This week’s basket brings a perfect range of colors.
The green beans are finally here (YES!) and the tomatoes are still coming strong. I’m pretty determined to make the most of these last week’s of August produce and then get serious about squash and Brussels sprouts. Are you?
This weekend, two of my college roommates came to visit and we stayed up too late chatting and drinking wine, as one does. It’s so odd to be the only one who stayed in Madison, where we all went to school, and I often think about how different it would be if everyone still lived here. A girl can dream, right?
