Here we are for Day 7 of the series of that I’m moving over from my old URL, while I’m recovering from shoulder surgery. Some of these books will be books that are part of my collection that I have found useful through the years, while others are books I come across in the library.

Anyway, I used to follow him before this book was even written. His food photography is absolutely amazing. If I only had enoug ..read more

Here we are for another Personal History Challenge Journaling post! What was my childhood home and neighborhood like? My grandparents house, although it was built in the 1940’s, was stuck in the 60s/70s with the shag carpet and large gaudy chandeliers. I loved it though. I felt safe and comfy there. My room was down the hallway in the back corner of the house on the left. Here I am before this actually became my room, when I was just a baby and would go visit. A few months later My favorite spot was in the front yard on the porch swing. We lived on the corner and the street on the side was a ..read more

She was a cook at Moosewood for 4 and half years. Here’s the 1 ..read more

When I started researching for this 31 days project, I knew I wanted a good Mexican cookbook. I found Rick Bayless’s cookbook called Authentic Mexican: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico.

I write privately in a journal app called Day One. They have a lot of series that you can join in and add to your journal, which I think are a lot of fun. Gives me something else to write about besides the normal day to day happenings.
