Cardamom Horchata ~ Savory Simple

Every Christmas (with the exception of last year) Jeff and I travel to Tucson, Arizona for the holidays. Most of his immediate family lives there and over the past 6 1/2 years I have really grown to love Tucson like it’s my second home. Spending time there in December means I can slip back into my Spring/Fall wardrobe and enjoy used bookstores, funky coffee shops, family time and copious amounts of authentic Mexican food.

It was in Tucson that I first tried horchata. [Read more...]

Tell me your life in 15 songs- Part Two (read Part One)

The main reason I split this into more than one post was because I had to prepare myself to share the next songs. I hate to sound melodramatic but it kind of freaks me out to tell these stories. People can be very judgmental and I’m not great at putting it all out there. Like I said in my last post, I didn’t even intend to share these stories when I began compiling my favorite songs. I just began writing and it happened. I almost hit delete so many times but I’m rolling with it. In its own way this is cathartic.

Boozy Peaches and Cream Milkshake ~ Savory Simple

You ever just have one of those days?  I know you have. Where it feels like everything is going wrong. Friday was one of those days for me.  A 30 minute meeting turned into 5 hours.  I didn’t get a chance to run all of my errands.   My oven broke.  MY OVEN BROKE.  This might be the first time I’ve missed apartment living.  Where’s maintenance???  We have to fix this crap?  Crap.

There’s only one thing to do on a day like this: ice cream.  Make that two things: ice cream and alcohol. This drink is like a party in your mouth, and it takes the edge off those days.  Bottoms up!
