Barefoot Contessa Beef Chili
The flu has invaded my house. Just Emery so far and we are doing everything we can to keep it that way. Poor thing is on day three of a fever and headache and generally feeling like poop. Half of her soccer team and a bunch of classmates are also sick. What a weird time […]
Tried and True Comfort Food

Em and I grabbed takeout from Sciortino’s a few weeks ago and our bill was over $50 for two rigatoni alla vodka orders. No drinks. No meat. No salads. As amazing […]
