Pretty crazy week this week! Nothing new right? Incredibly, this is our first full week of work since before Christmas. Since the campus is full of students and staff again, everything is abuzz with activity and new ideas, which always means more work for Neil and I. We’ve also been trying to hit the gym [...]

We never leave a vacation without a new favorite food, and the Sweet Potato and Shrimp Croquettes (Bolinhos) at Cafe Brazil were by far a new and already much-missed favorite. Inquisitive and with the excuse of having nearly all the ingredients already in the kitchen, we decided to give our own inspired variation a try. [...]

Monday was the picture of spring. Temperatures climbed into the upper sixties! We had the heat off, the doors and windows open, it was surreal. We took Clive on a long walk, and left the screen door open and locked for the cats to enjoy. A little background. Felix gets weird when one or both [...]

My collection of hoarded black bananas in the back of my freezer emerged to yield another loaf of my favorite quick bread. I love all things banana (evidence here, here and here)!

Bedtime is serious business for the four-legged boys in our house. Every night after they’ve had their dinner, Felix and Clive immediately start trying to “motivate” us to go to bed. Clive whines incessantly, and Felix opens and slams kitchen cabinets. Eventually, Neil “reluctantly” makes his way downstairs and ends up laying in bed with [...]

So last week we abruptly disappeared and left our little ol’ blog a hanging. We kind of kept mum on a lot of the details of where and what we were doing. Truth is, we’d been in dire need of a vacation for some time. We stumbled across some cheap tickets and decided to jump [...]

Friday was our last WOD at Fay Street. Our CrossFit group has grown so much over the past year that we’re bursting at the seams in our old meat packing refrigeration room. Weird place to work out? I Googled, and apparently before that it used to house mules and livestock for auction. I guess I’m [...]

Yay! It’s that time again, New Year’s resolutions! I’ll be honest, I totally forgot what we even resolved to do last year, so it has obviously not been at the forefront of our priorities. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t move any mountains. Let’s first tackle our list from last year: {New Bikes this spring!} [...]
