My Mini Maniac

Sexy Nerd's dream since before we even met has been to own a Mini Cooper. Yeah...that was news to me too! Clearly, jealousy has been eating away at Sexy Nerd ever since I got my 2013 Chevy Volt . Poor guy. I personally have never understood the Mini Cooper appeal. In fact, I tried to sway Sexy Nerd's choice from a used Mini Cooper S Hardtop to a Scion iQ while we were negotiating a deal at the Toyota dealership. It was brand-new, got much better gas mileage, and cost less than the used car he wanted. It even looked just as goofy! I don't get it. He sure loves his new (to him, at least) car though. "Did the Scion have a sunroof?" smart-alec Sexy Nerd just asked me, knowing full well that it did not. He loved the Mini Cooper even more after removing the stinky air fresheners hidden inside every vent. At first, Sexy Nerd had his heart set on British Racing Green, but he came around on this color after deciding that it complements his hat.

Linky Party! It's time for a Blog Hop

Sexy Nerd has been looking forward to today. He has the day off and his plan was to "walk off into the mountains with Pica". I'm fairly certain he meant he was taking her hiking, not ditching me and Biscuit forever, but either way, the weather today is lousy. And the allergens ! Oh, it's awful here in Albuquerque. AH-CHOO! At least Sexy Nerd had the day off. I'm typing this from my computer at work. It's my lunch break. Really truly! And now...

Pasta With Tuna And Bok Choy Recipe

It's ridiculous how quick, easy, cheap, and delicious this recipe is. And by using bok choy, people will think you've cooked something fancy! I used this flavored tuna, but regular tuna would work just fine. You can always squeeze a little lemon juice into it if you want. I had a coupon! Start some spaghetti boiling, then fry bok choy, bell pepper, and garlic. I only had 1/2 of a bok choy to use. An entire bok choy would have been much, much better! Add tuna. You see why I wish I'd had more bok choy? Wimpy! Now, doesn't this look so much better than boring old spaghetti with marinara sauce? Pasta with Tuna and Bok Choy: 1 can or pouch of tuna 8oz spaghetti 1 bok choy 1 Tbsp minced garlic 1/2 C diced bell pepper 3 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp Pepper Sprinkle of onion Salt 2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning Juice from 1/2 a lemon (optional) 2 Tbsp Butter Parmesan cheese Boil spaghetti While spaghetti is boiling, heat ol

Linky Alert! BLOG HOP with LambAround

No new (old) house yet. Hmmm...what to do? WHAT TO DO??? On one hand, our current house is perfect, except for the neighborhood. On the other hand, the prospective house is awful, except for the neighborhood. (In other words, I would appreciate some advice from my genius blog readers!)
