April 30, 2009Having friends is a really good thing
April 17, 2009Having friends is especially helpful when you want to make something that is possibly time intensive and you might be bored if you do it alone.

Happy Spring!
March 20, 2009As I’ve been running/jogging/walking through the neighborhood lately, one of my favorite parts of the experience (aside from the realization that holy smokes!

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day
February 5, 2009One thing you should know about me, Jonathan, is that I love bread. I love everything about it. I love it so much that when I was growing up, my family made a rule that the bread plate had to be passed around the table before it got to me so that I wouldn’t eat [...]

Tagged…
October 17, 2008I have been tagged by our friend Lisa and we’re to share 7 random facts…I feel that you all know so many random things about me it’s hard to know where to begin. 1.

Where’s Jonathan?
September 14, 2008I know many of you are used to having Jonathan update his livejournal and flickr photostream and that’s maybe not happening as much lately. Sorry about that. Here’s a brief explanation: 1. We got married. It took a few days (okay weeks and months) for us to plan things. 2. I moved into the house. [...]
