Sunday roast redux

Roast pork stuffed with garlic and rosemary – always a crowd pleaser. (God bless the Whole Foods butcher who trimmed this so painstakingly for me. Whole Foods has the happiest, most helpful butchers. Everyone else who works there is pretty friendly, too. In New York, this is no small thing.)

Impending autumn

Raker Raker!

27 Aug

Raker (not her real name) is someone I met more than a decade ago when I was in the UK. It’s been nearly ten years since I last saw her (on an outing in London to see the League of Gentlemen in Art, which was fabulous). She’s one of the coolest people EVER and now has a blog. The strapline:

baby, crafting, more baby, then probably more crafting.. NOW WITH ADDED CANCER!

Which tells you all you need to know about this lady’s mettle and sense of humor. I miss her!
