I am a self-admitted grocery shop-aholic but even I can see that one girl spending $370 on groceries for one and a half people (The.Boy and I don’t eat together every night, after all…but when we do, he eats for two so it’s kind of a rough estimate) in one week…is a little much.

No, LITERALLY. It’s a little much.

Which is exactly what I told my credit card company yesterday morning when I, during my almost daily obsessive checking of my bank account and credit card statements, spotted not one.

Not two.

But three fraudulent charges. All made on Tuesday.

Oh yes, little credit card thief…you went to all the trouble of stealing someone’s credit card number and all you got to buy was two hundred dollar’s worth of pantry staples and possibly a whole lot of organic veggies. But probably, since you’re a pretty bad person, I’m imagining (wishing) you to be ugly and artery-clogged…so in all likelihood you bought two hundred dollars’ worth of stale donuts to try to make you feel better about yourself when really, they’re just going to go to your thighs and bring you one step closer to a heart attack. So you needn’t have bothered.

So….apparently I can be a bit vindictive when provoked. It happens.

White Chocolate Blondies #LeftoversClub

Break out your big girl (or boy) pants because we are eating dessert TWICE this week.

Lucky. Us.

Last month I decided to join in on The Leftovers Club which is basically a fun way to get rid of those leftover desserts that you know you shouldn’t be eating…in exchange for someone else’s leftover desserts that you know you shouldn’t be eating. Totally my kind of club.

This month I was paired with the super cool Ruthy of Omeletta. Since we both live in Manhattan, we decided it would be way more fun (and cost effective!) to meet up and exchange our leftovers rather than spend money shipping them just a few miles.  I baked up these white chocolate blondies and it was a good thing they were going to another home because I would have had no problem devouring the whole batch! The insides of these babies were gooey fudge central.

In exchange, Ruthy made me some lemon apple hot toddy bars.  Yeah they were pretty much as good as they sound.  Which is to say…amazeballs.

The learning curve for dating a food blogger is steep.  Not only are you handed a whole new culinary lexicon to commit to memory (the.boy may not necessarily know the difference between bulgur and quinoa, but he can use them in a sentence!) but there are also a whole slew of new holidays that you must commit to memory and really should try to remind your girlfriend about ahead of time (for example, by saying “hey sweetie, so what are you going to post on your blog for “insert food holiday here” in two weeks?).  And if you happen to buy her a present for said holiday…so much the better. Especially in the case of World Nutella Day. (cough cough wink wink nudge nudge).

The.Boy and I have started watching Shark Tank together, which, for those of you who don’t know, is a reality tv show in which aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their business ventures to a panel of potential investors who can then either make an offer or not depending on how promising the enterprise seems like it will be and/or how annoying the contestant is.

Generally what this consists of is The.Boy yelling his commentary at my iPad screen while I complain that no one on the show comes close to Patrick Dempsey’s good looks, so shouldn’t we really be spending our time watching Grey’s Anatomy instead?
