The Maiden Metallurgist's Profile

No technology. This rule is occasionally broken when I'm sick and in bed all day.

So cute!

We make lasagna every year.

Bagna Cauda- with napa cabbage crunchy veggies and crusty bread to dip.

Ooh! I'm knocked up this year and missing my Hot Buttered Rum something fierce, I will definitely be sampling one (or all) of these!

It's just us too, and I said to heck with it! I'm going all out! I'll enjoy the leftovers, and freeze some if I need to. But we're skipping the pie, becacuse we'd both rather have more mashed potatoes.

I use them in every room of our house, in the bathroom to hold cotton balls and qtips, as candle holders, as picture frames, my favorite drinking glass is a wide mouth jar, buttons, knitting needles, juice for work (love those reusable lids), seeds for the garden...

WhenI was single two of my go-to dinners were a big bowl of popcorn or a big bowl of spinach. Un fortunately, only one person in my relationship can happily eat that way.

I had an apartment once that had floor-to-ceiling windows- and floor-to-ceiling powder blue vertical shades that the landlord would not allow us to remove. I made some very long mini curtains liek the ones used for staging to cover the ugly shades.

Thanks for all the nice comments- I'll try to answer a few questions.

The Grey Pillow cases are Nicole Miller circa 1998- I fall in love with them again every summer when we swap out our winter bedding, so I just keep using them.

The radiators were painted the same color as the walls before we moved in, and it's working out just fine. They work well and the paint isn't chipping or peeling one bit.
