Foodgasm: The Birthday Edition

By jen

I am happy to say Wildfish Seafood Grill is still one of my two favorite restaurants on the planet.  Today I can say that their dessert officially trumps my previous favorite dessert EVAH at Filomena’s in Georgetown, VA.  I will always love Filomena for a million reasons but their dessert has been dethroned.  But I [...]

Holiday Crazy

By jen

Today I used one of my floating holidays and guilted a friend/coworker to come and help me get organized.  Let me preface this by saying that this young lady is basically the glue that keeps my projects on schedule.  We are to the point of completing each others sentences and she knows my expressions to [...]

By jen

I am watching No Reservations on Netflix Instant and for some reason I need hot wings.  Hubby is gonna hook me up!  Is there ever such a thing as too much hot wings in your life?  No, there isn’t!

Thanksgiving Prep Because I Am OCD about Lists…

Cuisine to a Five Year Old…

By jen

We have a long history in my house of naming foods in an odd way.  Chicken soup is chickie water, why?  Because I use to be so unevolved I hated soup, called it meat and water.  Now I have seen the light and am nuts about soup.  Daughter No. 4 when she was little couldn’t [...]
