Colosimos rule the kitchen.

I recently heard a rumor that Mike was trying to tell people he wasn’t really a good cook. That he needed a whole day to prepare and execute a meal worth getting hungry for and usually that doesn’t happen. From over seven years of personal experience, I can add that he probably will tell you … Continue reading

A family feud worth watching

Okay, I realize I am way behind in seeing The History Channel’s premier of The Hatfields and The McCoys. It’s been on my DVR for weeks. The buzz has come and gone. Bill Paxton is immediately forgotten again. Nevertheless, Mike and I devoted three of the last four nights to getting through it. Now, many … Continue reading

Lunchtime on the Westside

I know, I know. We’re on a spending freeze, and I am supposed to be bringing my lunch made from the fridge. I’ve accepted that every so often that means white bread or meal replacement shakes have to do. But sometimes, just sometimes, I cannot resist the taste bud temptations that make up this cozy … Continue reading

I never used to eat white bread

If I had to bet, I’d say 98% of you readers grew up eating Iron Kids bread. It was fortified with the vitamins and minerals us active kids need to get a well-balanced, nutritional meal from something as simple as a sandwich. Life was good. But then studies came out saying white bread was bad … Continue reading

What are you reading?

It’s long overdue, especially since this summer I’ve slipped back into my old ways. Those are the ways of speed reading, frantic page turning and staring at typed out words for so long that my eyes worsen and I get increasingly more sensitive to light. I love it. This summer, I’ve poured over popular reads … Continue reading

A Saturday Snicker.

This really did make me giggle out loud at work, and because I didn’t feel the need to turn around and explain myself (and then too much time had passed for it to ever be appropriate again), I thought I’d just share it with the world. You’re welcome.

You know you’re scrimpin’ when…

…You eat your turkey sandwich on a leftover 4th of July hamburger bun… …Your dinner consists of the last of the French Onion dip and Ruffles… …Instead of taking your old clothes to goodwill, you use them as art supplies… …Returns are your biggest source of income…  Okay, but seriously. I am a little proud … Continue reading

Who are you hobos?

It’s time to address a situation. For the last several months that I’ve been employed on the Westside, I’ve noticed a new kind of people. They’re the kind of people I read about in Larry Brown novels or in The Grapes of Wrath, but never knew existed in real life, nonetheless in Atlanta. This should … Continue reading

My Man, the Master Chef

Favorite Part about being married so far: Discovering all the things Mike can actually do by himself. I left Mike on his own last weekend to visit the country of Miami. I left Saturday from work and didn’t come back until Tuesday after work. And I didn’t even see him Saturday because they tried to … Continue reading

Your Morning Good

Ok, clearly it’s food week here on Forthesakeofvocabulary.com. That was an accident. Hope you’re hungry. For the last month and a half, I’ve eaten the exact same breakfast EVERY SINGLE MORNING. I am not kidding. Thanks to the French-inspired Al Fresco morning meal served to our lovely press posse in Savannah (Thank you Zimmerman gals … Continue reading
