AH! Okay, I think I have caught my breath enough now to finally sit back down and get a post out (thank you for being patient!).

You all know that I moved, and didn't really have chance to unpack fully before I left for Israel, and then we got busy at work, and THEN, well there's no other way to put it, I GOT ENGAGED!!!

On Pesto, To Taste, & Bravery
A month ago, during the week of Easter, I did something outrageous, something totally unlike me, courtesy of something Frankie found and encouraged me to try. I filmed myself, which the help of Frankie & one of my besties who also happens to be a director & film maker, and submitted said film to Food … Continue reading On Pesto, To Taste, & Bravery
