We have a new oven! As it turns out, it’s not on the short list I talked about a couple of months ago. But let’s back up a little so I can explain everything. The first oven we had in the apartment came with it and was chosen by the builder. Needless to say, it… CONTINUE READING →
There’s another very important soccer game today (the last one of the season!) and I’m running around like crazy trying to finish some stuff before we head out right after lunch. We’ll be preparing tortilla to eat during half time (it’s a tradition here) and I’ll probably bake something if I have the time, too. These… CONTINUE READING →
The other day when I talked about how we were going to serve the food I completely neglected the drinks. One problem we have is that we don’t know how much booze to buy, but hopefully we’ll be able to buy everything from a place that lets you return unopened bottles. Having said that, our… CONTINUE READING →
You might remember that one of our goals for 2012 was to buy a new oven, since it turns itself off (and doesn’t turn on again) after 30ish minutes, and one of the programs (the one I use the most for baking) doesn’t work. Well, a couple of weeks ago, our 2.5 year old dishwasher… CONTINUE READING →
Until a few weeks ago, I didn’t have a normal sized cupcake/muffin pan. I usually make them in mini sizes because they’re easier to eat (and they’re good for portion control!) but I also had a lot of cupcake liners I had to put to use. And sometimes you just need to eat a normal-sized… CONTINUE READING →
I’m still trying to sort out our plane tickets to the US (Air France has a very deceiving young adult fare that I’m very angry about and it’s making me think twice about traveling with them in the future, especially given the way they’ve treated me over the phone) so I thought I’d talk about… CONTINUE READING →
Hey everyone! I’m busy with work this week but I wanted to share a quick update we added to one of our closet doors, the one in the hallway that holds all our coats, my handbags, reusable cloth bags, and the shoes we use most often. Up until now, my handbag was dropped on the… CONTINUE READING →
This is definitely not a traditional pizza dough, but it’s actually quite good – the best thin crust pizza I’ve ever had at home! I’m still looking for the perfect recipe, but in the meantime, this is definitely awesome. It takes almost no time to make and since you don’t need instant yeast (it uses… CONTINUE READING →
The hardest part about self-catering our wedding is definitely having to consider all the logistics involved. For example, not only do we have to take care of tables and chairs (check!), tablecloths and napkins (not yet!), place settings (we still need a couple of things) but we also need to think about how we are… CONTINUE READING →
I’m switching servers this week so things might be a little wonky around here, hopefully everything will run smoothly! I’m done with the trunk for the body outdoor cushions! It’s so big it could fit one or two people… don’t worry, I don’t think we’ll ever need it for that. I wish I had a… CONTINUE READING →
