You may or may not have noticed that I haven’t been posting about food lately. Which is odd, since I usually talk about food most of the time. Have no fear. We’re eating as heartily as ever. It’s just that our kitchen looks like it exploded, and we may or may not have accidentally…
Construction Duck
One of our favorite (and least favorite) discoveries in our current construction projects is that Peanut likes to be a part of the action. And he hates loud noises. Well, we did already know the second part. He’s okay with having paint dripped on him as a result of his likes and dislikes, but he…
