Sometimes I shock myself with the random things that I do. They really make me question just how completely awesome I am. I know I’m pretty awesome at cooking, sewing, wielding the camera, and navigating the overall strangeness of life, but there are things that I am NOT awesome at. Like I am not awesome… Read more

A Whole-Mess and Turkey Sausage!
Well, do you count something as a failure if you’ve learned something in the process?
