last week while I was away there was a death in my family. My favorite chicken one of our Silverlaced Wyandotes Rosa Parks died of egg block. It was quick, 2 hours. She went from completely fine to bad very quickly but there was nothing we could do. My mom is ordering 2 plymoth rock’s today but Rosa will always be my favorite. She was such a beauty. RIP chicky.

from a birthday trip to lake monroe. bloomington, in.
4kirb and me in california
4bits of yum: {butternut and two-mushroom risotto.}
the main dish for the birthday gathering was thus— butternut and two mushroom risotto. lu and my mom were kind enough to gift me with the financials necessary to get quality ingredients to craft a table of deliciousness to enjoy with friends. i hadn’t made risotto in some time, and i…
3 i turned 21 the other day, and amidst the weekend of celebrating, i took a moment to do something i enjoy quite a bit— sharing a table with a few good friends. lu and i set out one morning for the farmer’s market, and chatted with a man about the pastel eggs we were purchasing from him, got a sizable butternut and some fresh greens before dashing inside a nearby bagel shop as a storm took over the skies. we watched as sheets of water covered the street and pools formed, then set out for the grocery for the rest of the ingredients. its amazing how just slowly filling a basket with what we needed was satisfactory and calming to both lu and i, and the meal that resulted likewise. just girls, some wine and cheese to start and excellent conversation.
