In honor of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, I am posting about our holiday to South Africa. Yebo. It’s an entire year later. But, amidst other life changing events such as the birth of our daughter and a move cross country – I concede that it has taken me a year to get to it. [...]
Just to set the record straight, I have never ventured into the land of making my own nut butter. I always dismissed it, speculating that it was too complicated or time consuming a task. Now that I have made it – and understand how easy it is – I’m a little sad that I waited [...]
