I didn’t plan to stop blogging for an entire month. It just worked out that way. I could tell you that it’s because I was busy with my move or my summer class or my thesis. Or that my new place has a very old stove with two ovens that are covered in splattered grease [...]

My time in grad school is quickly coming to a close. I’ve already started revising the stories I’ve written over the last year in preparation for my final thesis class in the fall. But of course a few pieces won’t make it to thesis. One of them is an exercise I did in a travel writing [...]
Urban Gardening

I’ve never been an urban gardener. Without a backyard or much light in the apartment, I didn’t think I had the right conditions to even grow an herb garden successfully. But my next door neighbors are much more creative. Like me, they have a small space out back, which is just a slab of concrete between their [...]

Warrior Dash and Turkey Legs
Posted in Fun Food Bites, tagged smoked ham, smoked turkey, turkey legs, warrior dash on May 29, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Turkey legs aren’t just for the Renaissance Festival and Disney World. Apparently they’re also the perfect reward after running through thick, sticky rivers of mud, dashing up cargo nets and through rows of tires, and jumping over fire. Last weekend my family – my parents, Jessie, Kenny, and I – did the Warrior Dash in [...]
Great Resource: Cook’s Thesaurus

The website lists definitions and pictures for a slew of foods, from sea vegetables like samphire to meats like emu and pigeon. What I appreciate most, though, is [...]
