Well hello there

….it’s been awhile, hasn’t it?  I am writing to your from the kitchen of my house in Philly (side note: I always find it strange when people say “at my parents house”…like this is not my home too.  It’s my house and always will be.  I guess if my parents moved one day I might […]

Hello From My New Office

Stress-FULL

Today was Stressfull, with a capital S and emphasis on Full.  It didn’t start out stressfully (not sure if that is a word, but let’s go with it), but it got stressfull very quickly when I opened the first bin of bagels (we store them in fermentation bins overnight) to see that someway, somehow, some […]

Keeping You On Your Toes

Sorry to leave you in suspense yesterday…and Tuesday!  I meant to post, but like I’ve said before, once I start to do things, there is no turning back to post.  So here we are, a couple days late, but that’s ok! Don’t want things to get to MUNDANE around here during the quarantine…gotta keep things […]

I Need A New Title

Should I just keep calling these posts Monday Morning Coffee Chat?  That’s what they are, but it seems repetitive!  Anyway, hello friends, random readers, Mom, Dad- nice that you’re all here!  I am writing this to you after going for a run and then I went to pick up bagels from the local bagel shop.  […]
