“that’s beautiful… what is that? velvet?” pt.ii

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

The baking bug has bitten again. Maybe it’s the cold weather. Maybe it’s because I like to bake. Maybe it’s because I finally cleaned my kitchen, but a clean kitchen just doesn’t look right so I decided to get it messy again. Maybe I just wanted some cupcakes.

This was definitely my best batch of Red [...]

jonathan’s christmas present to me was taking me this restaurant i’ve been dying to go to.
so we went.
first:

[baby broccoli, pancetta, parmesan, soft egg, bread crumbs]
a great start to the night. the broccoli had a nice bite to it still, the crispy bits of pancetta were awesome. the egg made it for me, though. you know [...]

chocolate + bacon + cupcakes = grreat.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time cleaning my apartment this weekend. And by cleaning I mean moving the mess from room to room, until it all ended up in my bedroom and then I got tired of cleaning (don’t worry, bedroom, I’ll get you tonight!). So, after the kitchen was near spotless, I [...]

just add bacon

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Not only do I truly appreciate any dish where bacon is added, I carry that appreciation over to the Innernets. And now, my online bacon obsession has come full circle with baconporn.tumblr.com/ and…
wait for it…
bacolicio.us

add bacon to any site you think could be helped by adding bacon (but really, that’s every site, right?)
i think i [...]

Dear Whole Foods,
I simultaneously love you and hate you.
Regards,
Holly
I went to Whole Foods after work last night to get a sandwich for dinner. $26 later, I left with a panini, two italian sodas and an ice cream sandwich.
How the fuck does that happen.
Last night’s tweet:

Let me just tell you… it was the best [...]

it’s so wrong, but so right.

yes, that is a mcdonalds french fry dipped in a mcdonalds sundae. if you’ve tried it, you know i’m speaking truth. if you’re looking at your monitor in disgust and wondering why we’re friends, then you obviously need to scoot on down to your local mcdonalds and give [...]

no lunch for you.

Friday, August 8th, 2008

In a concerted effort to save money, Mikee, Nat and I have decided to stop going out for lunch. The agreement is you gotta bring lunch, everyday, from home. If you forget your lunch or just decide you want to eat out, you get a tally mark next to your name on the [...]

Wake and Bake…er, Bacon.

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

It’s the best way to wake up ever. Ever, in the history of waking up.

WHAT: An alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon.
WHY: No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm. This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like [...]

I’ve curbed my addiction to Starbucks a great deal – limiting myself to twice a week. My latest drink of choice (replacing the much missed Iced Honey Latte) is the Starbucks DoubleShot. Simple and good – 3 shots of espresso with classic syrup, shaken and topped off with a little milk (soy, in [...]
