I’ve been making soup. It was trend first inspired by the stunning variety of colorful squash this time of year, which quickly transformed into a sort of self-imposed, internally competitive, frugal, spending game. They are gargantuan, army-feeding pots of soup, on which I exist throughout the entire week. There has been butternut squash soup, parsnip [...]

So. This thought is a month and several days delayed…Weddings and Wedding Cake.

Granola sounds friendly, doesn’t it? “Granola.” See? Friendly. Words of association include….crunchy, oats, hearty, sweet, natural…yogurt…acidophilus… probiotic health…..Perhaps I should stop with the word associations, but the list goes on.
