Happy Groundhog Day!

Chicken Tikka Masala from Scratch

As Food52 (where we got the recipe: https://food52.com/recipes/13819-ultimate-chicken-tikka-masala) writes, there is a smug satisfaction that comes with making a favorite takeout dish at home. This tasted incredible- so I made a movie montage!

Really enjoyed this 'Music for Cooking' playlist on Spotify, running in the background at times. A few good classics, and covers in there.

A Month into the New Year

Are we there yet?

Lazy Sundays; Cookies

Got this chocolate chip cookie mix as part of a Secret Santa gift and finally made it today.

I can't get over how amazing the house smells now, while watching episodes of 'Godless'.

New Year, New Stuff

Excited to share the latest addition to my #etsy shop: Chinese New Year Pencil Case #chinesenewyear #bagsandpurses http://etsy.me/2D1z0sq

🏡 12 Days at a Hotel

You try it sometime. Some of it is fun. I like breakfast buffets- and if you stay at a Residence Inn like we did, I hope they have on-the-go nutella packets and greek yogurt on deck.



However, there are unfamiliar noises and smells you start to notice more after a few days. I guess it's a give-and-take.

Love and BBQ

Country love songs and barbecue at the first place we ate when we moved to Baltimore (on the way from BWI to the house).

Bonfire BBQ, we love you.
