While home: I forgot how much of a freak my dad is. I remembered how fun vegging with my fam is. I forgot how much it sucks to leave home. I remembered to pack lots of good healthy eats for the road trip back to LA. I forgot to bring utensils to eat said food. I remembered to ask the gas station attendant to help me out.

I made this a few days ago, but never got around to posting it…because I had a few issues along the way…so in case you thought all my recipes ended in success, here’s a bit of a reality check.

So after practicing this… …we all… Read more >

But it’s getting there… As an early birthday present from my in-laws, I got organic rosemary, basil, and thyme to give my green thumb a jump start. Since it was raining the other day, I was in a zen kind of mood. I blasted classical music on the iHome and got to work repotting… Read more >
