Gracie’s Home

By Erin | Published: July 21, 2010
I have my cat back. She’s got a urinary tract infection, which means I get to shove a pill down her throat twice a day. She loves that. But, it’s just so good to have her home. I just talk to her in silly voices and kiss her fluffy neck and tell her how much [...]

Dinner Party

By Erin | Published: July 16, 2010
Last night was our pod dinner party, summer edition. I spent all day preparing for it, cleaning the house, shopping for the food, cooking. The menu: Appetizers: caprese salad (mozzarella with tomatoes and basil from our garden), crusty bread with roasted garlic, and yellow teardrop tomatoes from our garden. Main: Chicken with roasted garlic cream [...]

Year of Significance

By Erin | Published: May 4, 2010
On Sunday, I turned twenty-seven. Jesse calls twenty-seven “the year of significance” because seems like in movies something big always happens to the main character in his or her twenty-seventh year. Friday night, Jesse and I ate stir fry and then walked around the outdoor mall where all the rich people shop. I had birthday [...]

Wednesday

By Erin | Published: March 24, 2010
I thought today would be more stressful than it turned out to be. I started the day with an early morning wake-up time, before the sun was up (which, in my opinion, should never happen, but when I try to pull the “People were just not meant to be awake when it’s dark!” card, it [...]

Weekend

By Erin | Published: March 21, 2010
In the past few days, I have made: guacamole, a big pot of lentil soup with coconut milk, homemade naan, ghee (whee! cooking butter is fun, if also a little intimidating), a bit batch of egg salad for sandwiches. Dinner last night with B. and K. was lamb chops with a balsamic glaze; buttery, fall-apart-y [...]
