Time Away

My goodness, it is March 21st.  I last blogged in January, and it feels like that was ages ago.  If you know me well, then you know my life has been full of changes, transitions, and distractions since that last blog post.  I got a new job, I moved to Athens, and I'm adjusting to not exercising three days a week or being able to bake at two o'clock in the afternoon.  It's going to take some time.

In the meantime I feel like I should at least leave a few breadcrumbs of what I've been doing the past two months while I've been on blogging hiatus.  It's not much, but I hope to write a proper post this weekend.  But for now, enjoy these photos and tidbits...

My carrot cake for a charity bake sale.  My friend Jody paid a whopping $30 for it.

Peanut brittle and vegetarian French onion soup.

Fresh carrots from the Athens Farmer's Market.  See them steamed and honey glazed below.

Homemade potato and onion pirogi.  So, so, so good.



Whole Spelt butter cookies made with grain from Shagbark Seed & Mill Company.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Beer sampling at the Great Lakes Brewing Company with Tiffany and her mom Sherrie and my Mom and Dad.

Delicious Cleveland beer.

My Mom's birthday celebration at a fabulous restaurant in

Downtown Willoughby called Pranzo.
