This page is giving me first day of school, first day on the job  (or insert your own personal hell here) let's-go-around-the-room-and-say-something-interesting-about-yourself anxiety and I am not here for it.  What is this blog supposed to be about? I don't know. It's as enigmatic as the 'Squatch him/herself.  What I do know is that I am not a chef, but I like to cook delicious SIMPLE food.  I haven't had a mixer or food processor since  2010.  If I can't mix it by hand with a fork or a whisk, it doesn't get added to my recipe collection.  I don't do a lot of baking (unless its cornbread or biscuits) and I rarely deep fat fry anything because that clean-up is too much and, really, isn't that what restaurants are for? I do not know what an "instant pot" is ( is it a crock pot?) but I did jump on the air fryer bandwagon a while back looooong after it was cool and I do not regret it.  I also think there are a ton of really overworked people out there who just can't handle one more exhausting "what do you want for dinner, I don't know, what do you want for dinner" and I'm just trying to do my part to help keep you sane.

​

I love the woods, and I think all the animals in the woods are so amazingly fantastic (bears are totes adorbs!) and I will literally bore you to tears with all my Instagram posts and videos about them, but you'll just have to deal.

 

I'm a consummate do-it-yourselfer who used to renovate houses and I bought some property (out in the woods of course) a few years back and will be building a house I designed myself sometime in 2023.  Seriously, we're just waiting on the county to approve the zoning, then approve the permitting, then land clearing, then ground breaking!  I cannot wait until I'm able to start building things like compost bins and chicken coops and I want some goats and pigs, too.  I love architecture and design, so there will be no shortage of drool worthy posts about that.

​

One of my favorite things is home furnishings and everything that goes along with it.  This site will be where I will showcase my carefully curated collections to share with you.

​

I'll probably throw some other random stuff on here, too, like fun trips with my awesome daughter, and stuff probably only I think is cool, but feel free to skip around.  Hey, I'm just trying to figure it out like rest of you.

Thanks for stopping by!
