  Trying to sum up whatever the heck I’ve been up with a series of photos, despite spending much of the year with malfunctioning cameras, has become something of the norm here, so that’s what I’ll do first for some good ‘ol 2012 reflections.

Legume and I were opting for something different this past Thanksgiving, we decided to make what turned out to be a giant batch of mashed potatoes the weekend prior.  I’d never foreseen this as an issue … Continue reading »
