who dis?
Welcome to My Kitchen….or The Jungle.… or My Nightmare!
I am Agatha Strange.
I am not a professional chef, I am not a home chef, I am not a foodie.
I am not a nutritionist or dietician.
I am not a professional movie critic, I am not a photographer, nor am I someone you should ask for parenting or life advice from.
I am, however, an expert of self-deprecation and writing run-on sentences, who swears often, loves to eat but not to cook, and whose definition of quality time with family is turning on a movie together and passing out before the movie is over.
I grew up in the Midwest where it is par for the course to be locked up in the house for six months of the year because mother nature is trying to kill us slowly. Since my partner, my kids, and I are all cooped up in this house sharing this weird ass journey called life together, and since I don’t know what I am doing in the kitchen, I am trying to get them to do all the cooking instead. I MEAN I am trying to teach them how to cook...yeah, teach them how to cook, that is what I meant. Spending some forced quality time with me and watching me hot mess my way through the kitchen should at least teach them what not to do… ya know, in theory.
Cheesy theme parties are my jam, an appetite of mine that Pinterest feeds feverishly. But instead of just scrolling and pinning a bunch of fabulous ideas I will never use, I felt it was a better idea to start creating posts of my own for others to pin and never use. With my love of movies, useless trivia, mom jokes, and futile attempts at engaging with the little humans in my life, I felt I could weave a rich tapestry for you all to collectively roll your eyes at, at least that is what the little humans do. Consider it my contribution to you and to the world. You’re welcome!
So, if you are fumbling around on the internet looking for something to troll, or for inspiration on things to do (or not to do) with your loved ones, or just want a good chuckle or eye roll, then THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!
Grab your kids, your partner, your friends, your favorite foods and popcorn, and keep your fire extinguisher charged, baking soda on hand, and fresh batteries in your smoke detector (if for nothing more than my own peace of mind) and lets enjoy this messy ass ride called life together, and join me in being Strange.
