*The Windjammer*
Crave
*Poes*
(no fast food though**the boyfriend and I don't partake)
well....except for the very rare chick fil a

this info graphic
shows the price difference
 between home cooked and fast food
and the health difference

I think it's very interesting
seeing what $30.00 buys you at McDonalds
and knowing what $30.00 buys you at the Grocery Store
even if you arn't a certified chef
an affordable home made meal is within reach

wanderlust: food and travel

(via a cup of jo)

When I get a taste of Wanderlust

most often

I think of trying exotic foods 

drinking new wines and liquors

I dream of curries

and the crazy packaging of new snacks

trying new foods is always my favorite part of traveling

the cheese plate
with fresh baked bread
brie
cheddar
and tiny champagne grapes

Crock Pot Macaroni & Cheese
add Peas, Pancetta and super sharp cheddar

Pioneer Woman's Steakhouse pizza

I added arugula, mushrooms,  and used vidalia onions

Books-vs-Movies

(click for web site)

I pledged to always read the book before seeing the movie
*I normally do anyway*
But this web site is going to be sending out monthly newsletters
letting you know what books are going to be movies

Scenes from the Isle of Palms

Labor day has already come and gone
*I still can't believe what the calendar tells me*
I was lucky enough
to hit up the beach
with my parents

~it's still nice and hot enough to go the the islands a little while longer~

fossils | ogden nash

at midnight in the museum hall,

the fossils gathered for a ball,

there were no drums or saxophones,

but just the clatter of their bones,

rolling, rattling carefree circus,

of mammoth polkas and mazurkas,

pterodactyls and brontosauruses

sang ghostly prehistoric choruses,

amid the mastodonic wassail

i caught the eye of one small fossil,

“cheer up sad world,” he said and winked,

“it’s kind of fun to be extinct

in the lovely little Sautter Pictures shop

I miss sweaters
I found this beauty on Pinterest (shocker)
I *love* the heart elbow patches
thinking about hitting up the thrift store
 breaking out a needle and thread
just so that I am prepared
for when the air gets a little crisper

I am bitten by a travel bug

and we had fun on the beach
