We live in a very, very old apartment, and at times I feel like it’s crumbling down around us. That’s really the only logical explanation for the copious amounts of dust we sweep up on a daily basis. Well, that and our cats. Cats (with all their shedding and the litter they track everywhere, no [...]

Cat Grass
Maxine and Chowder love anything that smells or looks like outside. One of their favorite activities is sitting on top of the printer and watching the birds in the backyard, and their (especially Chowder’s) favorite treat is cat grass. It’s my understanding that cat grass provides necessary roughage that aids in their digestion, [...]
Italian Love Cake
I’ve been working on homework all day, but I’m taking a break to stretch my brain and eat some cake. I had big plans of making a heart-shaped red velvet cake with cream cheese icing (from scratch!) last night as part of Kyle’s Valentine’s Day gift. When I got home from work yesterday, [...]
(Portobello) Steak and Potatoes

I decided to finally do something with them and, using some cardboard and scrapbook paper, I made a few valentines to send to a few friends. I put these sweet babies in the mail today, so hopefully they’ll make [...]

Meyer Lemon Pound Cake Recipe
I’ve been struggling to figure out what to do with those beautiful Meyer lemons I picked up at Johnny Becnel’s while in New Orleans last weekend. I wanted to make something that didn’t require too much work (we made Chickpea Cutlets from Veganomicon for dinner last night, which are fairly time-consuming by themselves) that [...]
Busy business.
I have so much to say! First of all, I’ve decided to drop my clay arts class because it was eating up all of my spare time (10 hours a week, basically). Consequently, I’ll have a lot more free time (10 hours a week, basically).
On a related note, here are some things you can be [...]
