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 is the story of our perfect Fourth of July dessert. Or rather, it’s almost a non-story. Shockingly, I didn’t put a ton of time or energy into planning every single meal for the Fourth weekend beforehand. Yeah, I’m usually sort of a planner. But since we had 11 house guests at the beach this [...]

You all know I have a tendency to get a little bit excited about local produce. Maybe sometimes too excited. Like last weekend.

So where were we? Oh yeah, I had a cake to share with you! After a major furniture rearrange in our rental house and the better part of a day, we had one beautiful cake. It’s amazing what 18 sticks of butter and 7 pounds of powdered sugar can turn a humble blueberry cake into! [...]

So you all know I went to Maine for my summer vacation (as evidenced by the lobster sightings) but I don’t know if I ever told you why. They’re why. They are Ryan and Eli. Ryan is one of Noel’s oldest friends. Eli is his rockin fiancee wife. And they were getting married, at Eli’s [...]

On this past cloudy Saturday, Noel and I had a little adventure. We headed west out of the city into the green Howard County farmlands. Our destination–Larriland Farms, my favorite pick your own spot. Although Larriland is just 22 miles outside of Baltimore, it feels like a different world out there. I had only ever [...]
