Garlic and Lime Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip Recipe

On January 23, 2020January 23, 2020 By LeahIn CookingLeave a comment

There was a time in my life when I dreamed of becoming a Registered Dietitian. I would write recipes in my free time and I always baked cupcakes for my friends and cooked on the weekends. Then, while in a Masters program in Boston, I would teach cooking classes with names like "Naturally Nutritious" and …

Open Mic, Take Two

On January 13, 2020 By JeffIn WritingLeave a comment

Tonight I’m going to do another reading at Scuppernong Books. The event starts at 6:30, so if anyone happens to be in the area, please feel free to stop by (in Greensboro, on Elm Street)! As mentioned, last time I read a very short story which I had published before. I was a little nervous …

Traditional Holiday Book Club Gift Exchange Party

On December 14, 2019 By JeffIn BooksLeave a comment

Our book club had a Christmas party. And confession: neither Leah nor I read the book. It was The Which Way Tree, by Elizabeth Crook. From reading the back, and from what I heard, it’s a retelling of Moby Dick in the Western style, with a woman trying to track down and kill a panther …

A Brief Open Mic Night Update

On December 10, 2019December 10, 2019 By JeffIn WritingLeave a comment

If anyone was curious, my first reading at an open mic went well! I wasn’t quite sure how it would go, so I read a story that I’d already finished—Everyone’s Favorite Couple, which was published last year. It came out to three minutes at a steady pace, which fit pretty well in the allotted seven …

Open Mic Advice, Anyone?

On December 8, 2019December 8, 2019 By JeffIn Writing7 Comments

On Monday I’m going to my very first open mic (where I'm participating, anyway). I’ve been trying to get more plugged into the local writing scene, and a writing friend I’ve made invited me. People get up and read for five to seven minutes at a local bookstore, and then people clap, and give feedback, …

Back from Spring Break on the Oregon Coast!

On April 2, 2019 By JeffIn Travel5 Comments

Leah and I just got back from the Oregon coast. So hopefully this explains why the ole’ blog hasn’t had too many updates recently. Also, it looks like we’ll be moving soon (more on that in the coming weeks!), though we’ll be staying in the same general area. So why the Oregon coast, and especially …

Our Fancy Christmas “Tree”

On December 12, 2018January 12, 2019 By JeffIn Favorites2 Comments

It’s far enough after Thanksgiving to put up a Christmas tree, or “Christmas tree.” Yes, pictured is a corn plant, which I actually got at the biannual plant sale here in Greensboro a few months back. If you didn’t know, our neighboring city of High Point is the furniture capital of America/the world, and twice …

Surviving the Snowpocalypse / We Were in a Wedding, p. 1

On December 10, 2018December 10, 2018 By JeffIn Adventure5 Comments

On Friday Leah and I stayed the night in Elkin, NC. On Saturday we were in a wedding, and it was the first wedding I’ve ever been a part of, in fact, besides my own. And the wedding went off without a hitch (well, I guess it went off with just one—ha!). Then on Sunday …

My First Time Voting In Person

On November 6, 2018 By JeffIn AdventureLeave a comment

Two weeks ago was my very first time in a voting booth. Until last year I had always been an Oregonian, and in Oregon you vote by mail. My own personal bias is that this is a better system—research generally shows all-state voting-by-mail increases voter turnout, as it is very convenient, and I think it …

Morning Glory Muffin Recipe

On September 30, 2018February 23, 2019 By LeahIn Cooking1 Comment

Jeff and I frequent the Greensboro Curb Farmer's Market as often as we can. We will grab coffee, Jeff will grab a donut or two (hot, fresh, made with sweet potato batter) from Yeehaw Donuts, and I will often grab a morning glory muffin from my favorite, Amy's Bakery. Their muffins are made with bran and …
