What to eat, Sunday tonight | Mexican. Anything, Mexican.

So, now that I’ve got New Mexico on the brain (and there’s only three days left on this Lent-inspired “no cheese” thing), we’re ready to start drooling over Mexican food again. It’s a staple in The Colosimo Casa because we love all things cheesy and anything you can dip a tortilla chip into. Plus, it’s … Continue reading

WHERE TO | New Mexico’s Ski Secret

Okay, friends (and family). There are only a few more weeks left in ski season. That means, you better be scrolling flight options as you’re reading this. Where you’re going? New Mexico. I know, I know. No one here on the east coast knows that you can ski in New Mexico. I didn’t either. But, … Continue reading

Squeezing things in as a twenty-something

Someone (you, jerk, will remain nameless) recently pointed out that soon I won’t be able to continue publishing blog posts as a “twenty-something” idler anymore. Gee, thanks. As if I wasn’t already kind of grimacing at the thought of an entirely new decade (that will no doubt go by faster than the last), now I … Continue reading

MOVIE MONDAY | Old People Love to Vie for Oscars

It’s no secret the Oscar race is a golden one. With the likes of Meryl and Martin popping up almost ceaselessly, year to year, it’s a rare year (and an even rarer win) for someone under the age of 30 to get the nod. This year is no different. With a race including so many … Continue reading

What to eat, tonight | Creamy Potato and Sausage Soup

                  Guys, this picture really doesn’t do this stew justice. But, it’s the only one I took before we ravenously consumed an entire crockpot of it. (and then moaned for an hour because we were so full, yet would have eaten more). This stew is one of … Continue reading

Movie Monday | Phillips Philomena… Irish-American Idols

Two more down. And, that’s Oscar noms – not Somali pirates or long-lost offspring… Which, is unfortunately exactly the case in the two most recent views on my to-see list. I want to start this little recap by saying that both of these movies rather surprised me. Captain Phillips, I was already interested in seeing … Continue reading

What to Eat, Tonight. | Pimento Cheese Shrimp and Grits

Well, the feedback for our whipped-together snow day dinner last night was overwhelming. Thanks… You know, it makes a semi-stay-at-home feel pretty good about the time investment she makes on Pinterest and staring at her pantry, uninspired. It also kinda boosts my ego for my efforts in the kitchen. And, since I actually consumed this … Continue reading

North Atlanta’s Snowshow | We froze, we boozed and then we took pictures

Okay, we know that we are unprepared as a community for snow, ice and various other winter weather threats, but you know what? So, what. We haven’t even seen the white stuff in three years, so give us a break for spending our tax dollars on more practical things, like potholes and sports stadiums, rather … Continue reading

TUESDAY’S TRY THIS | What the heck to get a man on Valentine’s Day

The real answer… is probably nothing. They just don’t appreciate it, unless it’s a steak dinner and a strip show. …Or so I’ve heard. But, as women who love our men and want to show them a little specialness, there’s got to be something you can get them, right? Here’s a few things I’ve had … Continue reading

MOVIE MONDAY | Sandra and Matthew team up for Oscars

I love seeing these guys in movies together. So obviously, I love seeing them both get recognized for their own, respective movies, together. It’s not often I can sit my eyes (my special eyes!) through a double feature, but with the countdown clock ticking louder and louder in my ears, I couldn’t waste another hour … Continue reading
