Farmer's Market Haul

This morning, after doing yoga, the kids and I headed over to the farmer’s market. We’ve been waiting for good weather to grab some peaches and after three thwarted attempts, we woke up to sunshine and immediately headed out the door lest we miss the opportunity due to another swift summer storm.

Lunch Date Outfit

This was the outfit I put together for a lunch date with Jordan and a friend. It’s been a while since I’ve made lunch plans with a friend. I believe the last time I made lunch plans was late mid-pandemic.

Dinuguan: A Story of Ethnocentrism

Dinuguan is a creamy sour stew made of beef blood. It’s probably off-putting to hear creamy and blood in describing a stew, but like I’ve told my friends who have dared to try it, just don’t think about the base of the stew being beef blood. Easy peasy! Not convinced?
