Messy-haired and bra-less I take a seat on the couch, clear the coffee table and spread out the paper. Take that first glorious sip of coffee, and breathe ( Read more... )

FINALLY got to spend some time with my dear friend Maureen today. Mo, Katie, and I went to the Detroit Urban Craft Fair, which was held at the Fillmore (formerly State) Theater. It was a beautiful location, a perfect melding of cool crafts in this ornate theater. I bought a tin of herb+ginger Berry Fruity loose leaf tea and a couple of letterpress ( Read more... )

I picked up some Michigan-grown tomatoes yesterday at the City Market (along with a bag of Michigan apples and an eggplant for Eggplant Parmesan tonight).
