I hope you’re having a lovely weekend!

I’m on the way to Duke for a show in the snow, which rhymes but also means that a lot of different things could go wrong.

Oh well.

Anyway, my valentine would like me to remind you of this recipe, cornish game hens with roasted veggies.

It’s delicious, and you’ll totally love it if you haven’t tried it yet.  It’s great for the weekend, too!

Got any fun plans this weekend?

The Most Inappropriate V-day Post Ever

Sorry, guys.

I’ve told you before that I love me some David Thorne.

He’s hilarious, sarcastic, vulgar, and totally on point with most of his social commentary.

This article, though, is hilarious.  They all are, and I encourage you to not work at all today and read every single article on his website.

BUT if you don’t have time for that, click here, and read this.  You’ll die.  It cracks me up to know that other people fight about total nothingness like we never do.

Have a fun day, and let me know if you have any bright ideas for fun dates tonight.  I don’t want my bald manfriend to bore of doing the same thing all the time.

And by the same thing, I mean, of course, me prancing around in skimpy nighties with freshly shaven legs and a full face of makeup begging him to bed me.

If it were opposite day.

Valentine’s Day Dinner Plan

If fish with parmesan crust and dill isn’t your thing, and you thought my cornish game hen “lovebirds” were dumb, I totally get it.

Some people need meat on fancy occasions.  It’s ok.

I’m not mad that you think the other stuff I tell you to cook is lame.

Last year about this time I made some steak with blue cheese sauce.

Then, I told you to make it for Valentine’s day, along with several other suggestions.

It was the most popular Valentine’s idea of 2012.

I’m not feeling like we should reinvent the wheel, are you?  I can reinvent it another day.

Today, though, let’s talk steak.

2012 – A Review

oh MAN.

The year is over, folks!

I can’t believe it. Really.  What the heck?

I know I usually talk about food, and you know that if you’re needing motivation for what to cook over the next few days you can just head over to the recipes page, right?

I know you know that.  You’re an adult.

Instead of food, though, I thought it’d be nice if we talked about this year.  It’s been a doozie, and I don’t see 2013 calming down one bit.

Thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you have wonderful plans.  Armed with 5 dishes, we’re about to head over to my family’s house for The Day.

The Day involves drinking during the day.

The Day involves taking pictures of various groups of our families, with people shouting instructions like this:

Mama, no!  My head’s not in it!

Zoom in….NOT BY WALKING!

Don’t stand too close to me.  If these are good I want to crop you out for Facebook.

What I’m trying to say is, I love Thanksgiving.

Have a wonderful day, friends.  I’d love to know what your plans are for this wonderful weekend!  Tomorrow it’s back to yoga and counseling and real life, so I’m especially thankful to have today with the people I love the most.

I’m thankful for YOU, too.  You knew that, right?

Love,

Lindsay

Classic Tailgating Favorites

It’s almost the weekend!

How’s your fall going?

Our is fine.  We realized that buying a house under ancient oak trees with only one rake and precious little personal motivation means that we will just swim in leaves until they rot and return to the Earth.

It’s very grown up, we know.

Also, we haven’t turned on the heat or air in over a month.  Our utility bill is so dang low, it’s wonderful.

But, it was 37 degrees last night and we slept in sweatshirts.  We’re in a battle to see who will cave first.  I bet it’ll be Jay.  He’s very delicate.

Anyway, surely you know that, even if you aren’t a “fan,” one of the best parts of fall is FOOTBALL and making delicious food for viewing parties, tailgating, or just because it’s the weekend.

Why not, right?

Baking with the Cutest Little Visitor

A few months ago Jay’s niece came to visit, and we were lucky enough to get to spend an afternoon with her!  We don’t get her alone often, because she’s in high demand with the family, so we were super psyched to play with her for a whole afternoon.

In our quest to be the Favorite Aunt and Uncle (ha), we decided that cupcake making was going to be the weapon of choice for the day.

I’ll tell you about the cupcakes coming up next, but this was quite possibly the cutest thing to watch EVER.  A large bald uncle educating his tiny niece on the finer points of glitter sprinkles?

I’m in.

This will be a shock, coming from me…

Restaurant Review – Common Market Charlotte

In honor of our friend Rory and his pretty fiance Jordan coming into town tomorrow for a show (he’s pretty famous.  you should know who he is), I totally need to tell you about the last time we went to see him perform in Charlotte and ate at this weird little grocery-store-deli-bar place for brunch.

It was weird.

But great.

But totally weird.

We ate at The Common Market in Charlotte, NC, and it was totally the type of place my partially hippi-fied manfriend loves to check out.
