Morning flies by me. Jeff’s off to work. Asa is teething like mad, he’s got a molar on each side coming in, and I’ve caved and given him Ibuprofen to help him relax. Laundry goes in, breakfast is had… yeah. Oh, and I do an update here. Finally the...

We don’t do much packaged food, but there’s nothing like a nice package of Jiffy corn muffin...

So, you know how I brew kombucha and am a total convert? Well, my SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeasts) got mold twice in a row… I have no idea what happened! I was waiting for another culture from my friend and I caved and bought...
