• Katy Perry visits the Naval Academy

    I don’t have very highfalutin taste in music, y’all. I love Britney, Gaga and Shakira. I frequently tune the satellite radio to 80s on 8. And I will listen to just about anything (except Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Ace of Base and Neil Young. I have my limits). So I was kind of excited when I […]

  • Michael Phelps is dirty

    I’m sorry I haven’t been posting more, y’all. I have a ton of recipes to share… I just haven’t had any time to actually post them. In the meantime, as a blog with the word “swim” in the title, I feel I am required to share with you the following commercial… which features Michael Phelps […]

  • Dance with somebody

    Because this was my favorite song in elementary school (I’m surprised I didn’t wear the tape out)… Because I never really liked “I will always love you” (sorry Dolly) and I am really sick of hearing it now… And because this might be the most 80s-tastic/rad video ever… [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfPOXmT9HMA]

  • Photos I meant to post in 2011

    I’m sorry I wasn’t more consistent in my posting last year. I am going to try to be better in 2012. But while I still have some recipes hanging around that I can post when the time is right, there are a few things that I really should have posted ages ago. Here goes. We […]

  • Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas! From your friendly neighborhood weirdos. (We were wearing those costumes for a holiday pub crawl. I promise.)

  • Michael Phelps in Annapolis

    As I mentioned the other day, Michael Phelps was swimming at the Naval Academy this weekend — as in, within walking distance of our apartment. So of course we had to go see him swim at least one event. As we walked into Lejeune Hall, we ran into some of our neighbors, who pointed out […]

  • Army-Navy week!

    I’m really sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Things have been kinda crazy around here. Toby got promoted (yay!) and I’ve been doing all sorts of job-search-related activities, plus I baked about four dozen cookies for the Food Blogger Cookie Swap… and then decided those cookies didn’t look pretty enough so I baked another […]

  • The Mobbies

    I am a little late on this, but I wanted to thank everyone who voted for me in the Mobbies (the Baltimore Sun’s best blog contest). I didn’t win, but I did make the top 10 in food blogs this year. Last year, you could see how everyone was ranking all the way through, but […]

  • Cake Spy visits Baltimore

    Are you guys familiar with Cake Spy? She has a magical pink blog with unicorns on it. Seriously. She also does all sorts of sugary experiments and creates super cute art. You should definitely check it out. Jessie (her real name) just published an awesome cookbook — with recipes for things like Cadbury creme eggs […]
