Spent a lovely day at the dog park yesterday evening. It was the first chance we’ve had to see Anja and Steve’s new puggle puppy, Fred. Fred is adorable, and he heard it no less than 10 times at the park. He wanted to romp and play and let everyone smell him. Clive quickly became [...]

Paint!? Okay, let me explain. This weekend we got a lesson in making plans. Sometimes the plans you make are not the plans that happen. Sometimes what you think is cement is water, and all you can do is make the best with what you’ve got. Our original plans to head south to Springfield for [...]

A little belated, but I wanted to share a few pictures from Clive’s first puppy play date from this past weekend. We’re trying to introduce him to more and more dogs to gauge his social skills and so my best friend Rachel brought her puppy Jack to play. These pictures may make it seem like [...]

I have been wanting to do a rack of ribs for a long time. Having never prepared my own, the idea of really tasty ribs for our barbecue this weekend seemed like the perfect opportunity to give it a try. Don’t let the prospect of doing your own ribs (without a smoker even!) scare you, [...]

We had an awesome weekend! So much so that we only realized afterward how few photos we actually took to document it. Such is life. Rachel, Luke and puppy Jack arrived Friday night and we spent Saturday visiting and shopping before our massive backyard bbq Saturday night. We had amazing food! There’s just no other [...]

Neil and I hope you have a great holiday weekend (about time for a 3-day weekend don’t you think?) and we’ll be back Tuesday after our food-filled respite. My best friend Rachel is coming to town with her boyfriend Luke and puppy Jake, so we’ll have a full house and lots of puppy play date [...]

I know what your’e thinking, “couple days late much?” Yes. We should have been a good foodies and actually made this before Cinco De Mayo but alas, sometimes spontaneity is good for you and furthermore, isn’t sangria good for just about anytime?
Growing up, Sangria always sounded dangerous, mildly illusive and to be honest a little [...]

We love baking for our families. It’s a show of love, a test of skills, and of course it involves great food. However, in the past year the weather has freakishly worked against every planned holiday trip to see family. At Christmas you’ll remember we were trapped by a snowstorm, and our initial Easter plans [...]

Hello Everyone! I hope you had a good weekend. Ours started out pretty cruddy, but turned around amazingly. We were supposed to drive 3 hours south to Springfield to pick up our repaired Jeep, but they were missing a part that was delayed from the distributor so our trip was cancelled. We recovered nicely with [...]

What will they think of next? Dessert Sushi made from Rice Krispie treats, Fruit by the Foot and dismembered peeps. From the genius entries to Peeps Week over at Serious Eats. I only wish I had more time this week to participate. Alas, maybe next year.
