Yesterday I received this in the mail.
And this is how it made me feel.
In fact that dopey grin will most likely cover my face for at least a week after this unexpected gift from a dear friend – whom I’ve never met. Inside this box was a tightly wrapped loaf of apple bread.
Yeah, that’s right. [...]
NaBloWriMo – yes. I’m crazy.
October 31, 2009 – 11:28 pm
So I think I’m going to do it.
NaBloWriMo that is.
I know you are probably as shocked as I am.
“She’s going to write a new post everyday for a month? She barely manages to squeak out one a week.”
First of all – don’t be so rude. Secondly, I’m crazy. Crazy and wanting a challenge – because [...]

Strong Cheese
February 25, 2009 – 4:27 am
I made this recipe all the way back in January and I can not believe that I have waited until now to post it. Do not let my dilly dallying rub off on you. Raid your cheese drawer and make this recipe a.s.a.p.
Frugality is not something I excel in. Being a passionate foodie [...]
Tasting Chocolate
February 18, 2009 – 3:54 am
Many people suggest that the first year of marriage is the hardest (I’ve also heard the seventh is a tough one – we’ll see about that) but I look on that year with great fondness.
My husband and I made it our mission to try nearly every restaurant in Seattle. We kept a notebook about where [...]
