Plants are the best — now I’m planning which ones to get. It’s been a long time since I posted, so I’m just throwing this up for now. I’m not even including a photo.

Finishing those potatoes
In the spirit of “using what I already have, I made Slow-Cooker Scalloped Potatoes from the remainder of a 10-pound bag of potatoes. I also made Cauliflower Tacos With Cashew Crema, which is a vegan dish. It was very tasty. This isn’t even a cooking blog. I guess I’ve just been on a bit of …

The January Cure is an annual challenge put on by Apartment Therapy. Our co-op townhouse may not be as …
Taking it on the road
Craft brewery tour – NOT
