I used up the last of my previously mentioned gift certificate on this cookbook:
Esalen is an amazing retreat and spa in the Big Sur area. I’ve wanted to go there for years and have a massage and relax in the hot tubs overlooking the ocean. Since I can’t afford that right now, I figured the cookbook was [...]
With the hotter weather the past few months I had gotten away from a lot of cooking, but with the cooler weather setting in, I’ve started up again. Yesterday I made a fantastic Bolognese sauce (if I do say so myself), a big pot of lentil soup for later in the week and made what will be my favorite [...]
This weekend, while I was doing a monthly budget and wondering for the millionth time why I have so little money left over at the end of the month and almost nothing in savings, I did something I had been thinking of doing for a while.
