Bringing 2014 in Right-ish
Warning: Long Post Commencing - Settle In I know I know, it's taken almost two weeks for me to report on my New Year's Eve celebrating, but I've been uber sick with what I thought was a nasty cold but the cough lingered and did not improve so I gave in and went to the … Continue reading Bringing 2014 in Right-ish
I Scoffed at My Cold

Comfort Food Lamentation
I wondered what I would miss the most from the states while living abroad and it's no surprise to me that it's one thing I can't really have shipped here because it has to be kept cold. There are a few things that have definitely been missed, such as tasso and Cajun smoked sausage and … Continue reading Comfort Food Lamentation
