I have added a few new titles in life - wife and mom. These new roles involve two other people that I spend most of my of time and energy on. To keep me sane, I plan to satisfy a craving a day. Let it be eating delicious food by releasing my inner foodie, could be finishing a race to push myself further than I thought, might be working on different crafts to fulfill my desire of creativity, or might be something as simple as saving a ton of money with a great coupon.

Hello my name is Chelsea and I have an addiction.

I will not have a craving for soft shell crab anytime soon…definitely had plate envy of everyone at my table. I now know I am not a fan.

You have to love the first time your toes touch the sand!

Man am I a jealous girl right now…my folks get to spend the weekend with my sis and her hubby. I’m trying to be happy for them, but I wish it was me visiting good ol’ ATL. I’ll be there soon enough, mark my words!

Anyone catch a mistake on my current art project? And I will sadly admit I did it 6 more times! Six! Seis! Sechs!

I thought it would be fun to put together a little bingo game for the wedding I’m going to attend, but I might have gone a little overboard. Puffy paint, rhinestones, colored paper…I’m refraining from pulling out the hot glue gun. Just hope I don’t mess up my manicure.

Today I tried oyako donburi for the first time and man was it good!

Oyakodon (親子丼?), literally “parent-and-child donburi”, is a donburi, or Japanese rice bowl dish, in which chicken, egg, sliced scallion (or sometimes regular onions), and other ingredients are all simmered together in a sauce and then served on top of a large bowl of rice. The name of the dish is a poetic reflection of the fact that both chicken and egg are used in the dish.

The simmering sauce varies according to season, ingredients, region, and taste. A typical sauce might consist of dashi flavored with soy sauce and mirin. Proportions vary, but usually there is three to four times as much dashi as soy sauce and mirin. 

I think I will now look for this dish at local restaurants since it might be my new favorite dish!

I’ve got worms! Anyone seeing a trend in my sugar obsession?? Ugh make it stop, but get me a new bag first.

You know your day is starting off great when the guy at Starbucks doesn’t ask for your name, but instead writes “roc star” on the cup.

Probably helps my shirt said certified ROC star (stands for Ridiculous Obstacle Course) - which was a race finishers shirt. I’ll take the awesome cup name any day!
