Since we’re still dealing with triple digit temperatures here in the Central Valley, we’re also still trying to keep our cooking to a minimum and use stove and oven as sparingly as possible. J and I both are fans of chicken salad but have usually just made it as chicken salad sandwiches with oven fries….

Review | Berkey Gravity-Based Water Filter

Review | Berkey Gravity-Based Water Filter

The first time, someone saw that big shiny thing on my kitchen sideboard, I think they commented what a “huge badass coffee maker” that was. Ha. I do like my coffee, but I don’t have a caffeine addiction. What they were looking at was my Berkey water filter*. I meant to blog about this in…

I appreciate it very much. reading Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine by Gail Honeyman. It’s a kind of strange book so far, but the reviews are good, so I am curious where…

What is happening to this world?

Recipe | Apple Crumble Cake

As I mentioned last week, I had been thinking about baking something for the weekend. Baking makes everything better and after the news that came out of Charlotteville on Saturday, I definitely needed something ‘to make things (just a tiny bit) better’, if only to soothe my aching heart.
