Welcome! Here is where you can find when and where I am teaching and cooking, or maybe sometimes, what is on my mind. Hope you have a nice stay!
I have watched enough home repair shows to know that people watch them not to see a house in disarray, but instead to see what can be made of the mess. I think the appeal of these shows comes in seeing the hidden potential of each house brought to life. It’s exciting to see what beautiful things can be found in the rough places of homes!
We are in the process of “fixing" our kitchen. This morning, I woke up feeling like this kitchen has become a metaphor for life. The deeper we dig, the more we find.
I realize this is a bold statement. Summer is many wonderful things beyond grilled pizza, but, stick with me and you may find you kind of agree. At least maybe a little....
This turned out to be a slightly sweet, lightly spiced, buttery crumble. It has a hint of the tropics, but it is not overwhelmingly anything. It had such a lovely aroma while baking. Nuts, spice, citrus and just a touch of sweet. Warm with black coffee, you can't go wrong!
We spent this last week at my childhood home for spring break. It was a lovely week of rest and family. Something I always love about being home is getting to spend time with my (almost) 92 year old Grandpa. He is a fountain of wisdom and experience. In the past few years he has changed his eating habits and started exercising with the goal of losing weight and remaining physically capable.
