how to cook a fried egg.

i am NOT a chef.  at all.  i do pretty well in the kitchen, without really knowing what i'm doing!  all i do know i have learned off of FoodNetwork or our favorite show TopChef.

  it really blows my mind watching those amazing chefs go to town! ahhhmazing!

  so, today i tried my hand at a fried egg. and i was pretty excited that it turned out quite well! Tom Colicchio would be proud!

its not perfect but i was proud!

ice day

so everyone back home has snow, we got icey rain. and i thought Ft.O was bad about over exaggerating in-climate weather, Charleston has y'all beat. EVERYTHING shut down today, including all the bridges around here. and everyone was encouraged to stay inside! hilarious. just for some cold rain.
but i did as i was told, i stayed inside! me and the boys laid in bed allll day. they are such good cuddle puppies.  Greg even got to leave work early and come 'home' to nap!  Speaking of home...we get to move into our new house FRIDAY! woohoo. a month of living in a hotel will make you crazy! i am so excited!

chacos.

day time television

it is cold and gloomy outside today.  it is january and i know most of you are walking around bundled up from head to toe in layers upon layers. being a (new) resident of charleston sc, i have become accustomed to the warmth. the other day i was comfortably walking around outside in shorts, a t shirt and my chacos. it was awesome! and so by cold i mean it's 54 degrees. and apparently it has been un-seasonably cold here. however it is still chilly, and muddy since it rained allllll day yesterday. so the puppies and i are inside. again.
watching terrible day time television and spending countless hours wasting time on the inter web.
