2009 Year of Pleasures #5

Posted on: February 3, 2009 Last updated on: November 8, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
I may have gotten a little carried away on ebay. These are the type of dishes I want to use to line the staircase wall. I love pyrex, milk glass, and especially fire king. The only problem is that between…

Food Nanny Notebooks

Posted on: January 22, 2009 Last updated on: November 8, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon

I had a ton of guests around last week, so I used the occasion as an excuse to make my favorite sinfully wonderful cake. I invented this recipe myself and it all started because I don’t really like chocolate. I…

Organizing my life

Posted on: January 5, 2009 Last updated on: November 8, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
Here we go back to the mayhem of everyday life. I really wish I could do something about how overcommitted I am, but it’s not me, it’s Atti. He’s getting bigger and stronger every day, but he’s still fairly significantly…

Posted on: January 1, 2009 Last updated on: November 8, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
Does anybody ever manage to keep their New Years Resolutions? I’ve never known anyone besides my friend Jess who could actually keep anything going past January. I’ve given up on the idea working for me. Instead I like to think…

I had a different topic for this post in mind, but when I looked up the date and realized we’re almost through May already, I needed to toss it out for a mini-existential breakdown. Whew. Time, eh? I love hearing…

We Can Do It

I’ve spent the entire last six weeks sewing my heart out. Sustainably at first, just one project among many I’d spend my time on. A little ironing here, a little sewing there. When I started, people were still scoffing at…

There Never Was a Normal

I’ve been quieter here than I anticipated when I announced my return. Current events and a global pandemic threw all our plans up in the air and laughed. I’ve struggled with knowing exactly what to say. I’m in a very…
