san francisco pork fat bread
Thanks to last weekend’s Haparamen class, I came home with a ramen kit and an innocent looking tub of pure lard.

And I apologize.
If you want better than Delfina (ohhh shieeeee) pizza +
NO clusterf and lots of leg / elbow / breathing room,

season's eatings
Over the past few weeks I’ve been plugging away at my seasonal calendar beyond its current, static calendar form and into a growing (pun intended), real-time, easily-accessible digital calendar.
After years of mulling it over in my head, it’s been validating to be able to push this through into real life and get so much encouragement and support for it.
