Found you through your interview on Wasabimon! I should admit that I was drawn to your site because you work at Omnivore, aka My Happy Place. Too bad I missed the Punch Contest, looks like it was a blast. I look forward to following you for all the latest and greatest food book recs!

BUT we both know I will drink anything, but bud light and Fresca sounds like no good to me. That second one sounds good, though! Maybe it will be warm soon in Minnesota and it will warrant a punch party.

I made farro for dinner to go along with some chicken. Found some prima passata at Byerly’s on Sunday night — haven’t seen any since I left for Italy. It was on clearance! So I bought four bottles. Mixed it in with some celery/onion/carrot and red pepper and garlic and put it on my farro and boy howdy do I have a lovely bento for tomorrow.

Miss you
