Life Outside of the Kitchen: February 2016
It’s a leap year! How did you spend your extra day of February? Even if you had to work (like me) I hope you found something fun to do, I mean, February 29th only comes around every 4 years 😉
I celebrated with chocolate. Because chocolate is my life. Oh, and three a glass of wine, too.
I’m not going to lie – February is one of those blah months for me. When I was still back in Minnesota, February was the worst; the cold, bleak, dirty snow just keeping you stuck inside and the sun still isn’t out when you really want it to be. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes it’s a real struggle. Luckily down here in North Carolina the sun is starting to stay out until 6:00, making spring feel closer than it is.
We got an espresso maker this month – which means I’ve been spending my weekends editing photos with homemade espresso drinks of all kinds.
And because we’ve been friends for a while, I’m willing to share with you this awful selfie for the sake of creme brulee. Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee to be exact. Cahhh-bammmm-ohmyyygooood! It’s so good. SO. GOOD.
So let me tell you, the BF said a few months back he would never do a puzzle with me because, in nicer words, he thought I would be too bossy much of a leader with my puzzle skills. Now, normally he would be totally right – I must admit that sometimes I think my way is the best way. But with a puzzle, I knew we would be a-okay. So this month, we put it to the test.
And guess what, it went smoother than that creme brulee! Who was right about that?! 😉

How was your February? I hope that even if your days are still short, you’re finding ways to cope (I recommend a nice glass of Merlot, a scented candle, warm cookies, and a puzzle).
