Comments on the day

Massage Was pure bliss. Loved it. It’s located in a resort here, nestled among the smoky mountains. We should rent a cabin there. Oh wait, there’s this whole house in the mountains I live in. haha. Back to the massage – I left feeling so refreshed and relaxed! But I do feel like my morning [...]

Energizer Tomatoes

Will these tomato plants ever quit? Apparently not. It’s now October, and my plants are still producing tomatoes like a little factory. They don’t grow quite as big anymore, and tend to be holey if I let them vine ripen, so I’ve been picking them green and bringing them in the kitchen to ripen. I [...]

2nd half of 2010 starts now!

Who can believe it’s already July!?! The dogs and I will be spending the 4th of July weekend in Nashville, so today’s to-do list is fairly lengthy; lots of things must be done before we can head out of town! However, with the heat outside (even if it’s cooler than the last few weeks), all [...]

A post-novocaine afternoon to relax

Got back from yet another trip to the dentist. 3 shots of novocaine and 4 fillings later…. I am so numb it’s not funny. Well, actually it is humorous. I drove home from the dentist, attempting to sing along with Queen and Bon Jovi on the radio, but was frustrated with my lack of mouth [...]

Fillings and Tendrils

Hi there! My day at work went by pretty quickly and then it was off to the dentist for my fillings! We opted to just do one filling today, and the other 3 next week. This way I only had to leave with one side of my face drooping. I can’t imagine what it would [...]

Surprise! It’s June!

How is it already June!? I had some trouble today writing 06/01/10 on my notes today but eventually caught on. This time last year I was just 2 weeks away from graduating from my dietetic internship, madly searching for jobs and trying to figure out what I was going to do with myself after my [...]

I am happy to report that:

I finished off my brownies that I baked last Thursday. Yes, that means the brownies lasted a full week. Maybe the pre-portioned method of baking in muffin tins was smart after all :) I got caught up on patients today. Between a patient who reportedly can only eat 5 foods (hamburger, pork, oats, grits, rice) [...]

Hey from nashville!

Hi Readers, Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I’m in Nashville this week for The Boy’s birthday celebrations. Finished my second week of work, and got my first real paycheck! Don’t have time to blog much, will try to catch up when I get back to the farm. And no, still don’t have anything [...]

Cooking for Nashville’s Foodies

It has been such a long time since I’ve written! I do apologize for that. Things have been crazy as ever. I miss writing here though, so hopefully I can get back into the swing of things. I’ve definitely noticed in the recent past from all my blog-reading (I somehow still find time for that!) [...]

Kicking off the New Year

Happy New Year readers! I made it back to Nashville safely; the drive back from Houston was pretty painless with no traffic, bad weather or detours. I left at 6am, picked up my Starbucks grande mocha, and drove straight through, stopping only for gas or rest stops. And… thanks to the greatness that is my [...]
