Home! & Illness Recap
Currently It is SO wonderful to be home. Two months away is a long time. My time in Cambodia was awesome - so full of experiences, culture, new people and things - but it was exhausting.

A Potential Soup Fail that Turned Out to Be Delicious
It's definitely winter now. Cold fronts have come in full force, the wind is whipping around, and snow is now a weekly possibility. What does that mean for your kitchen?
