What? No Me?

So I can’t remember where but I read about this time wasting website HowManyofMe.com and I just knew I had to give it a try.  There are apparently 549 Melanie Taylors in the U.S. but when I typed in my maiden name it said there are 0 people with the last name of Mosesman.  What? … Continue reading What?

Pregnancy Cravings in Spain

My cravings change with the time of day.  Every meal it’s something different and when you grew up in one culinary culture it’s very hard to satisfy your crazy cravings when surrounded by another. You see I crave American food!  Last night I wanted a Cherry Coke Slushie, the kind you get at the movie… Continue reading Pregnancy Cravings in Spain

Restaurant Review – Restaurante Griego Helas

This past Saturday night found us at a Greek Restaurant near the Santa Justa train station in Sevilla.  Restaurante Griego Helas wasn’t hard to find but finding a parking space in that neighborhood was luck of the draw. We were almost 30 minutes late for an 8:15 PM reservation but it didn’t matter since we… Continue reading Restaurant Review – Restaurante Griego Helas

That’s Bulgogi!

As many of you know Joe and I just recently moved to Spain from Korea and one thing we greatly miss from our time in the Land of the Morning Calm is the food.  Going out for bulgogi or galbi was a weekly tradition.  We would return home with full bellies and clothing that smelled… Continue reading That’s Bulgogi!

Thankful Thursdays

I am thankful for feeling better these days.  My nausea has subsided but I am still tired a lot of the time.  I can’t sleep at night but then I can’t drag myself out of bed before 10 AM.  Thankfully though, I can now eat more than plain bagels and brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tarts. A… Continue reading Thankful Thursdays

Secret Shames

Last week one of my very close friends tagged me to list 3 secret shames.  I have been working all week on exactly which ones I wasn’t afraid to post for everyone to see. 1) I collect junk!  No really, it’s junk!  I have a stash of empty yogurt cups, paper towel and toilet paper… Continue reading Secret Shames
