Happy Fourth of July! I don't know about y'all but summer is definitely in full swing here. It was 92 degrees at 10am this morning! Even though it doesn't feel like summer, since we can't do many of the summery things we would normally be doing, the heat certainly reminds us of the season. One... Continue Reading →
The coronavirus pandemic has taken a lot of things from us collectively. Lives, health, daily freedoms, jobs, money... Some of these things are obviously more important than others. One of the things that it has taken is simultaneously trivial and powerful - our celebrations. No one is dying for lack of a birthday party, but... Continue Reading →
Happy Labor Day Weekend! The unofficial end of summer has arrived. You'd be hard-pressed to know that here though, given that it's going to be sunny and in the upper 80s. We're spending our weekend at "The Land" as we call it - in rural Amherst County. While we still have the last remnants of... Continue Reading →
Today marks my first full week of being home with the baby on maternity leave alone and Selim's first week being back at work. I'm learning that neither is easy. Selim has to get up early, after having frequently interrupted sleep all night, go to work all day, and be separated from this little baby... Continue Reading →

Kudos to whoever first thought, "Hmm... let me smash some avocado on a piece of bread, top it was something Instagrammable, and see if people will pay 10 times more than the ingredients are worth for it..." #avocadotoast And Instagram has never been the same. Well... Continue Reading →
As we've mentioned before (see Mint Chocolate Bars), we like to bring a treats in for the staff when we finish a rotation. It's the least we can do for the people who spend their time and effort training us! We're not the only one's who do this - but we do try to have... Continue Reading →
Once upon a time, I used to buy salad dressing in stores. But a few years ago, I realized how easy it is to make a vinaigrette at home. The greatest part of it for me is that I'm not committed to a single salad dressing until I finish the bottle. One night I'll use... Continue Reading →
You've heard of fruit pizzas right? They're shaped liked pizzas, but that's really where the similarities end. To the best of my knowledge, fruit pizzas are essentially entirely sweet, with a base more like cookie dough, topped with fruits and sugar. You eat them for dessert, not dinner. That is not what we're doing here tonight.... Continue Reading →
So confession. We're not really the big Valentine's Day types. I feel like I'm a middle-of-the-road kind of girl when it comes to this. I don't hate Valentine's Day or go on long rants against the commercialism of the day. But I also don't really love or expect a dozen red roses with a heart-shaped... Continue Reading →
I don't know about where anyone else lives, but it is hot as ****** down here in Columbia, SC. At 9am this morning, it was already above 90 degrees. I might melt. Or die. So this afternoon, I decided to treat myself to a cool little drink. It's somewhere between a smoothie and a sparkling... Continue Reading →
Bon Appetit Baby!
