Return of the Mac

I have been working furiously (ok, that’s a lie, I’m really only at about 35%) for the past day and a half to try and get Windows on my MacBook…all for the glorious blogging tool that is Live Writer.  Success!  Finally!! (I hope?) Also successful was our first go at non-Starbucks coffee making.  New coffee maker.  New coffee.  New grinder. New start to the day.

Hey, I waited 6 years for this day to come, so I know something about patience.  [College] [1st Anniversary] [Graduation]… Read more >

Add first…

…subtract later never. That’s my version of the improve-your-diet rule, at least.  I like trying new things, but I also like keeping the old (can you tell I was a Girl Scout?).  New: Israeli couscous & French Whole Wheat couscous Old: Quinoa And so the three-grain pilaf was born… Into the pot went: 1/3 cup Israeli couscous 1/3 cup French WW couscous 1/3 cup quinoa 2 cups water I left it to soak in the pot while I went on a run, showered, and answered emails (~1.5 hours). When I returned to the stove, almost… Read more >
