Verdammt gut

Verdammt gut by Heather Wetzel

You may remember (but you probably don’t, or if you did it would be weird) a comment I made a few months ago about Germany. German, to more specific. I considered myself quite the ‘language buff’ in high school and college. For a while, my intended major was business with minors in French and Spanish. I had dreams of being a big-time…

When life gives you taters

When life gives you taters by Heather Wetzel

So by now, hopefully you’ve read all about our Thanksgiving shenanigans. You know that we rocked a lot, drank a lot, and probably ate even more, if that’s possible. And while we tend to go through a good portion of the food over the days following the big Turkey Day, there are always stragglers in the fridge after Sunday.Ya’ll know…

It’s a Date

It’s a Date by Heather Wetzel

Sometimes life is so simple – right? I want to be that person with the simple life – I used to think I was that person with the simple, awesome life. Awesome – yes; simple – not quite.But what comes up must come down, they say. And while this might sound like a complaint, it assuredly is not. Life is definitely good.One of my favorite…

Potato Pancakes

Potato Pancakes by Amy Ricks

I can remember my mom making these potato pancakes from as far back as my memories go. The authentic version calls for grated raw potato but we have always found this to be a great use for leftover mashed potatoes. Fortunately, I had lots of mashed potatoes after the Braised Country Ribs and Mashed Potatoes dinner we enjoyed just…

Guinness is Good for You

Guinness is Good for You by Heather Wetzel

Christmas has come and gone, as has the 4-day weekend that went along with it. The snow seemed to follow us down South this year, which is an extremely rare occasion in December. I didn’t like that part, but the rest of the trip, for the most part, was a blast.Plus, the majority of the gifts I took home were cookbooks, or cooking…

Feelin’ Lucky

Feelin’ Lucky by Heather Wetzel

I’ve never been a superstitious person. I like black cats (except my mom’s), and I far from freak out when they cross my path. I walked under a ladder tonight and didn’t think twice about it, but maybe that was because we were being handy and using our newly procured drill – I was overcome with excitement. I’ve broken a couple of…

One Hit Wonder

One Hit Wonder by Heather Wetzel

I generally consider myself a one-stop shopper. I don’t mind running a couple of errands at a time, but in the same vein, I like for each errand to really pack a punch, so to speak.I stopped shopping at Dominicks and started buying all my grocery items at Whole Foods for this very reason – I got tired of buying pantry items at one…

Sous Chef

Sous Chef by Heather Wetzel

There is undoubtedly a yin yang-type vibe going on when it comes to having your house on the market. It’s über clean, which is exactly awesome. And when you have to repaint your walls, a process I like to call “borifying”, it appears less like your own home and thus easier to say goodbye to, when the time comes.At the same time, it…

The Phuket List

The Phuket List by Heather Wetzel

So, have you heard? I figure if I’ve heard, then the rest of the more civilized inhabitants of the earth most certainly have: Saturday is a big day for the planet.Did you know that? Yes, Saturday marks three weeks of living in San Francisco, which is not-so-monumental-but-still-cool. But what I mean to point out is this: the world is…
