Derika celebrated her birthday a couple of weeks ago, so I can finally post this DIY Sunglass Holder that I made for her. I don’t know if you remember, but Derika and I went a little sunglass crazy when we were on our Cape Cod trip. I am sure that some of you are wondering why it is necessary to have more than one pair of brightly colored sunglasses. I feel that you can never have too many sunglasses… Read more »
I am back and I am sorry for my absence! I have been having a little bit of technical difficulties with my trusty MacBook. The track pad decided to have a mind of it’s own, and it made it almost impossible to do anything. The track pad kept trying to send random emails to everyone that I know, and it constantly changed the size of the images on my computer screen…super annoying! Let’s just say that I could not get… Read more »
Ahhhhh, Santorini…I can’t think about you and not want to go back! I also crave a glass of chilled white wine and a warm bowl of fava dip, whenever you enter my mind. Santorini is famous, food-wise, for a few things: yellow split peas, tomatoes, and wine to name a few. The white wine grapes are called Assyrtiko, and you can see them growing all over the island. The most common way to prepare yellow split peas is a dish called… Read more »
Yup, I went there…I made homemade Sriracha that you will want to put on ALL of the things. I will be the first to admit it that I have a hot sauce addiction. I currently have 10 hot sauces hanging out in my fridge, and I welcome anyone that wants to share their favorites with me. My current favorite hot sauces are Cholula and Gringo Bandito, but I have a large place in my heart for the almighty Sriracha. I… Read more »
Oh my god, it is basilpalooza at the farmers market and I am in love! I am obsessed with basil and I wish that it were available in this quantity all of the time. Since it is not I have to find a way to capture this magical summer gift, so that I can enjoy it year round. This is where the 5-minute pesto comes in. I can’t stand to see the basil that I buy go bad, but there… Read more »
Derika and I just returned from an amazing vacation in Santorini. We went for 10 days to celebrate our 10-year anniversary and our 3-year wedding anniversary. I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone…10 Years! Santorini has been on both of our bucket lists for over 10 years now and I can tell you that it was worth the wait. We decided instead of island hopping that we would just relax and spend the whole time in Santorini. I… Read more »
Derika and I have been living in NYC for 10 months now and I can’t believe it…where has the time gone!? We just realized this the other day, as we were sipping a Manhattan, which has become our drink of choice since we have moved here. There is something so entertaining to me to be able to order a Manhattan in Manhattan, and it is so surprising how different one person’s version can be from the next. While we were discussing our favorite… Read more »
I am currently in the process of packing for our 10-year anniversary trip to Santorini, Greece! I can’t believe that a trip that we have been talking about for so long is finally here. I also can’t believe that Derika and I are getting ready to celebrate our 10 year anniversary AND our 3 year wedding anniversary! Where has the time gone!? As I have been running round like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get organized for the trip,… Read more »
To say that I have a small addiction to chips and salsa is an understatement. I could probably eat chips and salsa every day if I had the chance. Heck, I made Derika take me out for Mexican food on both Friday and Saturday last weekend…I seriously have a problem. Last week Tuesday, my friend Erin reached out to me to see if I might like to grab a tasty beverage or dinner. It occurred to me that it… Read more »
So the heat continues and I am still not complaining after the winter that we had, I am just getting more creative with how to not use the oven on the sweatiest of days. We have also officially opened up the Double D Bistro and we are now taking reservations. 🙂 We are lucky that the windows of our apartment overlook a quiet street and a courtyard. We open the windows and slide our bar stools up… Read more »
