we’ve made this recipe twice… well, actually, we’ve made something similar based on ingredients we had (savannah isn’t really big on measuring too closely or “cooking inside the lines” i guess you could call it–sometimes things turn out okay, sometimes they don’t!). our version follows: INGREDIENTS 1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth (changed from chicken) 3…
the happiest place on earth
The title is no joke. We didn’t see one upset child all day. 90 minute waits for the most popular rides? No problem–every single 4, 5 and 6 year old just patiently waited. Hungry? We didn’t hear it. Tired and ready to go home? Impossible. We were genuinely impressed with how well behaved everyone (children…
happy valentine’s day
Neither of us are especially mushy, and we don’t normally make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day, but we thought we’d use it as an excuse to focus on one area of the house and make it cute (see below)… and it seemed like a good display for a couple of our more lovey…
beef and brussels sprouts stir fry
A couple of nights ago, we decided to make the Beef and Brussels Sprouts Stir Fry that was in the January issue of Southern Living. savannah’s mom gave her a subscription this year and we’re so excited to try new things out each month. You can also find the recipe here. It’s a really simple…
the entry piece
Another project! Several years ago, well, probably more than that, savannah’s mom got the piece as unfinished wood. She painted it white and savannah later had it in her house in College Station. It’s been well loved, so was time to spruce it up. Stay tuned to see how it turns out.
grillin’
Sometime back in September, our grill tank ran out of propane. Because we’d hoped we’d be moving across the country and we knew we’d be super busy finishing up thesis stuff and wedding planning, we decided not to refill the tank for the time being. Last weekend, we finally purchased a new tank, full of…
sunny saturday
We thought it was going to rain all weekend which meant no working on our projects or getting our bikes fixed up to ride. However, we were pleasantly surprised with a sunny Saturday afternoon. Brandon fixed up the bikes and we began our outing. First, we biked to the park down the street. Roller hockey…
linguine
Some time ago, savannah had found this recipe for Linguine with Toasted Almonds, Parsley, and Lemon and she finally got around to making it. However, because we’re having fun finding new favorite buys at our new stores (we miss HEB terribly, but we’re quickly learning to like Trader Joe’s–more on that later), because of what…
projects
Since apparently moving and settling into our first home (still in progress) wasn’t enough of a project, we decided to take on a few more. This past weekend, we went to a few of the many thrift/antique stores in Burbank looking for something to turn into a headboard and found two things we just couldn’t…
