My routines — recipes — thoughts — and feelings have been discombobulated recently. I haven’t really been in the posting mood, but this weekend I took a solo trip to the lake and decided to write and read and plan and think and breathe.

There they were all week just staring at me. As I was prepping this morning and feeling guilty about the Brussels sprouts, I decided to get rid of the guilt and just slice them very thin and pretend they are the kale and collards I forgot to harvest.
