Problems!

You guys, things are going wrong. Some of my plants are dying! Something is eating the others! Also the ants got back into my house, and I accidentally got boiling vinegar smell up my nose and allow me to tell you: it is not pleasant.

Homemade Pesto is Besto

I've always enjoyed cooking and baking - although cleaning up after? Not so much! - and having my own kitchen makes it even more fun. I plan the week's meals, put aside extras in the freezer for later, and actually quite enjoy going grocery shopping (although I hear this stops being fun once you have kids, so I'm glad that's a ways off yet). Having a garden I can actually harvest for ingredients is incredibly rewarding. So far I've had the chance to make a few things and I'm looking forward to sharing my favourite recipes.
