Fall TV

It was not until I got married that I became a regular TV watcher.   During high school and college my schedule was constantly changing and I just simply did not watch a whole lot of TV.   In fact I really had no idea how other people watched so much TV.   Marriage and working does this whole number on the spontaneity of life which in return allows for regular TV watching.

There is also this weird honeymoon phase of marriage after your actual honeymoon where it is quite possibly the most romantic thing to sit on the couch together and watch TV and grow fat.    You just want to sit there with your honey and snuggle right in front of the Tube.   Everything else lessens in comparison to the complete joy it is to watch TV with your new spouse knowing that neither of you have to drive home after your show ends.    I think it is comparable to the first semester of college when you realize that your mom will not be waiting up for you in your dorm room, and the only things keeping you from not coming home at 4:00 in the morning is some sense of responsibility that she constantly tried to instill in you for 18 years.

All of this being said I am still somewhat ashamed of our TV schedule.  I used to make fun of people who categorized TV like this, but hey people change and now I am one of them!  This is more of wish list that really only Hulu and DVR can truly fulfill.   Here is what we in the Hill House like to watch on TV:





Please add in copious amounts of foodnetwork and the occasional 30 Rock!

Great kitchens :)

I love to cook.   This is not a secret.   Whenever I have any type of gathering in my kitchen I cook up a storm and force them to eat whether they want to or not.   This previous weekend we had 5 couples stay with us because of Daniel Weizel's wedding.   As soon as we walked into the door post wedding I adorned an apron and made two prosciutto pizzas.   Everyone thought I was working too hard but really I just could not give up the opportunity of having so many people gathered around in my house not eating!  So thank you everyone who I forced pizza upon at 12:15 in the morning!

I love to cook and I am SHORT - like 5'2 short.   When I found this kitchen below on one of my favorite blogs I want that kitchen I knew I just had to show y'all.  Below is a kitchen equipped with ladders.  It is a beautiful thing!  One day I would LOVE to have this kitchen.  Until then I will have to continue to ask my tall 6'4 husband to get things down for me that I cannot reach!
