This is it folks. The final moments. There are exactly 48 hours left to shop and bake and make plans for holiday cheer. I for one have felt pretty mellow about the whole thing this year. Granted there were some scary moments, particularly when booking my airplane...

I’m so happy to back to the blog. Sadly, between travel and moving, there’s been little time to write. I’ve felt a mild sense of stress and emptiness these pass two weeks. I guess I really love my work. That or I’m addicted to the blog. ...

I was just introduced to this GREAT website called Local Harvest. There you can find a ton information about locally grown food. You can also find a farmer’s market near you. Some of the listings even tell you what products/crops they sell, and in what season...
