The Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich
When the weather turns cold, I begin to crave comfort foods. Salads and fresh veggies just seem to lose their appeal the lower the temperature drops. I want warm. I want gooey. I want grilled cheese sandwiches. Yes, I know, not exactly the healthiest thing to eat when fixed the way many moms used to…
Required Reading
As my spring semester is about to begin, I’ve started reading one of the books for my Brit Lit class– Oliver Twist. The book list for the class includes many titles that I feel like I should have read, but never have (Sense and Sensibility, Mrs Dalloway, Heart of Darkness, Picture of Dorian Gray). As…

My Newest Favorite Show
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wezT5rTaCmQIf you haven’t been able to catch it so far this season, then I absolutely must recommend ABC’s Modern Family.

Spinal Tap: This One Goes to 11
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbVKWCpNFhY Jean’s post about her discovery of Christopher Guest has had me fondly remembering my favorite bits from movie pasts. Thanks to the wonders of YouTube, it’s easy. This is Spinal Tap was when most of us were introduced to the incredible talents of Mr. Guest – AKA, 5th Baron Haden-Guest. Coming up with my…
