  • Yesterday’s Dinner

    Today’s dinner, not so interesting. But yesterday, I tried out a homemade seasoning mixture on some mini steaks and cooked artichokes for the first time (served with lemon butter sauce, of course). The seasoning needs work but it all turned out better than I expected. Plus Rachel’s Facebook status about it got a bunch of…

  • Canadian Thanksgiving

    I don’t have any photos of Thanksgiving this year.

This was heightened when…

  • Homemade Pizza
