Natalie & Christopher in Germany

Hey there!

We are Natalie and Christopher. We blog about life in the suburbs of Orlando, FL with no kids and one dog. Thanks for checking in.

Rainy nights are the best

Today at work I knocked out all of my to do list plus helped out a friend, who went to Bonnaroo on vacation, with some work of hers. I am an A+ employee, I tell you what. Anyway, after I got home Chris and I had a very healthy dinner, hot dogs and frozen mac and cheese... what a lame wife... but now I am making French Onion Soup from scratch. It takes a while to make and I get home close to 8:00 so It's not something I can really whip up for dinner after work. I have never made French Onion Soup before but I think it's going well so far. I am using a recipe from Smitten Kitchen, so far this is the third recipe I've used from her and hopefully I'll make it work.

Right after dinner it started to storm. I love the rain. It sounds so pretty and smells so good, it makes things look shiny and new, it's amazing.

Chris and I love Conan O'Brien. We record every Conan. Last night we were watching an episode that Tim Minchin was the performance guest and he is hilarious. See video below.



I just happen to be half ginger and come from a line of Gingers about as long as Conan's legs. I have mostly red hair, even though it's getting darker as I grow old, I have see through skin and a set of freckles that is hard to match. So this song made me laugh pretty hard. I hope you enjoyed it.

Now back to Onion Soup. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.
