TK's Mutha-Huggin' Cioppino
It’s been gloomy for the past week or so. May has brought nothing but (much needed) rain and clouds and cold. So when Mo and I were trying to figure out what to make for dinner last night, we decided that cioppino (seafood stew) would be the perfect.
I had never made cioppino before, but after doing it - I can tell you…it’s pretty easy. Also, it’s a one pot meal so the...

Being An Adult - Part 5: Making Plans
I have a secret I want to share with y’all. It’s kind of a big deal secret and I’m a little hesitant to put it out there but…
I’m a planner.
I know it might come as a surprise to some of you - since, generally, I’m a pretty easy going, go-with-the-flow type. But. Something’s changed. It’s been a transition over time (you know, like a tectonic...

Phone Conversations with my Mother
Me: Guess what?
Mom: What?
Me: I got contact lenses!
Mom: What?? Why you need contact lenses?
Me: I just had an eye exam - so I got new glasses AND contacts.
Mom: Noooooo. You don't need contact lenses. You the only one in our family who wears glasses. Because you like how they look. You don't need glasses. Only the old people in our family need glasses.
Me: What? I do need glasses!
Mom: WHATEVER! Byeeeeeeee.

Belated Valentine
I was all set to post yesterday with words + pictures of my super secret Valentines treat for Mo but it took longer than expected and I ended up, quite literally, elbow deep in ganache.
So to be truthful, Valentine’s Day is alright in my book. Not that Mo + I go out on the 14th or anything (not anymore, anyway. Eesh, the crowds are so not worth it) - but it’s a nice reminder that...

The Year of TK
This is my year, people. I’ve got big plans for 2012.
Mainly, I’m getting off my ass and doing shit. I’m not getting any younger and I’m not getting any cooler - so I best use my time wisely.
Firstly - No fattiez. I’m getting into shape. Mostly, I’m afraid of the diabeetus. Don’t want it. Would like to keep both my feet intact. Would like my entire...

Being An Adult - Part 2
When you’re an adult - you can like popular/lame/cheesy shit and not care about what other people think. I’m not concerned with being cool. Counting scenester* points no more!
*Mo said the word “scenester” the other day and we laughed so hard cause it made him sound old** as shit.
**Mo is gonna be old as shit in April. YIKES. I want a divorce! (JK, MOM)

Secrets From The Otherside or Being An Adult -...
In a few short days I will be turning 27. Though not much changes year to year when you’re in your mid-to-late twenties, this one seems big. Firstly, 27 sounds definitively older than 26. Secondly, this will be my first full year as a married lady. Thirdly, this will be my third full year as a homeowner. Fourthly, this will be my fifth full year at my office monkey job.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa....

2011
For the last week or so, I’ve been trying to think up new years resolutions and plans for 2012 and so far this is all I’ve come up with:
Make my cat an internet super star
Not have a baby
Get fit
Start writing again
I’m having difficulty thinking of actual attainable things. Mostly I want to win the lottery and tell all the people I hate to suck it - but I suppose that goes...

This week I had my poop-stain birthmark removed. It used to be on the back of my left leg. Three doctors and several appointments - it’s gone.
I won’t show you the after. It’s unsightly.
RIP Poopstain Birthmark.
You will be sorely missed. (At least until my stitches come out. Har har har)

An Open Letter To Seth Rogen
Dear Seth Rogen,
Hey.
So I just watched 50/50 (top notch, by the way. Love that J.G-L. Adorbs.) and it made me realize two things. 1. Openly sobbing in a movie theater is frowned upon and 2. We should be friends.
This is not the first time I’ve come to these realizations, but let’s just go with it.
Here’s a little about me: I’m 26. I’m married (which is only...

Things I Am Learning From My Grandma →
I love this series on HelloGiggles.
Nicole Shabtai writes about the things she learns from her grandma (who’s ill, but still super fine - I mean the woman gets gel manicures for Pete’s sake).
I read all the articles during lunch one day at work and couldn’t stop tearing up. It made me think of my own grandma and how much I missed her. I haven’t seen my grandma in twelve...

solo vacation
Going on solo vacation this week. Mo was not available to join.
+ seeing/sending quality time with my cousin
- airport security alone
- flying alone (of which I am only mildly to medium scared of. Mostly only because if I crash and die there won’t be anyone to turn and say: Well, at least we’re together. to before it all ends)
So far the minuses are more than the pluses. It’s...

work time chatter
1: Can you do lunch October 11?
2: No, I'm having surgery.
3. What for?
2: I'm getting a mole removed.
1: That's too bad. Is it cosmetic?
2: Nope. It shouldn't be a big deal but my doctor said the words "malignant melanoma" six times.
1: Oh no...
- pause -
3: So...when can we do lunch?

quality time
Mom: Did you hear about that cantaloupes in Denver? Some guy got sick, right? And then they recalled all the cantaloupes.
TK: Really? I didn't hear about that.
Mom: You didn't?! Well. Be careful.
TK: I don't eat cantaloupes.
Mom: NO. I mean all vegetables. Make sure you wash it good, ok?
TK: Don't worry.
Mom: I don't want you to get sick!
TK: I don't eat vegetables. So I won't get sick.
Mom: I'm gonna slap your face.

i love you, adele
1: I love how Adele is genre-less. They play her on all the radio stations.
2: You know why that is, right?
1: Why?
2: Cause she's a fat ging. I mean, she's not fat really - but she doesn't fall into those stereotypes.
1: Like Jessica Simpson.
