Don’t look back….move forward. I can’t tell you how many times I have said that to others or myself. It is easy to look back and find mistakes. Looking back can sometimes make you lose focus on the now. Past mistakes are learning experiences that can only excel us into a better future. But then …

My Chicken Salad “Sad”wich
I hope everyone enjoyed my Chicago Northwest Restaurant Week preview. I had debated on writing a Valentine’s Day blog in the mix of all of that but decided against it for one reason…..my Valentine’s Day was kind of awful this year. Now before I start getting the inquiries asking about the state of my marriage, …
You Can’t Curry Love
Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it. All good things come to those who wait? Is that true? Do you mind when you have to wait for something? Or do you do whatever is in your power to make things happen NOW? I’m a pretty patient person when it comes to waiting. I …
He Loves Me But Hates My Breasts
When you are with someone for numerous years, you do one of two things. You can either fall even more in love with them or you can start to hate some of the littlest things about them. My hubs and I have been together almost 19 years. Hmmmm. Where are we? I think for the …
Any Way You Slice It…I Don’t Like Pi
You asked for it you got it….I am writing my Pi Day blog BEFORE March 14 so you will remember to do something “Pi-ish” on Monday! For those who are new readers, Pi Day is celebrated on 3-14. (Get it…Pi is 3.14159….) It is probably the nerdiest holiday of the year. Given I married a …
How do you say semantics in Spanish?
Wanna hear me scream?! Arghhhh! (Wait, it came out like I was scared….kind of high and screechy.) ARRGHHHHH! (There we go that one was a bit deeper and throaty.) Why do I scream you ask? I kind of have something that irritates me and I need to get it off of my back. (I also …
Ball Lalalalalalalala
“Deck the table with balls of meat Falalalalalalala Really so good no one will leave their seat Falalalalalalala There’ll be none in your trash barrel Falalalalalalala I’d even share them with my sister Cheryl Falalalalalalala” I think one of my (and my sister’s) favorite parts of the holiday season is the excuse to make a …
Who Wants To Claim My Tikka Masala
We are always in a process of learning. We can be listening to the radio, reading a book or even while watching TV; our brains love to absorb something new. (They are like the sponges you buy in a warehouse store!) I try to keep my brain happy and give it new information every day. …
Ty Cobb Salad?
My husband and I did something the other day that we haven’t done for a loooooong time. It is stereotypically something guys want to do more than girls but this time I was pushing for it. The interesting thing is that he only wanted to do it if we had another couple involved. Since I …
Nando’s PERi-PERi is FINALLY in Chicago
Chicken. Spicy Chicken. Those are words that make my mouth water. Now add the name Nando’s PERi-PERi Chicken to those words and I’m asking “Where? Where?” Have you eaten at Nando’s PERi-PERi before? Nando’s PERi-PERi is known across the world for making delicious African Portuguese chicken. (When I say worldwide, I’m not kidding. There are …
