Home amongst the daffy-dils

Two years ago if someone had asked me what home looked like, I would have a very different answer. Since I moved to Memphis, I have met some wonderful people, but it doesn’t really feel like home.

Toast Tuesday: Huangjiu

Toast Tuesday has snuck up on me again and this time I really am reporting a failure.

While I have been working non-stop the last few months, I have managed to find time to have some fun, bake a few yummies, drink a few (several) cocktails, and eat some fabulous grub.  I’ve been making notes and have the starts for several blog posts.
