Mom wanted to change channels on my tv earlier this week and found that in order to do so she had to quit recording Project Runway or Laguna Beach.

So I’m pushing 26 and still record reruns of Laguna Beach. Man, I still love that show and not afraid to express it to the world.

Leggings meets jeans! A perfect find! Being the Cardigan Carrie Midwesterner that I am, finding the perfect pair of leggings has been a daunting task.

Alas, no more. On my trip to Boston, I found this perfect treasure at the AG Jean store on Newbury Street, Boston.

Do I have to leave?

“Always put a tie on. Always. It only takes an extra thirty seconds in the morning, and it’s always the smart move. Old-timers will think you’re an up-and-comer, young folks will know you mean business, and ladies will think you’re the kind of guy who might suddenly take them out to a decent restaurant. It’s always the smart move.””

Dating Advice for missamylynn.

ellenclare:

Every time missamylynn goes on a date, I remind her that she can’t bring up the below “about me” details until the second date:

I am adopted

I thought I was a really good dancer until the first night I went out in college

Act like you eat normal food (I don’t either but we are good at faking it for others)

I was 9th in the world for horse riding

Most importantly: Don’t show the pictures of the horse riding competitions

I figure all of the above conversations are better after you know someone a little more.

Thank you Ellenclare. I do need to remind myself of this sometimes and you know me so well.

Dear NF, guess my secrets are out now.

Kenny Chesney - Back Where I Come From

My favorite Kenny song.

Mine too. There is something sacred about growing up in a place where you can pick corn with your dad in the fall and check calves with him in the spring.

“18 days until Boston little girl!”

Time to get back on the horse! It’s been awhile since...

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:46:03 -0400

Time to get back on the horse! It’s been awhile since I’ve put on my domestic apron, but tomorrow for dear B’s going away party and S’s birthday extravaganza, I thought it’s time to give ‘er a go again.

We are having a classy champagne party so I decided my contribution will be a Paula Dean baked brie.

Action shots of the brie to follow…

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (package comes with 2 sheets)
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 small (8-ounce) wheel Brie
1/2 cup raspberry jam
2 eggs, beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Defrost 1 sheet of puff pastry for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and unfold (place remaining sheet in freezer for later use). Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute nuts in butter until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Place nuts on top of Brie and spread jam on top of nuts. Gently roll pastry with a rolling pin to increase the size of the sheet 1 to 2 inches in each direction. Brush both sides of the sheet with beaten egg. Center the wheel of Brie on top of the pastry sheet. Bring all four corners of the sheet together above Brie and twist slightly to form a “bundle.” Tie gathered pastry with kitchen/cooking string (tie string in the form of a bow), arranging pastry until you are satisfied with the “bundle” shape. Place “bundle” on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Serve with top-quality crackers.
