Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
It’s 2:43 am. I can’t sleep.
Which is so frustrating.
I was tired when I went to bed last night! And I’m tired now!
Maybe it was the four (large) cups of black tea between 4 and 8 pm last night.

I met new friends, made industry contacts, swapped lots of business cards, and came home with some creative ideas for my career.

Big props to all the cooking and/or blogging mommas out there with babes and tots on their hands!
My vacation was full of celebratory food and drink — that’s how my family does it. Then yesterday, the BBF and I went for a nice evening to celebrate our 13 months together (we missed month 12!), which included more celebratory food and drink. Hence, the salad for dinner this evening.
