This is an updated post from January 2012. I wanted to share it again, because after using Evernote to organize recipes for the last few months, I've learned a few new tricks! Plus I think my new friends from the William Morris Project could really benefit from this...
Hello all my two- and four-legged friends! I hope you're having a great week and had a truly wonderful Easter (and got to search out some yummy goodies!) One of our neighbors just recently got a new puppy to replace a Boxer in his fur family that he had to lead to the...
Happy Friday to ya! I hope you've had a great week. I'm all kinds of focused on our seedlings right now. It is incredible how much progress the seedlings have had in the last week, despite the fact that it's been a bit chilly in our kitchen. The green beans are just...
Last week, I decided to try something never before done in my house — make fresh roast beef. I was looking around for recipes to make for the upcoming week, and the roast been just smiled at me from the page. Now I got a bit apprehensive when the recipe indicated that...

Welcome to Friday! It's been a busy week around here, both work-related and home-related. Stefan is taking a few days off so we can enjoy the awesome springlike weather we've been having and get a few projects done around here that need doing. And yesterday we spent a...
