Trying not to try too hard. Nog, wine, barley tea and ponche. January 13, 2011. When we got home, we were always thrilled to have yet again received a Christmas Eve visit from Mrs Claus, whose great secret talent is picking out cute Christmas pajamas and a good storybook. I also couldn’t believe how much I missed home. I was in LA, and it was my first Christmas away from the five people closest to me in the world. 8221; My mom said. “I… can see snow on the mountains! 8221; I replied, not even wearing a c...

Trying not to try too hard. T-Day in the Big Ditch. November 5, 2010. So, Halloween is great and everything, but one of my favorite things about it is that it marks the beginning of When It’s Okay to Start Publicly Talking About Thanksgiving Dinner. Last year, I had two Thanksgivings. Well, three, actually! You grab the family and head down into this:. And yes, he has the Brother of the Year award on lock. For the next decade. The key with designing this Thanksgiving menu has been to incorporate the trad...

BITA: Wild-rice salad | the lovely ride
https://emiliejolie.wordpress.com/2007/05/07/bita-wild-rice-salad
Trying not to try too hard. May 7, 2007. Notice the lack of BITA posts? And just like that, I’m back. I probably spent more time in my kitchen this weekend than all of April. And how lovely it was! I already spoke of the pie. Perhaps later this week I will wax poetically about the spring chicken salad. But today, I gush about the Wild-Rice Salad. I cannot find it online, but if you run into a $1 Magazine Guy, pick up the blue. 2/3 cup wild rice. 2/3 cup brown rice. 1/2 cup olive oil. 3 T Champagne vinegar.

Twenty-eight: The interview | the lovely ride
https://emiliejolie.wordpress.com/2009/09/30/twenty-eight-the-interview
Trying not to try too hard. September 30, 2009. Now that I think about it, this isn’t the first birthday I’ve celebrated at 30,000 feet. When I was four we flew to Florida, and while I can’t swear that I turned five in the sky, there is definitely a photo of me in a birthday dress sitting on a plane wearing a necklace that says “I AM FIVE.” Close enough! I got to expense a martini. Score! All I’m left to do is wonder why I got on the plane without an “I AM TWENTY-EIGHT” necklace. The more languages you s...

Trying not to try too hard. October 3, 2007. A new birthday tradition here at The Lovely Ride! Each year, I’ll have a friend ask me five questions…or maybe five friends ask me one question…or who knows. First up, my lovely roommate, Lindsy. The one thing I know for sure about my true love is…. He is a morning person. He puts away laundry after I fold it, because I hate that part. He wants to go on adventures. His eyes are most beautiful when he smiles. And his name is Gabriel Garcia Bernal. I know, I kno...

Peacock in the road | the lovely ride
https://emiliejolie.wordpress.com/2011/05/24/peacock-in-the-road
Trying not to try too hard. Peacock in the road. May 24, 2011. If given the opportunity, one of my internal switchs I would flip into the ON position is the one labeled “Wake up in the morning with the desire to work out.”. I’d give you an example, but they’re all too embarrassing. Does this happen to anyone else? Still, the way my days go make it undeniable: If I’m going to work out on any sort of regular basis, it’s got to get done in the morning. Say something nice and funny and light! We slowed when ...
