Some Things Never Get Old


   This weekend we had visitors. Visitors from across the pond. And from across the pond I mean Paris. Not Paris, Maine. Paris, Paris. The city of love. One of my favorite places. I mean, you practically breathe art and romanticism when you set foot out of CDG airport. So that being said, we must make a good impression by showing them the beautifulness of where we live. We took them to:


  • Portland Head Light (of course)
  • Spring Point
  • Flatbread (because there is SO much beauty in food!) 
  • Old Port
   They (I think/hope) liked it. I mean, nothing compares to the Eiffel Tower, but I would say that the rocky coast and the smell of good, clean salt air in your lungs comes pretty close. At least, it brings a smile to my face.

   Where's your favorite place? Is it a popular landmark, a restaurant, or someplace close to home?

the anatomy of a breakfast burrito

yay! i got the spelling of burrito right on the first try! you're probably shaking your head at this point in the post. first, you are thinking, wow, you take a hiatus on your blog and the first post back is about the parts of a breakfast burrito? and now, you're all up on yourself for spelling meandering words right on the first try.

well, that's how i roll. while cooking this noontime, i thought it would be fun to categorize the different parts of the meal. which turns out, is rather hard. in addition to going back and forth from the refrigerator to the stove to the microwave (yes, cooking with this girl absolutely involves using those microwaves) to the fridge to the microwave without anything burning, stirring here, grabbing an ingredient there, and snapping photos. let's just say i'm a girl of many talents.

so i don't cook too often. and i'm not a very good one. well, on the dishes that i've practiced i suppose i am. i have homemade alfredo sauce down to a pat. and i don't even follow a recipe. i just go by what feels right. tasting along the way. always using a clean spoon, mind you. you are probably turning your computer off right now, shaking your head at my lack of, er, cookingness. yes. a made up word. but that's okay. made up words are fine on this bloggity blog.

so the anatomy of a breakfast burrito.

here goes:
