That’s me. But wait a second…my name isn’t Gretchen right? Well, Gambling Jaye doesn’t sound as cool, and if my Mum had her way I probably would have been a wooden shoe wearing Gretchen. I’m not a big gambler. I tried once in Vegas and it was such a rollercoaster that I stopped the second […]
I’ve been working on goal #54 of my 101 in 1001 for quite some time now. This specific goal was a lofty one – to grow out my natural hair colour. For way too long I’ve been a redhead that colours her hair red. I’ve just never been content with my natural colour – although […]
I don’t watch a lot of movies. I USED to watch a lot. Then I stopped. Now I maybe watch one a month, and spend my extra time reading instead. This month though I was able to see a lot. This weekend alone I watched three, and all three were really something to talk about. […]
I really wish I could live in England. If only for the desserts. My mouth waters at the thought of eating a Cherry Bakewell, or Battenburg Cake. Mmm so good. Now I can finally make something pretty similar at home! As I told you on Monday, we ate our wedding cake at lunch time. My […]
You wanna know a secret? I didn’t make Chicken Piccata just because I wanted to. I made it because it was the feature of our wedding meal. So this dinner was even more special for us I had never attempted this dish before, but I think I made out pretty good. What do you think? […]
This is by far the single most amazing potato creation ever invented. I am a potato lover. Baked, fried, roasted, mashed, heck…I’ve been known to eat raw potatoes. They make me happy, and even though common thought is that a potato is not considered in the “vegetable” category – but the “carbs” category – I […]
Does anyone else have recipe amnesia? I picked a recipe for this out earlier this week, and when it came down to preparing it Sunday night – the website was nowhere to be found. So I was forced to find something similar on MarthaStewart.com and improvise the rest. We are huge fans of asparagus. Like…we […]
If you aren’t into cooking then you probably don’t want to hang around here this week. I’m doing something extra special by sharing with you all our so very gourmet anniversary dinner (and the events of the day) that I made for us. I’m going to tease you by preparing all of the blogs tonight, […]
Today we’re celebrating our very First Wedding Anniversary. It feels as if it was only yesterday we met, let alone got engaged, planned a wedding and got married, bought a house… It’s been a year already? So let’s take a little trip down memory lane. A year ago this morning I was beautified with my […]
The Hubsters and I took a mini road trip today. We drove an hour each way to bring home something super duper special. Something that was well worth the 100 miles on my car, the 8 dollars in gas and numerous traffic jams while driving with a full bladder. The drive out was full of […]
