Sorry for the silence — we have been pirating our wi-fi from a benevolent stranger for the past 4 years. Suddenly, our internet access disappeared! Where oh where was “belking”??! Funnily enough, our neighbours moved out the SAME weekend that our internet disappeared. Hmmm. Connection? Soooo, I’m spending my days at various coffee shops that [...]
Only a woman you’ve known since you were little can bring you a pressie certain to elicit genuine joy out of you. Upon arriving at Mandi’s apartment at the beginning of our girls weekend last week, Eli brought Joo a Chick Fil-A sandwich all the way from the Atlanta airport. For those of you who [...]

Yippeeeeee! (He posed this way by the way. I’m not as cruel as to post deep-sleep photos on the internet, lest someone finds it funny to creep into my room and take photos of me at my most vulnerable/drooliest/ugliest!) -x-aarti
(If you look closely, you’ll see “sequeira” embroidered on my apron; a Christmas present from Bren a while ago. Isn’t that awesome?) I know that lambs are fluffy and cute. I also know they taste DAMN good! Last Saturday, I made lamb kebabs, an inexpensive way to enjoy lamb here in the States where lamb [...]
