Digging, Watching, Reading

By jesser | Published: 4:24 pm

What I'm Digging I picked up a big box of Tasty Bite brand Madras Lentils from Costco a while back after having a very tasty sample. It's basically lentil soup in an airtight pouch that does not even need refrigeration – reheating is optional as well, though recommended. The ingredient list is short (and entirely [...]

What I've Been Up To

By jesser | Published: 2:24 pm

You may not even have noticed, because I don't think too many people read this anymore, but I've been a bit absent. My excuses in no particular order: • Chasing my darling, sweet and sometimes infinitely challenging offspring. • Training for that darned half-marathon. • Perfecting the feathered flip (ala Farrah Fawcett). • Not taking [...]

Feelin' Good Links

By jesser | Published: 11:11 am

I am in an excellent mood, despite the fact that I'm on hold with Sprint. Again. It's pretty much the end of my week and I have a good, busy day ahead, I have good plans for the evening (girls night out) and practically NO plans for the weekend. Anyhoo, while I am so indisposed, [...]

Well here we are; almost a year has passed since Ben arrived on the scene, cute, cuddly and hungry. The past month has been an interesting one. I have felt like is on the verge of walking for a month now and still, no dice. He is great at balance and can stand in the [...]

What's Cooking: Volume 8

By jesser | Published: 8:00 am

So one of the projects for this weekend was to clean out the pantry and freezer (I do the fridge pretty much weekly). Matt and I were both amazed how quickly we can now accomplish this. Partly it was because the kids were out of the house, but mostly, I think, because we have gotten [...]

Speed Limit 30 MPH

By jesser | Published: 8:32 am

Yowsa. That was one busy weekend. The only downside (besides having to work my arse off to work 40 hours in 4 days) to having my Fridays off that I can see is that our life is a bit more like college than you'd imagine: weekends start on Thursday evenings. Thursday: work all day, come [...]

What's Cooking: Volume 7

By jesser | Published: 8:24 am

It's another funky week (wonder when it will be a normal one?). Owing to being out of town (and Matt going skiing on Monday instead of coming home with us) and not being able to do grocery shopping over the weekend, I did little or no meal-planning. Monday night, exhausted from our trip and getting [...]

Checkin In

By jesser | Published: 8:28 pm

I am exhausted. We left right after work on Thursday and spent an amazing weekend in Vail. I really loved and appreciated the break. I have been working so hard and it was nice to do a few things with Matt and the kids and my family that weren't rushed. We loved skiing (gorgeous day [...]

The Latest and Greatest

By jesser | Published: 1:11 pm

What I'm Digging I am looking forward to summer!!! I get a catalog from Athleta or Title 9 on a weekly basis (or so it seems) and I'm drooling over the cute/sporty sundresses. The clothing aisles at Target are drool-worth too. I am also perusing the Seed Savers catalog. I really doubt I'll have time [...]
