Who else was a bit disappointed in the Emmys last night? I definitely think that Breaking Bad deserved all of the recognition that it received, but as much as I love Mad Men, I think that it was horribly over hyped last night. Outstanding drama series?

My parents and brother came to visit this past weekend. It was so nice to see my family for the first time since we moved to New York! It’s too bad that they were only able to stay for a few days, but we had fun while we were together. For those of you who [...]

I got this chili recipe from Dragon’s Kitchen and it is honestly the best chili I’ve ever made. It takes a few hours, which is nice if you’re home on a weekend. It’s got interesting ingredients, too, like cocoa and cinnamon, as well as old favorites, like bacon and beer. This chili was made with [...]
