I’ve got the house to myself for a few days, with a ton of work to get through and an empty fridge. Last night, by the time I’d finished, I was too tired to go to the grocery store. That left me with some brussel sprouts from my garden, an onion, some fresh herbs, and some chick peas. Not exactly scintillating ingredients, but I managed to get a pretty satisfying roasted dish out of them.
As I was making quick … Read More
One of the ways I help myself miss Cait a little less is to text her. I was sharing outdoor survival tips from an article I was reading.

So combine one very sick animal and a wacko weather movie, and you won’t be surprised that I went looking for an app like this. It’s a great little app. If you decide to download it, … Read More
