It’s freezing. Like literally. I tried to go out for a long long run this morning and I ended up cutting it to a medium long run, because 5 miles in my legs were so frozen that they weren’t moving. No good. So for the rest of the day, I’ve been cocooning in the house. [...]

This weekend was the seventh edition of the Ratskellar Holiday Party, our big annual celebration of the holidays, good cheer, and friends. It’s hard to believe that we’ve lived in this house long enough to have SEVEN holiday parties here. How did that happen? It feels like yesterday that we–committed uptown Baltimore people–moved to Southeast. [...]

Guess where I went this weekend? New York City. A place I love to visit, and thanks to some very sweet friends who let us crash with them in Brooklyn, we got to experience for a lot less and with a different experience. There were a lot of really amazing things during this trip–from seeing [...]

Happy National Bundt Day! The one day each year when we celebrate the beauty that is the bundt cake–a classic, simple form that’s so pretty it doesn’t even need icing! Since I’m not the biggest icing fan in the world (I know, I know, I love to make big fancy cakes, but I don’t always [...]
