Welcome

Welcome to my blog. My blogging journey began about in August 2009 as a photo-a-day blog which has since transitioned to combine my love of good food and photography. Today, using as many local and fresh ingredients as we can, my boyfriend and myself spend time researching recipes, making our own adaptations, cooking, taking photos, eating, and finally reflecting on all or part of the above listed process here. I hope you take the time to not only read and look at our photos, but please cook some of the recipes yourself. You are invited and encourage to leave feedback as we continue our culinary journey!

First (and only?) 2011 Picnic

A couple weeks ago it was 85 degrees on a Sunday afternoon. Chicago had bypassed Spring and gone straight to summer...or so I thought. As I look out my window now I realize it's more like we had winter, Spring for 1 week, Summer for 1 day, and are now back to winter again.

Anyways, D and I figured the 85 degree weather would not be an ongoing trend and took the time to go outside on a picnic and enjoy the sunshine, making use of one of D's birthday gifts...(yes, the final birthday post!)...a cooler.

We packed some lovely BLT sandwiches, pretzels, fruits, cookies, and juice and headed to the lake. It was grand. D is obviously very excited about his new cooler, which holds 30 cans of beer.Please, summer, come back!
