Inspired by my previous post, I decided to blow off Spinning class this morning in favor of a real bike ride outside. Not one of those 25 milers on my road bike today, though. Instead I hopped on my old faithful, Trek, and rode to Troy to reap some harvest at the Farmer's Market. The … Continue reading Market Trek

Agriturismo in Tuscany
Prior to our trip to Italy, I organized a special meal for Tom's (never-ending)birthday celebration. While we had originally hoped to have someone come to our villa to cook, it made more sense for us to travel a bit down the mountain to our chef's villa so she would have all of her utensils and … Continue reading Agriturismo in Tuscany
Troy Farmer’s Market
Since soccer was canceled due to weather (?) and I am on temporary gym restrictions, I finally had a chance to get to Troy for a visit to the Farmer's Market. I really wish we could make it to this special market more often, but perhaps it remains a treat because we get there so … Continue reading Troy Farmer’s Market

Since it was Tom's night off, we attempted family dinner … Continue reading Mac n Cheese
Sunday Supper
It has been a lovely day despite the wind and cool temperature. I didn't get out of bed until 9 a.m. and that was after some high quality cuddling and book reading (Finding Nemo) with Quinn. And Griffin, too, but don't tell anyone. I read the entire newspaper, enjoyed a grapefruit (it has been a … Continue reading Sunday Supper
