In which his mom freaked out and sent us a ton of stuff! Four gifts each, eight total, more than doubling what we had under our little tree for each other! Before: And after: I got an electric hand mixer! And a bath caddy! And other fun stuff! And he got clothes and toys! And […]
In which there are leftovers. I made aloo matar, carrot raita, and naan for dinner. Even though I halved the naan recipe I still have four or five leftover, so have been surfing for ways to use them. Behold these fancy pizza ideas: – Naan, olives, pesto, red pepper flakes, grilled artichokes, walnuts, chopped parsley, […]
In which Christmas is in two weeks and I finally put up the tree! How is it Christmas in two weeks?! What the fuck, time. Of course, in Minnesota we’d have already lived through two blizzards and weeks of sub-zero temperatures, so the lack of brutal weather makes it sorta feel like it’s earlier in […]

In which THIS IS THE WEEK the washer and dryer come!!! My favorite aunt bought us a washer and dryer. We ordered them back in October, but they had to be shipped in, I guess, and we had to wait a couple months for delivery. They’re due ON TUESDAY, and they’ll go in this very […]
In which it’s perfect and I love it so much! We got a kitchen table (from an old BMI co-worker of mine, who offered it via Instagram when I posted we’d gotten this house to rent and needed furniture — thanks, Mike!) and it’s in the kitchen now and it’s exactly the right size and […]
