  • Why Lance?

    Because the word blog sounds like something that comes out of a person's nose. This blog is named after my old friend Sarah's manifestation of a dreamy Wyoming cowboy named Lance.
  • About me

    I'm a journalist who spends my Mondays through Fridays writing other people's stories, a chronic procrastinator who needs structure. I once quit my job to write a book and like most writers, I made up excuses why I couldn't keep at it.

    My boyfriend fiancé husband Joe (and new baby Henry) like to sleep in late on the weekends, which means I end up browsing celebrity tabloid websites while our dog snores under the covers.

    I created Lance to better spend that time. I thought maybe it would jump start a second attempt at writing a novel.

    I'm itching to get The Move On, as my dad likes to say. I'm 26 27 28 29 and I'm afraid if I don't start now, I'll get caught up in something else.

    We all do.

Dinner Rehab #5: Friday night takeout dice

06 Aug 2010

Let fate decide your din-din.

I bet even prissy foodies order greasy takeout.

Joe and I are usually too lazy to cook on Fridays. We’re also too lazy to get dolled up and go out to dinner.

We’re SO LAZY we can’t even be bothered to CHOOSE what we want for dinner, so THIS is how we come to a decision. Big ups to Ro for giving us this ingenious little die.

Nine times out of 10 it lands on Mexican. Tonight it landed on Pizza. Perfect, beautiful Valentino’s cheese pizza. God bless Dinner Rehab #5.

PS. You too can have all you takeout decisions determined by fate. Takeout Decision Dice available at Abernook.

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..I knew you would like this. Remember how I had bought it for you for Christmas, though it was purchased in August and I kept meaning to take it out of my purse…and 4 Vodka Tonics in at your rehearsal dinner I found it while sitting next to you and tossed it over? I guess that’s the trouble with starting shopping that early.
    PS-you should write a Lance about that..I already have 2 gifts for my niece in the attic :)

    There are several things I want to say about this:

    1. Best idea ever.
    2. I want one.
    3. No, I’m not dead (ok, not about this, but the egocentric in me is strong tonight)
    4. The wedding is in 13 days. We’ll be back from our honeymoon on Sep 2nd. I’ll be back commenting, reading and possibly writing by then. (See the thing about my ego?)

    BAHAHAHA RICCI! OHMYGOD. Help! I’m old and boring. Does it sound better if I tell you that tonight Joe and I are cooking a romantic meal in? No dice.

    We were going to go see Norah Jones in Tampa, but for $45 a piece I decided we’d cook something lovely instead while listening to a Norah Jones album and drinking wine.

    Man, that sounds hopelessly middle aged too.

    Love those! Will have to get a set since I don’t like to cook on Friday nights either. Problem is – I’m trying to get rid of my baby weight to we don’t eat out a lot these days. Maybe I’ll wait until I’m back in shape and then get them!
