Hello Fall! I was wondering where you've been...


It's nice and chilly today. I was awaken with the cool breeze coming through the window. Is Fall really here? I hope so. It feels more holiday-ish.

Well, ask and you shall receive.

Yesterday I got an email from FoxRC (owner of Olive & Ivy, and Sauce among others) about a cooking class to be held at The Green House ...
