Lemony Spaghetti
LEMONY SPAGHETTI!!! You heard me right. It’s the better name for spaghetti al limone because it makes me feel like a kid and I just like it better. I remember when I made this for the first time I told Dave we were making lemony spaghetti and he made fun of me and said that’s not a thing. I couldn’t remember the real name and I couldn’t convince him otherwise. He made fun of me through most of the process and had to eat his words when this dish blew his god damned mind. This shit is delicious. It’s addictive. And unlike many pasta dishes that are heavy on cream…
Quarantine Date Night: Tea Party Edition
These days of quarantine have brought many challenges both big and small. I know we’re all going stir crazy and struggling to come up with new ways to spend our time at home (assuming you have that luxury). For my husband and I, the thing we miss most is date night. We used to go out for dinner and/or an activity every Friday night no matter what! We’re now coming up with ideas at home, the favorite so far being a tea party! This was super easy. I put together a makeshift set-up using pieces I had at home. All are vintage or old aside from the tiger plates. I’m…
Sally’s Apizza
Bucket List itme #347 – Eat @ Sally’s ApizzaNew Haven, Connecticut After a long day of classes at Yale University, what does a Yale student do to relax? Stand in line for some of the most delicious pizzas in the world, that’s what! Ok, I realize waiting in line for anything isn’t relaxing, but once you’re inside it’s absolutely worth the wait. When I first walked up to Sally’s Apizza, I couldn’t help but feel excited. The line to get inside was insane and it wasn’t even the dinner hour yet. It was in those hours between lunch and dinner when no one typically eats, yet the line was down…
The Easiest 20 Minute Hummus
When I set out to find the perfect hummus recipe, I had no idea it would take so much trial and error to come up with the right combination. I think Dave and I made hummus roughly 10 times before we decided on the best method. I mean, there are a lot of ways to do this! I think we cracked the code though. I present to you 20 minute hummus! Guys, this is so easy. Start to finish I say it’s actually 25 minutes, but 20 has a better ring. This is even using canned garbanzos, so the work is so minimal. Who knew in 20 minutes you could…
Visiting Yale University
Bucket list #417 – visit Yale New Haven, Connecticut I sincerely hope this blog about Yale helps you escape a little in this time of quarantine. It sure helps me to remember this cherished memory and makes me look forward to more adventures in the future. What can I say about my trip to Yale? I mean, it honestly checked all the boxes of my Rory Gilmore fantasy. It was a short list, but it included coffee cart coffee, architecture that was way too fancy for a school, students working busily in a library and people that generally looked way smarter than me. So, what did I do on campus?…
