I've been annoyed at the recycling of posts, but the "before" picture still intrigued me enough to come and take a look at the "after" and then dragged me through some websites to find the actual "after" and to find out who actually did the garden.

The first picture isn't really a before - they have already started pulling out stuff. And the second picture isn't a true after - I'd like to see it after a season of growth. Before & After: A Barren Backyard Is Brought Back to Life Studio G |

This is reminding me of the time my sister brought her vegan boyfriend to Passover Seder and we tried to figure out what to make for dessert. I think the answer was a fruit salad, but it took us a long time to figure that out. How Do You Plan a Dinner Party with Guests Who Follow Different Diets? Good Questions |

Grew up in a medium town in MA, now I live in NYC. While I love the public transportation and things being open 24/7, I really miss being surrounded by green, seeing the stars at night, and the silence that comes when you can't hear any cars whooshing by. Urban vs Rural: What's in Your Blood? |

My kitchen has been smitten - we've tried the leek fritters (delicious) and the dill slaw (pretty darn good, but that's a lot of slaw!). I got the Ottolenghi 'Jerusalem' book for my mom, so I might have access to that. I also got a slow cooker book that I haven't done a test run on yet.

Spent Saturday learning how to do cyclocross, so no cooking. Today I'll be trying out the new cuisinart by making pie crust. I've completely failed at this in the past when doing it by hand, so here's hoping! The husband is making meatballs using sausage meat as the base and it smells delicious.
