Overview:

This blog is a random concoction and blend of my thoughts, interests, and daily observations. Currently, I am a lover of tea, indoor house plants, trying new foods, and learning about different cultures. I work for the public schools and despite all the downsides that most of us are aware of, it is a job that I am grateful for and feel proud to show up at everyday. Some thoughts here will reflect my experiences at work.

Chicago: Lincoln Park Farmer's Market

As Monday blues settle in, I thought I would post a throwback to Saturday morning at the bustling Lincoln Park Farmer's Market. A wonderful selection of fresh vegetables, potted herbs, and flower bouquets were available, along with local honey, apple cider, and cider donuts!

Bottom right is "The Jake" from Gayle's Best Ever Grilled Cheese. It is filled with gouda cheese, ham, and apple butter. It felt like a great welcome to the fall seasonal foods, even if it was 80 degrees outside!
