Santa, you're an a$$hole!

When it came to starting our own blog, we just did not know how to get this bitch started. After much consideration, we'd like to take a moment to introduce you to two fine ladies. We are Sarah and Rachel, two twenty something sisters with witty rants, tasty recipes, and unique views on life. We became inspired to start this blog after a great holiday season with our parents and after attending what will be our absolute last candle party.

Why are our views of the world unique you ask? Our parents. (Hi Mom and Dad!) Our conservative Catholic upbringing juxtaposed against our free-for-all adulthoods has brought us to an interesting crossroad.

As children, we spent our days sled riding and drinking hot cocoa in our quaint Pittsburgh neighborhood; always being reminded of our manners and our need to eat a well balanced meal. We went to Catholic school, church on Sunday mornings, and were tucked into bed by 9:00PM.

Something changed as we entered adulthood.

Our entire nuclear family underwent an evolution. Our parents suddenly became people. They were no longer manners police or judgmental disciplinarians, they were all at once far from it. We changed as well. As we sit in our Ikea-centric apartments, sipping beer, and baking cookies we have come to the realization that we are NOT the sweet children that we once were.

This is not to imply that we are not wonderful people, but it has given us our quirks. So, we hope that you'll stick around for our many adventures in the kitchen and elsewhere, as the dynamic duo guides you through the mess that we call life.

Welcome. Sit back, fix yourself a drink (a stiff one), and enjoy the ride!
