Changing Seasons

Monday, September 7th, 2009

I know it’s only started to cool down outside, but fall is undeniably coming. For some people, this is a huge relief. Others are kicking and screaming as they cook out one last time this holiday weekend and try to catch a few final rays at the beach. Though I’m not much of a cooker-outer [...]

Brain Freeze

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

I’ve got ice cream on the brain. I finally convinced myself I should buy an ice cream book I’ve been wanting for a while now, and ended up with another one to peruse in the meantime. My birthday is in a little over a week and I’m still crossing my fingers for an ice cream [...]
