Budapest Part Deux
A part 2 of my favorite spots in Budapest/an excuse to research Hot Shots Part Deux gifs. Places: Cake & Beer A relatively new pub (they opened in November 2016) the name says it all. Cake & beer (and also card games). The beer was great–we tried the Ubik Eklektik Herbál IPA, Budapest–and it was really…

Cooking with Porkchop & Ike: Roasted Red Pepper Pasta for All
We’ve all got friends with dietary restrictions. When you’re cooking for people who eat meat, don’t eat meat, eat fish but not cheese, have a gluten allergy, or whatever might come up, it can be difficult to make a good meal that doesn’t leave anyone out. This recipe can not only be used for any occasion…

Things I’m Loving 12.31.2016
I’m a little late with these, but its been a crazy week! Final 2016 edition of reflections. To Watch: Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul Phew. We binge-watched Breaking Bad in about a week and a half; I honestly didn’t think that my heart or nerves could handle it. One of the best shows of all…

How USA Gymnastics Mishandled Sexual Abuse Allegations for 20 Years
[update: For a further update, please read part two, three, and four.] Things could not have been better for USA Gymnastics at the 2016 Olympics.

My Great Grandparents are Victims of Elder Abuse.
When my Mom called Friday night to tell me that my Great Grandpa was in the hospital because of a heart attack, I honestly wasn’t too concerned. Even at age 93 I knew he’d make it through. He always does. Saturday I woke up to eight missed calls and immediately thought oh my god someone died. It hit me.…

Coffee, a Church, and a Castle: Our Trip to Bratislava, Slovakia
Last weekend Chris and I visited the capital of nearby Slovakia, Bratislava. Slovakia: An Extremely Brief History of the Country From 1000 (no joke) to Present But seriously, read more about Slovakia. Artifacts dating from 270,000 BC have been found. Originally annexed into the Kingdom of Hungary (1000-1918), the Slovaks mutually merged with Bohemia, Moravia,…

Cooking with Porkchop & Ike: Lazy Girl’s Coconut Curry Soup
I really enjoy cooking. I love trying new things and putting together large meals for the people I love. But let’s be real, when the winter weather rolls in and it starts getting dark earlier, I’m 100% Team Soup. I’m talking soup that doesn’t take a hundred years to put together and is going to…

Good Food and Getting Lost: Our First Weekend in Budapest
Last month Chris and I spent the weekend in the Jewish Quarter of Budapest (VII or Erzsébetváros). Located on the Pest side of the Danube, this area is known as the Jewish Quarter because it was the location of the Jewish ghetto established in Budapest in 1944. Now, 70 years later, this portion of the…

Things I’m Loving 10.25.2016
To Watch: Peaky Blinders and The Office (again) Similar to House of Cards, Peaky Blinders has been on my list forever and I’m just now getting around to watching it. If you haven’t seen the show I definitely recommend it; Cillian Murphy plays the leader of the Peaky Blinders, a criminal gang in post WWI England. The…

Stinky Cheese & Climbing Mountains: Lake Como, Italy
Last month we were able to meet up with a couple of friends from Charleston visiting Italy on vacation. This was our first first trip outside of Hungary! Unfortunately Chris’s mission was delayed so we could only spend one full day there (luckily we got there super early the day before and left really late the day…
