I just looked at my credit card balance.
Holy hell. I really need to stop shopping. I have been going a little crazy buying this for my house. I think I need to start pacing my purchases.

Brussel sprouts.
I have had a weird craving for brussel sprouts lately. I picked some up on Sunday at the farmer’s market and cooked them for dinner tonight.
Sauteed with garlic, shallots and bacon, they were amazing. I could have skipped the grilled chicken I made with them and ate just the brussel sprouts.

I didn’t feel like I was getting sick.
I didn’t get home from SD/LA/SF at 6am this morning.

I had some good food in my pantry/fridge.

Off again! San Diego, here I come.
Off to San Diego tomorrow for CTIA IT & Entertainment. I feel like I just got home. Oh wait, I did!
I am looking forward to SD. It’s been well over a year since I have been there. My last trip was…100% opposite of this one, but it did introduce me to west coast beaches and In-N-Out Burger.
I am looking forward to exploring the city a little more in the limited amount of free time...

Sauvignon Blanc Suggestions. →
“Gooseberries and cat pee have their place, but sometimes these typical characteristics of stainless steel-tanked California and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wear thin.
As a result, some winemakers have turned to resourceful solutions, including barrel-aging and fermenting grapes with their skins (a practice typically reserved for red wine).
To rekindle your love affair with the grassy...

Going Solo - Cooking for One. →
“It’s fun to cook for a crowd. But when Americans eat at home alone, many of us—the folks at Tasting Table included—tend to fall into the same bowl of cereal trap.
Judith Jones wants to free us from that trap. The esteemed author and editor of Julia Child, James Beard, Jacques Pépin (and many other culinary legends) says our cup-o-ramen is keeping us from a liberating...

Chilly Chi-town.
My work event ended early today. Rain and chilly weather is not great for street teams.
I wish I knew some people in Chicago since I have the whole night free! I see room service in the very near future.
