This was yet another Pinterest recipe that I stumbled upon. Fair warning, while it’s pretty easy to make, the ingredients aren’t super easy to find. I had to order the Lebanese 7-spice and the nuts were tough to track down in the grocery store.
Read MoreThe only thing that I would change is adding more vegetables to it to round out the meal. But otherwise it was so tasty that we didn’t leave any behind for leftovers.
Read MoreI was looking for another way to make catfish besides blackened catfish or frying the hell out of it. I was also looking for a recipe on the healthier side and Pinterest, as always delivered.
Read MoreI have spoken at length about my love-hate relationship with jumpsuits. I think what I love most about them is how they look…on other people. I have this fantasy in my mind about how I think they will look on me. And what tends to happen is that I will purchase or make a jumpsuit and then put it on and be instantly disappointed in how it looks. That said, when I saw this Mimi G pattern I said, maybe this is the one that’s going to look amazing on me.
Read MoreWe treat ourselves with rice (my husband’s favorite) or noodle (my favorite) dishes on Saturday nights. So when it was my turn to pick, I looked in my trusty Pinterest recipe board for some inspiration and found this gem.
Read MoreI couldn’t tell you what rabbit hole I fell down to come across this recipe. But once I stumbled upon it, my eyes were opened to a treasure trove of recipes across the diaspora. My people really know how to flavor some food.
Read MoreTravis Bickle is a Vietnam vet turned night shift taxi driver, turned almost presidential candidate assassin, turned prostitute protector. He’s an insomniac with PTSD and poor social skills. He has an obsessive personality and really skewed ideas of what it means to be a hero.
Read MoreWhile prepping to celebrate Diwali with our family, I was looking for some new Indian recipes for dishes I could contribute, and came across this gem. When I say that this meal made all sections of my palette happy…
Read MoreSomewhere around 2016 or 2017 Aaron and I took a road trip to Rosarito, an area in Baja Mexico, with some friends. While there, we were approached by various vendors on the beach to purchase things like ponchos and blankets. I, while under the influence, took little convincing to purchase a poncho. (Please note, I still have that poncho and I always get compliments on it.) Anyway, Aaron isn’t easily swayed. So we came back across the border without having purchased a Baja jacket for him. But since then he’s been kinda obsessed with them.
Read MoreAaron has been making this recipe for what feels like ages at this point. And when I realized that I’d never shared it with the world, I put it on the top of my list. Please note, we got it from Emeril and didn’t write it ourselves. Maybe you all can enjoy it for Mardis Gras. Bon temps roulet!
Read MoreEvery year (sometimes twice a year) I go through my fabric stash and try to clear out as much clutter as I can. When I come across small cuts of fabric that I can’t seem to part with, I try to find a creative way to use them. So when I found about two yards of these two fabrics, I thought they’d both work for a top. But I didn’t quite have enough of either to finish most of the patterns that I had. But then the engineering part of my brain clicked on, and I realized that if I used both fabrics in one reversible shirt, I wouldn’t have to worry about the extra fabric that I would need for, say, facing pieces.
Read MoreThis is yet another recipe created by Kevin Bledsoe for his book, Bludso’s BBQ Cookbook. I’ve altered it some because the first time I made it was a bit too salty. Like, it was good, don’t get me wrong. But I could feel my blood pressure rising with every spoonful.
Read MoreThe adaptation of books into films can go sideways hard and fast. But in this case, I think the film version of this story is a beautiful compliment to the story that James Baldwin was telling with his novel.
Read MoreWhile going through our cookbooks I came across several booklets that came along with our appliances, and in the booklets were suggested recipes. In the one for our InstaPot, there was a recipe for coconut fish curry. I decided to zjuzj it up with several different spices and landed upon this recipe here.
Read MoreLast year when I was working with Phil Boutte, I’d often come home and tell Aaron about his bomb ‘fits. So Aaron started following him and saw that some of his clothes come from Japanese clothing line, Prospective Flow.

Read MoreI’ve always been an avid reader and in recent years have been a part of a book club that has helped keep me motivated and reading books I might not otherwise choose to read. I’m so thankful for my fellow worms for picking some really great reads this year. In addition to the books we’ve chosen in our group, I’ve also read some metaphysical, spiritual and self-help books. It’s been a doozy of a year, so I’ll take all the help I can get.
Read MorePrior to taking a dive into the work of Cindy Evans, I had only heard of the movie Temple Grandin. I didn’t have any particular desire to watch it, and didn’t even know what it was about really. But after watching it and then falling into a rabbit hole of research about the amazing woman that this story focuses on, I was kind of obsessed.
