The 32nd Flavor

by Kim 05.31.2006 Play

On Memorial Day Jason and I went to a cook-out at our friends’ house. I wasn’t prepared for the dessert they had planned. They made "spaghetti ice cream!" No, I don’t mean spaghetti flavored ice cream…nasty! (This is not Baskin-Robbins’ newest flavor.) They served us ice cream that looked just like spaghetti noodles, topped with [...]

Little Cubs Field

by Jason 05.30.2006 Delight in the Little Things

Now here’s a story that will warm any baseball fan’s — and especially a Cubs fan’s — heart. I got an e-mail the other day from Dennis Garkey, the president of a non-profit group called Build Little Cubs Field.

by Kim 05.28.2006 Be Honest

Jason and I got a chance to catch an episode of "Honey We’re Killing the Kids" the other night on TLC. I was, like many people, intrigued by the concept.

Tonight Kim and I had the privilege of babysitting our goddaughter Isabella. We took a field trip to the park.

Six Years of Childlike Wonder

by Jason 05.21.2006 Adultitis

As Kim mentioned in her latest post, we celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary yesterday. After picking up some delectable morel mushrooms at the Farmer’s Market, we had lunch at Ian’s Pizza (Mac and Cheese pizza for Kim, Philly Cheesesteak for me.) Then we toured the new Madison Museum of Contemporary Art and the Olbrich Botanical [...]

Foods Collide

by Kim 05.21.2006 Delight in the Little Things

Yesterday Jason and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. Man, the way this marriage is flying, we’ll be up to 60 before we know it.
Jason had the whole day planned by the time I awoke to breakfast in bed. (He makes the best scrambled eggs!) After enjoying the spring weather as we bummed around [...]
