I had never heard of Tana French, but the author endorsements on the book itself were from some of my favorite crime/suspense authors so I gave it a shot. Aaaand now I want to read all her other novels. The action in “The Secret Place” takes place at an Irish boarding school, where detectives have…

I am loving this short week! I do not have much to report from the long weekend. Friday and Saturday were fun, but once I got home around midnight on Saturday night, I didn’t leave the apartment until it was time for work on Tuesday. I admit, I loved hanging around in my comfy clothes,…

Over the weekend I had a few ingredients that had about one day left in em so I put them all in a dish in the hopes it would turn into something edible. It’s ended up being all the ingredients of a broccoli casserole without the binding agent. Since my binding agent is cream of…

Everybody loves a Juicy Lucy. Cheese is a MUST for a burger, but there’s no law that says it has to go on top. When it’s stuffed inside the burger, Juicy Lucy style, you get to have your cheese and get a surprise. I started by making some pimento cheese. Sorry, I refuse to give out my…

I may have had my fair share of wine last weekend, but it was all done in a low-key fashion (going no further than the place in my office building on Friday night and sitting on the couch, glass in hand, during the Super Bowl). I didn’t even leave my apartment on Saturday! It looks…

BBQ and fried chicken are two Southern staples. But what if we combined them? Doubly Southern and doubly awesome. This could easily be made with chicken, but turkey cutlets were in the house so that’s what I made. Fill a large ziploc bag with panko bread crumbs and a bowl with your favorite bbq sauce. (I used…

The Dish: I’m a goofball and will often break into weird accents, especially if I’m hanging around my best friend, Matt. That’s why the the scene when Harry and Sally are chatting in the Met is one of the most endearing to me. They are so comfortable with each other that they can talk like…
