Hello! I’m back with a baby… a perfect little girl, Nora Mae, born on July 6th. You should know that she is already an excellent eater, weighing 11 pounds, 4 ounces (95th percentile) at her one-month doctor visit. I have obviously not cooked much in the last couple of months, because feeding Nora is like a full-time job. Just recently did I start to wrap my head around the idea of how people do things like laundry and get food on the table while parenting. So, I decided that since I have been able to accomplish daily showers (most of the time), occasional loads of laundry, and handful of homemade meals while taking care of Nora, I can do anything. Right?
So it’s back to work next month. Here’s the latest:
Enjoy the new site! I love, love, love it. The new site was designed by Deanna (Johns) Matyskiel and Tom Dahl. I am so grateful for their commitment to the project, their insight, and of course their designing abilities!
Catch me at the Oak Park Mid-Week Market on Wednesday, September 8th for a chef demonstration… with samples! More details soon.
