My wife is an exceptionally committed mother. In the 3409 nights that have passed since Aspen’s birth, Jenn has spent but a handful of nights away from her girls.
- 6 nights to be with her mom as she fought off cancer
- 2 nights to give birth to Oakley
- 2 nights to give birth to Lindy
Seriously, Jenn is hardcore. (Mind you, I don’t believe go away from your kids for a night is a failing on the part of a mother or a father… I’ve been away for the last 8 nights, and I’m sitting in an airport now, but it does show a certain level of commitment on Jenn’s part.)
Finally, though, circumstances presented themselves in such a way that Jenn chose to join me for a long weekend in New York City! How cool is that? So, I thought I’d share with you, our loyal readers, some of my favorite memories from the trip…

Jenn’s too humble to mention it, but I think this is totally cool. Her post on Oatmeal Bread is being featured on Saveur’s Best of the Web right now.
That’s my wife!

Some of you come here all the time, and have no idea that Jenn was just featured in the Williamson AM part of the Tennessean today. If that’s news to you, go check it out right here! The folks at Williamson AM got in touch with us after they noticed a few of Jenn’s recipes on Twitter.
The rest of you are probably here because of the article, and I say to you, “Welcome”. We’re thrilled you’ve come to check out some recipes… If you’d like to see the two recipes mentioned in the article, you can find them complete with pictures and everything here.
Jenn loves comments and questions. If you’ve got anything to ask or just want to say hello, please do it! If you just want to look through the recipes, you can do that in our “food” category. We’re so glad you’re here.

I have to chime in with some midday congratulations for Jenn. She recently came upon a site called tastespotting.com. Essentially, it’s a collection of beautiful food pictures that point through to blog posts behind them. It’s nothing short of curated food porn (only the hottest culinary treats are welcome).
Well, last night Jenn got up the gumption to submit one of her pictures and the associated recipe to see if they might accept it. And you know what?
They did.
When I first visited, I happened to catch it on the front page! (Since then, it’s probably dropped off as they’ve published other pictures as well. But I captured a screen shot for posterity.)
How awesome is that?!
If you want to click through to see it, I’ve saved a search for you. Simply click here and you can see her picture on their website. And of course, you’re more than welcome to click though to her recipe!
Congratulations on your sexy food, honey!

A week ago, we took a recommendation from Jay and Stephanie and headed out to the Harpeth River for a bit of canoeing. We had a great time on the river. Exploring, swimming, eating some lunch, the whole thing was awesome. The girls were great… it was just a great experience.

Well, we’re returning to a bit of normalcy after getting robbed (literally) a week or so ago. We’ve finally been allowed to replace the computer, monitor, and camera that are really a regular part of our routine. And so, blogging and excessive life recording may now resume!
Something that doesn’t stop these days is tomato production, and we’re grateful for it. Our window sills often look just like this…

We had ourselves a great “little” trip this summer. The beach, Milwaukee, and fully 23 days away from home. We are very fortunate.
The downside, though, to a big trip around which your summer is built is this. When the trip ends, it feels as if summer has ended as well. Seventeen days from right now, we’ll be walking down the driveway to catch the school bus.
So, I have to admit it; I’m a little sad. Summer is fun.

Each summer over the last 14 years, I’ve made the same joke. “I’m going to the beach with 30 of Jenn’s closest relatives.”
No one ever believes me… not until now. Now I have proof.

Ask yourself this… are you ready for a throwdown?
—Bobby Flay
Bobby Flay has a show on The Food Network in which he travels the country challenging various cooks to make their favorite dish in a competition with him.
A couple of days ago, Angie suggested that sharing Oakley’s hula hooping skills wouldn’t be enough… We needed to provide some context… We need to know from whence she got her skills.
And so, the Hula Hoop Throwdown was born. Was I ready for a throwdown? Yes I was.
