Stage Fright

I’m going to share a secret with you:  I really don’t like the way my voice sounds in recordings.

A New Year

I don’t do resolutions anymore — too often, they’d be left undone and become a list of guilt for things I’d wanted to accomplish, but never did. A few years ago, I wrote up a short list that I reaffirm every year — Resolve — and I recommit to it again this year. I didn’t do it all perfectly — my aim to be creative every day slid a bit, unless you count roasting coffee as being “Creative” — but I more or less stayed on track and overall am happy with how 2011 unfolded.

Recipe: Chocolate Eggnog Steamer / Chocolate Syrup

Happy Boxing Day! Today is the day we have our big holiday meal, and I’m starting my day with a chocolate eggnog steamer, served in my new abi lyon wicke mug — a gift from my husband.
