It’s been a year and two days since we moved into this house. And for the entire time the stove/oven has not worked properly. I’ve begged and pleaded with the landlord, the fix it man, the fire department and anyone else who would listen, to get a new one. It wasn’t happenin’ though. We did [...]
english muffin bread grilled cheese

Yes, that’s right, it’s delicioso. First you should know though, posts were slight last week and this because I was attacked by that violent (okay, a little less dramatic than that) stomach bug going around, so I’m a little behind.

Lunch is the one meal in the day that I really just don’t like. I never have. It’s always been such a struggle for me to figure out what to eat that can be packed and doesn’t have to be cooked. I guess half the problem is also the fact that I can eat such [...]
