdam last week, and invited me to tag along. We decided to spend a few days after his conference in Paris, as I’d never been before, and it had been on my bucket list for a long time. I’m not the greatest traveler on earth, so doing a short […]

TLDR: 8/10 (Yum)It’s absolutely no secret that I love Mexican food, although if I was being fair, I’d probably say that I love Tex-Mex more than truly traditional ‘interior Mexican’ cuisine. We go downtown to eat a lot and kept passing ATX Cocina. Eventually, we started seeing them on OpenTable and I noticed the reviews […]

2 months ago Jay comes to me and he’s like, “babe, we need a boat” and I’m like “k”…and he’s like, “Naw, babe– I mean we should REALLY get a boat…” and I’m like “yeah, ok”. Well, the next thing I know we’re at a dealership and somehow we purchase a brand new 2019 Nautique […]

I just need to start this first post by saying I wrote an entire OTHER first post, put a bunch of photos into it, formatted it, spent me some TIME writing it out all perfect and shiz… and OF COURSE the website crashed and I lost everything. Fun times ya’ll. Fun times. I took a 3 […]
