Italian

January and February have been such busy months. We've almost been out of town more than we've been in town, which is really rare for us. Luckily they've all mostly been fun trips, but regardless, they still get you out of routine, change your pace of life, and overall make things feel a bit unsettled. Since January 1st, Archie and I together have been gone for four trips, and Archie...
I'm mostly posting this recipe because my mother's been begging for it...And I'm a slacker....And I have good intentions... I really do! But then I've been getting home from work exhausted, force myself out for a run, make dinner and crash! So, sorry mom! I'll do better this time. I promise! :) I made this with her when she came for a visit for 24 hours back in November. She...
If you haven't gotten the hint already, we did ALOT on our trip. We didn't do a ton of relaxing, there was way too much to see. So, keeping with the theme - we headed out of Sorrento the next morning and headed to Pompeii.Day 6 - Leave Sorrento, Spend a few hours in Pompeii, Travel to Florence. We arrived in Pompeii and spent about 2 hours there. Pompeii is...
Welcome back! Hope you enjoyed the quick tour of Rome yesterday. We have a tiny bit more of Rome left, then on to the Amalfi Coast! Breathtaking I tell ya! Day 3 - Rome - travel to Amalfi Coast -- Sorento. The next morning, we headed back over to the Pantheon. We wanted to see it in the daytime, and we wanted to go inside. It was really pretty cool....
Buona Sera, I know it's been a while. We are officially back from Italy, although my body still feels like it might be there. Jet lag, combined with 25 straight hours of travel on the way home (after only 5 hours sleep the night before), and going straight back to work the next day does not a happy body make! Sorry it's taken me a while to get any updates...
I'm dreaming of Italy.... (via) Cinque Terre, the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, so many wonderful things to see and do... (via) A cooking class, taxi rides in boats, hiking, reading, shopping, eating..... lots and lots of eating.... As the trip is getting closer (just a month away!!!), I'm getting so excited. Anyone been? Have any good recommendations of must see places or eats? In anticipation, Archie and I spent a few...
A Few Random Facts: - I read books at unreasonably ridiculous speed. What I mean is, I will usually read a book in about a day to a day and a half. I don't want to do anything else but read the book. - My new iPhone has taken such ridiculous reading to new levels. I can read everywhere: the grocery store, the bathroom, red lights (I've NEVER done that....)...

I'm super tired from unloading boxes, setting up stuff exactly where we want it, and then rearranging it, because we realize that's not the spot that makes the most...
I have a confession...It's not a big deal really...But it's kind of sad...I cheat when I'm having people over/entertaining and I need a good meal...I have a "go to" meal.I know this is probably common, but when you're supposed to be good at cooking, you shouldn't have to rely on "go to meals". So just be forewarned, don't come to my house for dinner twice, because I don't know what...
