….it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I am writing to your from the kitchen of my house in Philly (side note: I always find it strange when people say “at my parents house”…like this is not my home too. It’s my house and always will be. I guess if my parents moved one day I might […]
Hello From My New Office
aka the extra sh!t room of the house. For so long, Luis and I have been using this room to store boxes, Bruja’s Bakery and Mazál things, leave extra shoes, all the stupid papers we have to keep, while I have been using the living room as my “office” since Luis has been home working. […]
Stress-FULL
Today was Stressfull, with a capital S and emphasis on Full. It didn’t start out stressfully (not sure if that is a word, but let’s go with it), but it got stressfull very quickly when I opened the first bin of bagels (we store them in fermentation bins overnight) to see that someway, somehow, some […]
I had a dream last night that someone I know (or I knew in my dream, but I don’t know who are they are now), we going to be raising pigs and I was explaining to him that he needs to crop the ears….snip the tails…maybe castrate the pigs. See Mom and Dad…4H has come […]
Granola and Peaches
This post has absolutely nothing to do with granola and peaches except that I am eating a bowl of granola and peaches and warm milk for breakfast as I type. The warm milk point is not by choice…it’s just that here in Spain, boxed milk is the common way to purchase milk (and it’s the […]
Fase 2, Mac and Cheese, and More
Hello there! How are you? I hope this Monday finds you well. If you are in Madrid, then happy Fase 2 Day! Yes, we are officially in phase 2 of this quarantine bs (I mean that in an “I am over this” sort of way, but I also know that it is (somewhat) necessary). Anyway, […]
We Are in Fase 1
Dad, are your spelling sirens going off from that title?! For anyone else reading, I am well aware that fase is spelled with a ph, but in spanish, it is spelled with and ‘f’ so *insert tongue-sticking-out emoji*. Hello there! I am coming to you bright and early (9 am) already showered, dressed, breakfasted, and […]
Keeping You On Your Toes
Sorry to leave you in suspense yesterday…and Tuesday! I meant to post, but like I’ve said before, once I start to do things, there is no turning back to post. So here we are, a couple days late, but that’s ok! Don’t want things to get to MUNDANE around here during the quarantine…gotta keep things […]
I Need A New Title
Should I just keep calling these posts Monday Morning Coffee Chat? That’s what they are, but it seems repetitive! Anyway, hello friends, random readers, Mom, Dad- nice that you’re all here! I am writing this to you after going for a run and then I went to pick up bagels from the local bagel shop. […]
High on a Monday
