Clem – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ilinap · March 7, 2014 ·

    The worst thing about winter for me is the lack of fresh fruit. Okay, it's not really the worst. Suffice it to say I hate everything about winter. Except the boots. I do love me some boots. Around here we eat our weight in citrus. I always have a bowl … [Read more...] about Clem – 5:00 Fridays TM

Classic Greyhound w/ a Flowery Twist – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ilinap · February 28, 2014 ·

I've been going through my closet recently. I realize just how sentimental some clothes can be. I still have a pair of jeans from high school. They are threadbare and tattered (and still fit!). I am quick to part with most everything else. It's been a literal and emotional purge … [Read more...] about Classic Greyhound w/ a Flowery Twist – 5:00 Fridays TM

Paddy O’Beers – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ilinap · December 13, 2013 ·

  I like beer. Let me rephrase. I like good beer. This might be a taste of the obvious, but it's amazing how many people don't have discriminating taste when it comes to their brew. I don't like run o' the mill watery beer that you can find at a truck stop. I don't like … [Read more...] about Paddy O’Beers – 5:00 Fridays TM

Winter Sangria – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ilinap · November 29, 2013 ·

  I have always loved sangria. Ever since we got home from Barcelona I have been craving it. Sangria is often consumed under the warmth of the sun, hence our love affair with this libation under the Barcelona sunset. With winter's chill I continue to think about … [Read more...] about Winter Sangria – 5:00 Fridays TM

Totally Worth It – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ilinap · November 22, 2013 ·

There are times that the only resuscitation that works for a mom who's held her breath and counted to 10 one too many times is the company of girlfriends. This mom rarely gets that kind breathing room. As much as I love my family, sometimes my patience is so tattered and frayed … [Read more...] about Totally Worth It – 5:00 Fridays TM
