We had some fun at Joey’s expense the other night:

Then exploited him on the Internet: stuffonmycat.com

During my first prenatal appointment my doctor strongly advised me NOT to read any pregnancy related books. Sound advice, but at that point I already had one book in my possession, a used book that a good friend of mine gave me shortly after I found out. M and I only read the pages on [...]

I know that it’s stupid to cry over a turkey.

But I’m going to cry anyway.

Like last year, I opted to only cook a 5lb breast. Unlike last year, this breast was boneless.

I thawed it according to the directions, brined it, threw it in [...]

I’m so happy that it’s Thanksgiving — I love Turkey Day! M and I are celebrating at our home in Oakland where the temperature has dropped down to the 30′s at night. Yes, it’s cold, and we miss our families back East, but we’re making the best of it. We have so much to be [...]

M and I were killing some time in between my prenatal and ultrasound appointments last Monday so we popped by one of our favorite vista points in the city, Twin Peaks. We used to live near these hills and I miss them terribly. The first shot of me is the usual side view, second is [...]
