*sigh* I have been a bad blogger. Like it or not, the start of another school year took over pretty much everything! Since my last post I’ve also accepted a playing job at the Fulton (violin for Gypsy). I’m extremely excited about this…pit orchestra is my favorite!

Plum Butter and Other Assorted Happiness
Things that bring me great happiness: 1. Old kitchen things. I don’t mean new things that are made in a vintage style (although that’s also sort of neat); I mean actual old things.

I don’t mind paying good money for good food, but there is … Continue reading
Random Pasta (A Mix of Summer Vegetables)
