2023

Wow! It's 2023. I know, it's like three months in and we just went through daylight savings time and resetting our clocks, so I'm a little behind. Obviously, I'm a bit late to this party. I don't know why I haven't been writing. I made this big post back in October of 2022 about how … Continue reading 2023 →

Ocho Semanas en Oaxaca: Episodio 4

There were a lot of tacos at the beginning of June. I was diagnosed with Covid on the 3rd, so then I didn't really go places except the taco stand up the street and the outdoor market in San Felipe in the second half of my little quarantine stint. But they were some damned good … Continue reading Ocho Semanas en Oaxaca: Episodio 4 →

Returning to Writng

Well, I took a pretty decent hiatus from writing. I think my last post was while I was in Mexico over the summer. Pretty sure I have a few drafts I need to finish from that period, but I thought I'd post a little note first. After returning to Chicago at the end of June, … Continue reading Returning to Writng →

Ocho Semanas en Oaxaca: Episodio 3

Well, when I finished episode 2, I had every intent of trying to post more frequently than this, but life sometimes gets in the way. As I mentioned in my prior post, I had some friends come visit for a few days. That was a very busy weekend and very fun, but from there, life … Continue reading Ocho Semanas en Oaxaca: Episodio 3 →

Ocho Semanas en Oaxaca: Episodio 2

Well, Sunday afternoons seem to be my blogging time these days. But I do have visitors coming the next couple of weekends, so that might postpone my writing a bit. It's been a pretty productive week. I did some shopping, some cooking, some exploring, and of course, some eating! I also did some work...but who … Continue reading Ocho Semanas en Oaxaca: Episodio 2 →

Ocho Semanas en Oaxaca: Episodio 1

Yep! I'm spending eight weeks in Oaxaca, Mexico. My friend who lives here is currently galivanting around Chicago for the summer, so I am subletting her place for a couple of months. It's one of the great advantages of working remote. I can work wherever I am, so currently, I am in Oaxaca. It was … Continue reading Ocho Semanas en Oaxaca: Episodio 1 →

Food Diary Week 105 (3/31-4/6/2022)

For the weekend, the husband and I decided to get away. We left on Thursday and returned Sunday evening. We got a cute little Airbnb in Douglas, Michigan, right off the town center. It was an amazing weekend. However, this meant I did not do any cooking. I have given him the parameters of either … Continue reading Food Diary Week 105 (3/31-4/6/2022) →

Food Diary Week 104 (3/24-3/30/2022)

At the end of March, I apparently wasn't totally feeling the cooking vibe and definitely didn't have a photo vibe. I have like three food pictures! But I did do a little cooking. This week, I experimented with some protein bars based off a recipe I found on NYT Cooking. I made a few changes, … Continue reading Food Diary Week 104 (3/24-3/30/2022) →

Food Diary Week 103 (3/17-3/23/2022)

Ya, I'm still trying to keep this diary up. I'm just a little behind. I'm sure like most bloggers, life sometimes gets in the way of writing. But I enjoy talking about my food adventures and no one has kicked me off the internet yet! Overall, it was a pretty good food week. I made … Continue reading Food Diary Week 103 (3/17-3/23/2022) →

Oaxaca Food

So, I'm sitting in Oaxaca. This is my second trip here and I realized I never posted a blog on my first trip. That's just neglect because it was an experience. There are beautiful works of art, historical architecture, historical ruins, and so many other things to enjoy here. But you know me. I was … Continue reading Oaxaca Food →
