My day in food: stories edition

Posted by Lindsay Beeson on . 4 comments.

What I Ate Wednesday friends: my day, it was full of things! Mostly walky things. And talky things. Write-y things, too. Today, every plate of food or cup feels a little more like a story. What I ate (and did) Breakfast:I gone and done it. I replaced my two-toasts-and-egg breakfast (plus butter and sea salt) [...]

Goal: Run a 10k

Posted by Lindsay Beeson on . 4 comments.

These feet! They ran this morning! That dawgface! … OK. She didn’t help me run, but she helped make a cute photo (and I’m kinda thinking she needs to squirm her way to Star of Lindsay’s Blog. The eyes. The moufspace. The perfect schnozzle). Back to my feet. And to my 10k goal. It’ll be [...]

My day in food: Dawg edition

Posted by Lindsay Beeson on . 4 comments.

What I Ate Wednesday friends, I’m late to the party this week. You know what? Seriously, I’m OK with not having Internet at my house. But sometimes, like this time, it gets in the way of staying on top of my to-do list. I’ll get used to my new rhythm. Time, is all. My day [...]

Walking, and things we’re doing (just fine) without

Posted by Lindsay Beeson on . 2 comments.

Let me get right to the list of the few things we are doing without, that are changing a lot about my daily habits (and how my brain works): » Parking the car. Well, just my car (It’s still a little too cold for Patrick to ride his bike to work, which he’s anxious to [...]

My day in food: At-home edition

Posted by Lindsay Beeson on . 4 comments.

You know what, What I Ate Wednesday friends? Yesterday I was all “know what I should do, self? I should take photos of food. I’m totally gonna.” So I did. So simple. What I ate in our house I’m gonna be infatuated with our new house for a while. Maybe for, like, thirty years. So [...]

My sewing office … wee beginnings

Posted by Lindsay Beeson on . 6 comments.

The first is a view from the door. The second, a view as I’m standing at the window you see in the first. Everything in the middle is vast and empty, waiting for me to make decisions and create … a table, chairs, a floor mat for doing morning exercises, even. This is my space. [...]

Gonna make polenta from scratch, uhuh.

Posted by Lindsay Beeson on . 4 comments.

I was inspired by Ms. Less Serious Life to make the polenta recipe above. (I’ve only been daydreaming about trying polenta — for the first time! — for a few years). I might even make a red sauce to serve it with, too. (Such a copy cat.) How about I let you know how that [...]

Good days start like this

I have a front porch. I’ve wanted one of these since we moved out of my childhood home when I was ten (wraparound porch galore). Today: I put away all the knick-knacks, make triple-chocolate brownies for my new neighbors, and practice my interview skills for a job I would love to get!

Just write something, damnit.

Oh. Hi! I’ve been, umm. Busy? Yeah, I think I’ve been busy, and that any objective observer would agree. Patrick and I lived out of a few boxes for a month, in the company of my generous parents. We spent Christmas at their house, but also visiting extended family in High Point and Raleigh. And [...]

Day 100 of 101: New nest

Posted by Lindsay Beeson on . 4 comments.

This is my life right now. I couldn’t dream it to be any better. Our kitchen is beautiful, and I’m on the plum spot of putting it together for the first time. I’m trying to cherish each of these small moments (lining up spices in the pantry!). I have so much more to say, but [...]
