Sarah: Goldfish, Lisa: CheezIts. They’re sisters, so it makes sense. I, very clearly, stated there was no such snack food that had a such strangle-hold on my self control. In the next breath, I listed, by order of importance the myriad of Chex Mix flavors. I had just outed myself in the process of a… [Read more…]

Home: It snowed today. Not that I care much. Winter? I loathe it, however I’m enjoying a second summer in an old friend of a city. Austin, TX. Today I sat in bed, watched the sunrise over hill country and ate breakfast (breaking my number one rule of no eating in bed, but time and… [Read more…]

Looking towards Fall in July, the phones came out and calendars were marked in tandem. A necessity when we are at work more often than not, are responsible beyond any reasonable sanity. Bikes, lunch and row after planted row of apples. This is third year we’ve come to Rachel’s family orchard to pilfer and plunder.… [Read more…]

Fig. Plum. Strawberry. Walnut. Rose. Huckleberry. Syrupy preserves eaten straight from the jar. Needless to say when presented with so many almost-intravenous sugar options I become a little distracted. This is my holy land. European Tastees (those two e’s are no spelling mistake), a small market and deli tucked discreetly behind a tuxedo shop at… [Read more…]
