Last week I went out to California to support an intro workshop for audiologists who are learning about our cochlear implant system. Sounds riveting, I know. But actually it was really fun. Despite working 12-15 hour days, I got to meet some cool people from all over the country and brag about how awesome our…

My apartment is officially a sweat shop. A freezing sweat shop, because I don’t want to pay for heat. But there is back-breaking work going on in there for sure. One of my co-workers (whom I adore) commissioned me to make three quilts- one for each of her daughters- for Christmas. Her husband passed away…
chicken w/ salsa verde bake
Short week for me! I’m leaving on Wednesday morning for Orlando to present a poster at the American Academy of Audiology national conference. Or, as the GS refers to it, “The Ear Nerds Convention.” I’m really excited because I’ve never been before and I’m envisioning getting the Comic-con effect in full force. So many people…
pasta squarcierella
I’ve got a bone to pick with Barilla. First of all, Kelly and I recently discovered the conspiracy behind their veggie pasta. It’s sold in boxes that are the same size and price as the regular pasta, but they only give you 12 ounces instead of 16. The nerve. It’s like how potato chip bags…
farro-stuffed acorn squash
I don’t know about you all, but I haven’t been doing much cooking in the past week. I felt highly under-utilized on Thanksgiving. We had about 45 people over but basically all the food got brought in. I seasoned the two turkeys we made- that was IT. The other two turkeys, the desserts, pretzel jello,…
sour cream & onion dip
This weekend my family and most of the Hilton Head crew was in town visiting! I cooked a boatload of chicken riggies on Friday night, and yesterday we went to College Park for the Syracuse/Maryland football game and some tailgate fun. I love having guests! Let’s talk about being a good hostess. First, we need…
tomato bacon pasta
Public service announcement: WordPress is getting bored with my and Sheila’s antics and less-than-mediocre photography. They told us we’ve reached our limit, and want to charge us real money for more space. We’re both poor so this clearly wasn’t happening. In a genius move on my part, I went through and mass-deleted some photos, not…
my go-to weeknight dinner
I sincerely apologize for my hiatus. I’ve been so bogged down with schoolwork that last Saturday night I was still plugging away on the couch late enough to hear all the fun kids coming home from the bars. I needed someone to shout “last call” for research on the middle latency response. Seriously, haven’t been…
potato & leek soup
It’s weird to think that in a few short weeks, representatives from HGTV will be coming to my house to tell me that I won the 2013 Dream Home. I’ll be coincidentally wearing my Kiawah t-shirt, and they’ll tell me that they’re throwing in an even bigger cash prize because I’m a struggling grad student….
chicken riggies
It’s remarkable that I’m posting a recipe containing alcohol the Monday morning after alumni weekend and a HUGE win for the BALTIMORE RAVENS! Tom Brady, your pretty face is all you have left. All of my Loyola friends were visiting this weekend for the Bull and Oyster Roast, which is an annual event for current…
