My mother and I were craving chowder one summer evening. When we came across this recipe, we knew we needed to make it. Noticing that Lobster was in season and there was a sale at our local market, we did not hesitate. We were also avid fans of the Barefoot Contessa so, we knew that this […]

Quirky Home: How to Iron Like a Pro

Depending on your personality, ironing is either a relaxing task or annoying chore. I’m the kind of person who thinks that if you’re going to do something you might as well do it right, so even though I tend to be of the later opinion on the subject I’ve taken the time to learn some […]

Pet Quirk: The breeds some people still won’t accept and why that needs to change!

Pit bull terriers, the breed some people love to hate.

DIY Dipped Shell Necklace by I Still Love You

With summer coming to an end, I have racked up an impressive collection of shells that I now have no idea what to do with. I always want to collect them while I’m at the beach and then feel compelled to save them once I get home for some unknown future project after going through […]

Sweet Lemon Tart by Court & Hudson

Summer is drawing to an end, but I could not resist featuring one more deliciously summery recipe. This Sweet Lemon Tart Recipe by Court & Hudson was just too good to pass up.

An Open Letter to British Television

An Open Letter to British Television

Even worse, why do you parade out such a ridiculously handsome smorgasbord of men and then make their characters so incredibly attractive, flaws and all? Aiden Turner’s Mitchell was the first vampire I ever fell for … Not to mention that whoever came up with casting Benedict Cumberbatch, with his ethereal sharp features and the voice and the eyes and the height and the everything, as Sherlock should be both knighted and then shot for what he’s done to women everywhere.
