What Is A Girl To Do?

So tell me, what does a good, food-adoring gal do when her stomach decides to protest anything other than bread, rice, buttered pasta, and its ilk? When that girl is literally ordered to avoid all of the gloriously crunchy, vibrant, and/or sweet summer produce that she's been gorging on?

Is your answer that she decides to redo her kitchen (since she can't cook in it)?

You might be right...

Before:


After:


I'm about 3/4 finished, but we are headed out of town for the holiday weekend. Expect a post next week with more pictures of the finished product, and hopefully some cooking because I can't HANDLE any more blandness.

Happy Birthday, Chris

First, how gorgeous are pheasant eggs?



Last week I threw a little 32nd birthday party for my husband Chris. A good time was had by all and tons of food and drink was consumed, including enough sangria to go through 4 bottles of wine, a couple of cases of beer, and two different flavors of Italian buttercream.







Happy birthday (again), Chris.
