A few weeks ago, I landed from a week long trip in Sydney, Australia. I’ve been peeling from the intense sun and desperate to go back ever since. It was a whirlwind trip, one that included all the major sights of the city, plus some underground spots and local watering holes introduced to me by…

Frugal Foodie in the Land Down Unda
It’s about that time again, when people start to go home and bundle up for the holidays. Not me. I hate the cold. Hate it. I can deal with cold weather for a little, after I first step outside, but as soon as that cold wind slaps me in the face, I’m done. There’s little…

Hiking Day and Roasted Chicken
Right before it got to frigid to even think about going outside, The Russian and I went for a hike at Noanet peak in Dover. You can see all the way to Boston from the top of the peak, and the climb is beautiful. It was nice to get out of the city, even for…

I barely made it back but I still have a recipe
I made it back from Camp Bisco, guys. Just barely. It was a great weekend, full of friends, music, and pretty decent weather. And dancing. Lots of dancing. When I first got back from Bisco I slept 24 hours, and I still have yet to get out of bed. The funny thing is, I’m sure…
Off for a few days to Never Never Land
