Quote of the Week

I hope you’re having a wonderful last-week-of-February. I, for one, could not be more excited about the new season of House of Cards coming out on Friday! I’m going to be enjoying it from the heart of the show, Washington DC! I’m so pumpedddd.

Also, congratulations to the winner of my recent “Kitchen Gadget Giveaway,” Jess Burns! Thanks to everyone who entered (there were over 150 entries!) and to everyone who took the time to vote for me for Best of Charleston!

Enjoy your week and this wonderful quote from Erma Bombeck who always keeps me laughing.

“I am not a glutton. I am an explorer of food.”
–Erma Bombeck

At least, that’s what I’m telling myself.

So. Yesterday was kind of a big fat giant deal for me. I closed on my first house!! I’m officially a homeowner! Yeah! So this week’s quote is short because I have about a million things I need to do.

I love all of you people!

“There are times when wisdom cannot be found in the chambers of parliament or the halls of academia but at the unpretentious setting of the kitchen table.”
–E.A. Bucchianeri

And yes, that is my ACTUAL kitchen 🙂

So, it’s almost Valentine’s Day, and for some reason, I decided to try this whole “paleo” thing. No idea why. I think I’m brain damaged. I’m on day 3 and it’s actually going better than I expected it to. The only real issue I have to report is that I almost started crying when my boss brought in a cheeseburger and french fries for lunch. The smell alone…

But I digress. Here’s this week’s quote. It’s all about love and stuff. Enjoy!

“Love and sausage are alike. Can never have enough of either.”
— Trixie Koontz

Get your mind out of the gutter.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I know I’ve been a bit slack in posting lately, but I’ve made it a goal of mine to post more often on my blog in 2015. I’m going to start some new segments, bring back some old segments, and just generally write more. Starting today!

This week’s quote (and the first quote of 2015) comes from fashion icon and Coco Chanel rival Elsa Schiaparelli, and I think it really gets 2015 off to a great start. Cheers!

“Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.”
— Elsa Schiaparelli

 

I mean, you can’t argue with that.

Halloweekend is here! I’m celebrating with 2 different costumes, in addition to the Hocus Pocus costumes we did earlier this month. I can’t wait to post pictures for you guys!

What are you dressing up as?

“I only eat candy on Halloween. No lie.”
–Michael Trevino
