Wow. It has been about a year since I have been here. I have done so very much and so very little in this time apart.  I got married to the love of my life. We are still here is the lovely PA. I am writing a farm to school curriculum and hanging out with the most amazing kids that I have ever met.

So I have made another decision, and I think that it will be a less preachy, less strict and ridgid and hopefully more fun.

I am going to love food again.

I don’t right now; I will admit that. It seems like a burden to me to have to cook.

I like tomato soup out of the can, blue box macaroni and cheese, and a nap. That cannot be the way that I am going to love food again. It is hard due to everything being out of season, but there has to be a way to get me back in the swing of things.

So- i thought of my Google Reader and all the joy that it brings me to look through all the amazing pictures of what other people are doing. Their china patterns, rolling pins, flour (and flower) containers- I am envious, and I want to join their unique club.

So I say again that I have a new plan, and I am (fingers-crossed) ready for it.
