I got this recipe from my sister (yes, the same brilliant one who introduced me to the wonder of sweet potato casserole). It might be the easiest thing I've made with my slow cooker yet. This taco filling is TASTY and will make your house/kitchen smell amazing for the...
Tuesday Treasure Trove
A funny little video to start off: How to Piss Off a Frog. What Kind of Book Reader Are You? I'm a Chronological Bookophile Cross-Under Multi-tasker. 😀 Ladies Need Sex, Too. Self-explanatory, one would hope. This Canadian ad campaign is awesome and long overdue...
Sunday Confessions
1. I'm not sure this comes across in everyday posting (ok, maybe a little, just given the name of my blog), but I am a huge geek. As is the boy. Like, we bonded over playing World of Warcraft together when we first started dating. And, I still play The Sims 3 (though,...
Five Things Friday
1. It's amazing how productive a day can be when you get solid sleep at night. I've slept great all week, and I've gotten so much done! Quite an unusual state of affairs for this insomniac. 2. Part of my trip back home involved helping my mom go through...

Tuesday Treasure Trove

Texas Spotlight: Natural Bridge Caverns
Last weekend my friend Tim organized an outing to Natural Bridge Caverns, because he had not yet in his life been inside a cave and figured it was time to remedy that. Ian & I hadn't been to this particular cave system either, so we went along. It's about an hour...
