watch this...the mind of a chef

Have you heard of this show on PBS? A friend turned me on to it and I am loving it. If you like to get nerdy about cooking, or like to watch other people get nerdy about it, this is for you. Each episode is about a specific topic (Fresh, Rotten, Southern, etc) and explores the many facets of that topic.

Seasons 1 and 2 are on Netflix right now. And, hopefully, season 3 will be there soon...

If I could have Solange's moves for even an hour I'd be a happy camper.

River gets so much joy from sharing new things with Finn. While at the aviary this morning I found myself oddly overwhelmed with emotion as we walked around. We've been here dozens of times and each time River seems a year older--more perceptive, bigger vocabulary, even bigger shoes. This time I saw his growth in a different way than before and it made me want to freeze everything just for a day. One of the baristas at a local coffee shop has a pheasant tattooed on her arm and River is obsessed with it. Every time we see her he asks to see "the bird". As we walked passed a real pheasant today he stopped and made the connection after a few seconds. He was so excited and immediately shared his realization with Finny and started telling him all that he knew about pheasants (which was pretty much just that the bird was on a tattoo). Teaching your child new things is such a special gift but watching them teach others is a whole new ball game.

Came home to boxes and beer from our neighbors down the street. Reason number 1,263,792 why it will be so hard to leave the community we've been a part of on Bryan Ave.
