A drive to New Orleans isn’t complete without a plate of beignets. And a week at Mom’s house isn’t complete without a drive to New Orleans.

As Pictured Below: Felicidad verde

My little green bowls make me smile. Fill them with salsa verde from Trader Joe’s and I’m positively ecstatic.
As Pictured Below: Pump up the jam

The first CSA delivery of the season contained a ridiculously large basket of strawberries, so I needed a quick way to use a lot of them. I remember jam-making and jelly-making as a hot, time-consuming process, but I also remember my grandmother switching to the easier “freezer jam” method at some point, so I don’t [...]
As Pictured Below: Yang packs for a short trip

Yang heads to the vet tomorrow to have a small growth removed from the back of his neck. He’ll be 15 years old in about two weeks, so I would like to just leave it alone, but he keeps scratching it open. Eventually, it’s going to get infected. He’s a terrible rider, so the worst [...]
As Pictured Below: Robin or Tom?
Posted in As Pictured Below, Photographs, tagged As Pictured Below, Cheap Trick, concert, husband, postaday2011, Robin Zander, Tom Petterson on May 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Ah, the eternal question: Robin or Tom? Robin Zander is still working the rock-star look, especially with a light layer of chin stubble (which I can make note of only because the husband got us awesome front-row tickets earlier this month), but Tom Petersson is rocking some eclectic bass player style, complete with a black [...]
As Pictured Below: I’m on a cow
Posted in As Pictured Below, Family, tagged As Pictured Below, childhood, cows, farm, grandfather, postaday2011, Scancafe on April 12, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Just another day riding around on barnyard animals (avec supervision — if you look closely, you can see my grandfather’s boots below the cow’s belly as he hides from the camera). Best childhood ever? You tell me.
As Pictured Below: My brother, the original photobomber

Because once you get a little brother, you’ll never have your picture taken by yourself in your Easter finery again.
As Pictured Below: Spider-Man and his trusty sidesnake

Why is Spider-Man holding a snake, you might ask? Because the 1970s made NO SENSE, I would reply. Of all the things that we might do at the fair, my brother and I chose to sit on a bench with a guy dressed as Spider-Man holding a snake. Also note that while I had just [...]
