Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
Rob and I celebrated our Valentine's Day yesterday, since we both work weird hours during the week. He had gotten us a couple's massage from the massage school next to our gym, and I have to say wow. That was the first time I had ever gotten a professional, hour-long massage and it was incredible.… Continue reading BBQ Pulled Pork Shepherd’s Pie
When my station brings food to a work party, we go all out. Case in point: Our Super Bowl work party.

My best friend drove up from Austin, and another bestie from… Continue reading Farmers Market Stew

I've tried my way bribing a coworker to bring me back some, to no avail. I guess I can try to make a pinhole viewer in the next few… Continue reading Caribbean Pulled Pork Sliders
