Back by popular demand, my adapted recipe for hobo cobbler. You can double this pretty easily if you need to. For two people, this is more than sufficient. I’ve adapted this recipe from the fine people over at Betty Crocker.  keep reading »

Clearly the stress has started to take its toll. My mind is breaking slowly, but certainly. Last night I had a dream that we had a dog, a big dog, named Buckley. At some point in the course of things, he was knighted by the Queen.

Apparently this was not according to the plan, because someone said, “We didn’t get into this just so Buckley could get knighted.”

So, next week, my mom is going to be staying with me for a few days. We’re planning on hitting the town, hanging out, seeing some shows and overall having an absurdly good time. Last night, I decided to test out some better-for-you snacks. I picked up some super tasty corn tortilla flat bread crackers, pepper jack cheese (was lazy, didn’t stop at the really yummy cheese place in town), and got some veg and hummus from Trader Joe’s.

Mmm, tasty treats

I won’t get into the details of it, but apparently it had a few issues which were ultimately solved by removing its protective case and restarting it every few days. Cut to present day dinner time in our apartment. Manfriend is microwaving a burrito and we’re idly conversing.

“I solved another problem with my phone,” he announced happily. keep reading »
