It's sad in Texas lately, and by sad, I mean cloudy. Seriously. How do people live without the sun? Granted, we have over 300 sunny days per year, but still. Usually if it's cloudy it'll be sunny in a few hours. Lately, it's just been cloudy. All. Day. Long. A little melodramatic? Maybe.

I love days off.
It's warmer here today, which definitely earns El Paso some cool points. I was freezing my poor butt off! My house is no longer -1783 degrees. Eh, I still love running in the cold...

We try to plan to go every other week, on the non payday weekends since it's less busy. It was pretty busy today, but there's a four-day … Continue reading Gettin’ busy in the kitchen

It has been cooler at night. In fact, I'm using three thin blankets now instead of just the sheet … Continue reading The season of good.

>New summer food ideas
>Last week when I went to the store, I filled up about half of my cart with produce. I should have thought through my week to realize that I wouldn't be home a whole lot to cook, but thankfully most of it was still good today.I had two bananas that were very very ripe and … Continue reading >New summer food ideas
