    Sourdough happens to be our favorite bread type. When it finally became hard to find my favorite bakery’s fresh loaf, coupled with again seeing a friend’s amazing pictures I couldn’t stand it anymore. On May 9th I decided to finally embark on my own sourdough starter journey. Since the start of Covid-19 lockdown in March,…

    I hope the holidays have snuck up on you less than me. Edwin has spent the last week quite sick, causing us to miss out on a dinner party, ice skating with Quince(twice) and making it very hard to finish up buying/wrapping gifts. All of that aside, we had a nice Christmas with my siblings.…

    I’m confident this snow storm will replace the storm of 1996 as large and disruptive. We were fairly stuck inside the house for about 7 days. While Calypso does fine in the snow, the alley was so horrible we didn’t want to leave for fear we wouldn’t make it back in. Things kicked off on…

    Tomorrow our baby turns 1 year old. It’s wild to think that a year has gone by already. I suppose it’s time I stop hoping he’ll be a good baby while I work and count my lucky stars that for the most part he is happy and has been quite good.

    I present the first ever edition of Edwin’s favorites. Much like the ones I publish each 1/2 year for Quince, only this version I have recorded each month thus far as Edwin changes so quickly. Here’s a summary of his first 6 months. Each picture also includes his favorite items at that time. (in the above…

    It’s the eve of Quince’s 7th birthday and I find myself with mixed emotions. Warning, this post may ramble and is mostly in the style of an open letter.
