Love Feast Fest!

By Kristin on May 15, 2009 3 Comments

I'm sitting here sipping my steamy hot Americano and nibbling (against my better judgment) on a Baked brownie. It is the first time in over a week I've had a chance to blog. I have to tell you, my mind is so full! There is so much to share and so many stories to write about. You see, this past week, my husband and I decided to let our lives be interrupted by an entire wedding party! For three years, we had a young man named Marc live in our home and he became a big brother to our kids. He was the boyfriend of (now … [Read more...]

No Coffee Blues And Blogging

By Chris Ann on April 16, 2009 7 Comments

Ok, so the morning starts like this. I wake up and the bus will be here in like 15 minutes and none of the tweens, hidden under their covers have breathed a breath of fresh air yet. I go down stairs in my plum colored cashmere robe, that I got for a steal let me tell you, and is suppose to make me feel glamorous in the morning and is not, and began to make my coffee. I fill the pot at the tiny stream from my fridge, because I am convinced that my city water is trying to kill me. This tiny stream irritates me every … [Read more...]

The Cove

By Chris Ann on April 7, 2009 1 Comment

Sometimes you just want to eat a burger. Eating a burger at The Cove, is like eating at your older brother’s apartment; your older brother that was into records, fishing, hunting, and skateboarding. The Cove has a relaxed hang-out type vibe where you can be comfortable, kickback, and hang with some friends. That is what “Good Vibe Ambassadors” and brothers, Bruce and Brock Larson, are trying to do with their burger joint. The menu is simple and inexpensive pub food. The hamburgers and hot dogs are served in basket with good … [Read more...]

My sister-n-law, Kim, who I think will forgive me for sneaking a look into the cookbook Baked: New Frontiers in Baking, that gave I her as a gift, has read the cookbook cover to cover. She also has agreed to submit to a lie detector test has agreed to an interview. Kim is in the beginning stages of launching her own baking company. Let's see where she gets her inspiration! What is your favorite food memory? Um, learning to make chocolate chip cookies in 4-H. We had to measure all the ingredients into butter dishes. … [Read more...]

Jamie Oliver and other British Wonders

By Kristin on December 30, 2008 5 Comments

My brother married a wonderful English lass! She's creative, beautiful and in touch with our slight obsession for all things food. Every year, we exchange names amongst the siblings and their spouses. This year my brother had my name. But, as my (newly added) sister in law discovered, it is still the wife's job to round out the gifts (and sign all the Christmas cards!). So, I opened a beautiful scarf from Scotland that my brother had chosen all by himself. He really nailed it! It's gorgeous! The next two gifts … [Read more...]

New Year Mantra

By Chris Ann on December 18, 2008 4 Comments

The humor will come. That's what I keep telling myself.... There are certain bloggers out there that are witty and clever. Very witty and clever. And I'm happy for them. Really. It's just that-- do they have four to five kids, dishes to do, shoes to pick up, piles of laundry, cakes to bake, beds to make, school parties to attend, baths to be drawn and so on? I think not! I think these clever witty food bloggers are lounging around in their pjs today, sipping tea, and reforming their paragraphs at leisure, … [Read more...]

Cookbook Events for Wanna Be Foodbloggers

By Chris Ann on September 11, 2008 1 Comment

We couldn't believe our good fortune. We had invented our self proclaimed jobs: food bloggers and cookbook writers and had decided we were big. At least, big in our own minds. So, bolstered by our gusto, guts, and the need to quite frankly, just get out of the house, we were going to do this thing. We had psyched ourselves up, convinced our husbands (it didn't take long, we're a force to be reckoned with), and told our kids (mommies can't be quitters)--there would be no turning back now, be it, rain, floods, … [Read more...]
