(left to right: Mcghee, Charlotte, me, Clauwey)
I am so happy to say that I am getting together with my ladies today for an early celebration of Clauwey’s birthday, so I thought I would show a little love for the ladies and put them on the blog. We met our freshman year (and, in the case [...]

I know, I know. Another Recipe. But if you’re in the mood, make this!
Jo Ellen gave Drew an awesome cookbook signed by the author as a graduation gift. It’s The Encyclopedia of Cajun and Creole Cuisine by John Folse, and an encyclopedia it is. At 852 pages and 9.5 lbs, I imagine that we will be trying new recipes, and soon to be old favorites out of this [...]

Mr. President.

I admit that I was surprisingly cool as a cucumber during the inauguration ceremonies yesterday. I think that I was excited, and above all, I feel extremely ready for this new president and this new administration. This morning though, I woke up and clicked on NPR and heared the [...]

Animal love is kinda the best love.
Ok, so if you know Drew and I, you know that we are somewhat worthless when it comes to our animals. We love them, we personify them to fill our need/assumption that they love us and barring a few incidents, it’s nothing but a big old happy, shedding family in the Walton household (that’s the [...]

It’s still so cold outside, let’s talk chili
Drew and I came across this chili recipe in Bon Apetit this past Fall (photo above) and promptly made it for our pumpkin carving party and then again for ourselves, and Mom has made it for company a couple of times, and the universal agreement is that this is some pretty daggone good chili. It [...]

Playing Ketchup.
It’s Thursday, but it might as well be Monday all over again! I came down with some kind of malicious stomach bug at the beginning of the week and now it feels like the end of the week and I have a lot of catch up to do. On the bright side, some [...]

I am busy getting the new site to launch so I only have a quick moment, but a friend sent this to me and I had to share. Happy Monday!

Thursday
What’s that up there? Sunshine? Temperatures out to the 40s? How very strange. I don’t have a lot to offer today because there’s a lot going on (funny how that works) but I thought that after yesterday’s gloomy photo, the least I could do is step outside and snap a picture of this most beautiful [...]

Fire.
Today feels like something out of the 100 acre Woods, although dreary, there’s a whimsical side to all this dreary rain and cold. There must be. I saw this fire burning yesterday and thought the smoke looked so thick and blanket-like, as if the smoke itself were warm and inviting against the endless fog that [...]

Back from the BR!
Well, it goes without saying that it was a wonderful trip. We stayed with Jo Ellen in what Drew and I affectionately refer to as our Southern Plantation Home, also known as the Kappa House where Jo is the house mother for the Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter at LSU. We spent New Year’s in Baton [...]
