Oct. 12, 2012. It’s been over a month since I last posted a recipe. I’m still cooking, I promise. I’ve just been very busy with, well life I guess. I imagine you can relate. The most exciting thing I’ve been working on is a teacher training that I’m doing with Asheville Yoga Center.

Aug. 10, 2012. I will go ahead and apologize for writing two sentimental posts back to back. I think we often reflect a great deal when we experience the loss of a loved one and as I’m still in that mode, it’s all I know to write. I promise you a lighter post next week.

July 26, 2012. Our family lost its matriarch today. Mama Esther was 92 years old. She might tell you she was 95 or 91, but I know that she was 92. I’ll never forget that she was born in 1919. It impressed me so much when I asked her as a child. I remember thinking it was such a long time ago. She was my great-grandmother and she certainly lived up to the name.

What a predicament, you say?

July 2, 2012. I love having company and I really love having people over for dinner. A little while back I was informed at 8:30 p.m. that two of our friends would be joining us for dinner an hour and a half later.
