Throughout my recent pregnancy I found myself craving beer a lot, which is abnormal considering I’m not a huge beer drinker. I would take red wine over beer nine times out of ten. Then, Caprice was born and my desire for beer boomed. Maybe it was hormones adjusting, or maybe due to our incredible PacNWContinue reading “Day 6: Oktoberfest or Oktoberfeast: On Beer”

Food is one of my favorite nouns on planet earth. I love meals of simplicity & complexity.

Our Table Added A Fifth Seat
Early Sunday morning I gave birth to our child & daughter. I’ll be posting her birth story, but wanted to introduce her before that.
