One of the great things about living downtown is the number of places to eat within walking distance. We’ve been doing a lot of walking lately, whether it’s to find a place to eat or to just get some exercise and fresh air. And this has resulted in both of us currently sitting on the…
life in the new apartment.
Oh, boy. Where to begin? Life has been a bit hectic in the new apartment. First of all, we’ve gone from a 400-square-foot studio to a 2-bedroom apartment. This probably isn’t a huge deal to most people, but as a slightly OCD neat-freak, this just means I have a lot more to clean! I’ve spent…
community supported agriculture. week 4.
We received our fourth basket of fresh from the farm veggies last week. Since we were in the process of moving (and still are), I didn’t take any photos of the full basket, so you’ll just have to imagine these foods for today. Sorry about that. Here’s what we got in our most recent basket:…
a quick update.
It’s been half a month since our last blog post! Goodness, gracious! We’ve been incredibly busy the past few weeks. We just moved into our new downtown apartment on Saturday and have spent most of this week trying to get organized. Everything is still a huge mess, so I’m afraid that photos of the new…
community supported agriculture. week 3.
I picked up our third CSA basket last evening, filled with lots of delicious well-known veggies, and a few (hopefully delicious) mysteries. Luckily, Three Springs Farm sends recipe suggestions for the lesser known foods, so I have a few serving ideas. Here’s what we’ll be eating this week: -sugar snap peas -purple and orange carrots…
city living.
Although I’m generally more a fan of the rural lifestyle, I was digging the city living today. This is good because we are about to move even further into downtown. So here are the top five things I like about city living: 1. Starbucks, the bank, and the grocery store are all within walking distance….
a little summer reading.
I’m a little behind on the blogging. My apologies go out first, and foremost, to Natalie Arant, our most loyal reader. This one’s for you, Natalie. Let’s jump back two Fridays. Originally, this is when Eric and I were going to Virginia to run our half-marathon. Unfortunately, due to Eric’s poor knees and an order…
community supported agriculture. week 2.
We picked up our second share of produce from Three Springs Farm yesterday. Our CSA share brings us a basket full of fresh food every other week. So far, some of the foods have been complete mysteries to me. Luckily, the farm sends out an e-mail with recipe ideas for the lesser known ingredients (anyone…
the rest of the weekend.
After the wedding festivities ended on Friday night, we had the rest of the weekend to do whatever we pleased. And since Monday was a holiday, we weren’t in a big rush to get home, so Eric and I wanted an adventure. I feel like we don’t really live spontaneously, as Eric and I are…
wedding festivities.
My plan was to write these posts each night while we were on our mini-vacation to Louisiana, but when you’re going to sleep late and waking up early, things never seem to go as planned. We headed to Baton Rouge for my friend Becca’s wedding on Wednesday. After spending the night with friends in Mississippi,…
the quest.
We began our journey to Louisiana on Wednesday. We learned a few lessons from our last trip to Baton Rouge: 1. Avoid running over things in the middle of the road. 2. Go around Elizabethtown to avoid traffic. Taking these lessons into consideration, we began our trip with a detour through Hodgenville. Apparently this area…
homemade croutons.
I love croutons. Back when I refused to eat vegetables, I would simply eat the croutons off of salads. I realize that croutons are one of the less healthy salad garnishes, but they taste so darn good. And if they can get you to eat some greens, croutons are fine by me. After picking up…
the weekend.
I’m really beginning to love weekends. I guess I’ve always loved weekends because they have been school-free zones, but now that they are also homework-free, they are even more enjoyable! This weekend came with the bonus of glorious weather, so we tried to spend as much time outside as possible. On Friday evening, we headed…
a random collection of recent days.
I feel as though our lives have been a bit random lately. Here’s a random post to go along with our random lives. Last weekend, we went back home to celebrate my Mom’s birthday and my college graduation. I made my mom a birthday cake. Now, we all know that cake decorating is not my…
community supported agriculture. week 1.
Well, we can finally cross something off our bucket list! We signed up for a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) membership a few months ago, and just picked up our first basket of food! First, let me explain the whole ‘CSA’ concept. I did a project on Community Supported Agriculture in one of my agriculture classes…
