ordinary tales.: on redecorating corners.

http://ordinary-tales-by-c.blogspot.com/2012/08/on-redecorating-corners.html

The best of the best. Friday, August 24, 2012. To continue the real estate theme, let's talk about the biggest thing i've ever done with any space i've ever lived in:. I took on a design project, that i saw in magazine, and i made it happen (with brian's manpower). Don't mind the dirt i'm brushing off my shoulders. And the slanted floor in the corner also made it a death trap for any guests who sat in my rolling chair and slowly rolled off the staircase. And the shoe museum was born. Old textbooks and th...

ordinary tales.: on my muffin top cookies.

http://ordinary-tales-by-c.blogspot.com/2012/04/on-my-muffin-top-cookies.html

The best of the best. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. On my muffin top cookies. I found a vegan recipe for chocolate chip cookies at the end of grad school, and with some extra time on my hands i decided to give it a whirl. but let's make one thing clear:. I do not condone veganism. I could go on, but we like to make this a fairly happy place where we talk about shoes and contemplate the meaning of death. so let's move on. It's just too much. 1/2 tsp. baking powder. 1/3 tsp. baking soda. 1/2 tsp. salt. Mash t...

ordinary tales.: on the perfect roast chicken.

http://ordinary-tales-by-c.blogspot.com/2014/01/on-perfect-roast-chicken.html

The best of the best. Thursday, January 9, 2014. On the perfect roast chicken. When i grew up i ate a lot of chicken. my mom, without fail, would make one roast chicken a week. i have a distinct memory of whining (in an outdoor voice) “chiiiiiicken? I’m sick of chicken! I had never heard of the zuni café. Located in san Francisco, or its chef, judy rodgers. But after her passing away last year, almost every article i read raved about her roast chicken. then, when i read her recipe. I love the lodge one w...

ordinary tales.: on my boyfriend's jeans.

http://ordinary-tales-by-c.blogspot.com/2012/12/on-my-boyfriends-jeans.html

The best of the best. Tuesday, December 18, 2012. On my boyfriend's jeans. When i first saw the boyfriend jeans trend i was like - nope, not for me! While my style tends to be all over the place, it's always more feminine than not. big, baggy, ripped jeans were not me. And then i saw them paired with heels. and i totally changed my tune. Do you guys have any idea how good boyfriend jeans are at showing off a pair of killer heels? Like, super duper good). I love american eagle. Because i used to work there.

ordinary tales.: on a compromising dinner.

http://ordinary-tales-by-c.blogspot.com/2013/05/on-compromising-dinner.html

The best of the best. Tuesday, May 14, 2013. On a compromising dinner. So mix up your few ingredients, rub your filets with a little oil, then rub with the marinade, then lay thin slices of lemon on top. pop into a 400 degree oven for twenty minutes, depending on your oven. next time i'll cook mine a little less as my oven runs hot. And, yes, brian actually enjoyed it. now to convince him to eat more salmon. May 14, 2013 at 10:33 AM. May 14, 2013 at 10:47 AM. And its easy to make - even better. I definit...

ordinary tales.: on life's disappointments.

http://ordinary-tales-by-c.blogspot.com/2012/10/on-lifes-disappointments.html

The best of the best. Thursday, October 4, 2012. There are some things in life that we can't change. sure, we can always change our perspective, but some things are the way they are. your parents are your parents. your siblings are your siblings. your genes are your genes. some things can change with hard work, perseverance, timing, luck. Catch that football game? Yeah, this stuffing sure is good! And yet, i don't. October 4, 2012 at 7:49 AM. October 4, 2012 at 7:59 AM. To understand it better? But reall...

The best of the best. Tuesday, June 17, 2014. On my weekend in pictures. This past weekend brian and i went out to shelter island to celebrate his birthday (happy birthday, b! I found a deal online for a hotel by the bay, and it would take only a train and a ferry ride to get there. no planes or cars? Going to shelter island was like taking a step back in time and a big, deep breath - it's remoteness (yet still easy to get to! June 17, 2014 at 11:07 PM. June 18, 2014 at 11:00 AM.
