i’m in san salvador, hungry but online. and that, my dear friends, is no small accomplishment. i’ve had more frijoles than i would ever be interested in eating, but all in all, i like coffee country food. i’m even looking into what corn flour to buy to make tortillas when i get home (any suggestions?). back online, i’m trying to catch up with everything. do you know how...
it’s no secret that i’ve not had a real home in three months or so. i’ve been in oslo, san francisco, vancouver and now honduras. this afternoon, i’m off for the first time in a while, spending time wisely - online stalking interior blogs and dreaming about what kind of couch i will have in my future home. while i know it’s only stuff, and it’s really not so...

happiness in the new year
i have so much to tell you, and close enough to the truth - computer has been closed for almost a week. new years came and went, there was champagne and chicken the dog and cooking and tv series through the following weekend. i stayed in and i liked it.
alex have been reading up on bread making, and is nailing it - much better than i could dream of right now. saturday night he baked rye...
