One Formaggio pie with pepperoni added and one The Queen pie. This wood fired pizza is delightful.

Can’t wait to try the other varieties.

What a lovely trip to the Bangor Farmers Market ye What a lovely trip to the Bangor Farmers Market yesterday. Baguettes and mushrooms, greens and a cherry tomato plant and so much more.

A zillion years ago, I was a young mother who’d A zillion years ago, I was a young mother who’d just left the job she’d always wanted trying to figure out what was next. I stumbled into blogging and it worked — the perfect side hustle that I’ve been doing ever since. 

Through blogging, I met @cateomalley, whose musings about parenting, cooking and travel were so delightful and inspired me with what blogging could be. And then we became friends.

I’m really lucky. 

Since then, we’ve had so many adventures and trips - New York, Seattle, Boston, Orlando, Portland, the Hudson Valley, places I am forgetting - and so much change. One of my favorite adventures was a weekend with @jonesdairyfarm where we learned at the @theculinaryinstituteofamerica, stayed at the @beekmanarms.delamaterinn and I got to show her some of where I grew up. 

The whirlwind trip to Seattle we took with @starbucks was pretty awesome too. So was the conference at Disney World that we took our kids too. 

When Cate told me that she and her fam would be in Maine for one day, we was so there. More adventures? Yes, please. 

Now, here’s to not letting it go so long before we have another.

Geddy’s doesn’t disappoint. This fish sandwich Geddy’s doesn’t disappoint. This fish sandwich was so perfectly crunchy and delightful with a lush roll and coleslaw. Yummm.

Plus a mini lobster feast and clam chowder for dayyyyssss.

Definitely a Bar Harbor favorite. And even better to enjoy it with good friends.

I’m not a mother who gets to say the horror won’t ever happen where they are. They know that’s not true.

I’m not a mother who gets to shield her kids when bad things happen. It’s far better that they hear it at home first.

I’m also not a mother who can let fear dictate life. It’s too precious.

It’s Wednesday morning, the day after a deranged man opened fire in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. It feels too familiar.

But while every fiber of my being wants to keep my kids home, sheltering them until I feel some semblance of safe again, I cannot. It’s not the right thing for them.

So I take a deep breath and make banana stuffed French toast. “What’s the occasion?” My daughter laughs, a melodic sound. It’s a school day and usually they eat whatever can be grabbed quickly. I don’t have the heart to remind her in that moment of the horror in Texas.

But later, as they fork the last pieces of breakfast into their mouths, I tell them more children have died since last night. I can’t bring myself to say anything else. Maybe I don’t have to.

Why does this keep happening?? 

(I am not seeking an answer here. I know why. You probably do too.)

They have to leave to catch the bus. It’s time.

I try not to let them see me cry as I hug them goodbye and send them off to high school. But I hold on longer and tighter than normal. I cling for a moment, hoping that my love is enough to surround them with safety and serenity today. It’s all I can do.

And then I close the door and let the tears fall.

To the survivor families of Uvalde, I see you. I know how discombobulating it is to wake up the next day, to need to know but not want to know which among you is gone. To feel how your children’s childhood innocence has been stripped away. To wonder if things will ever be okay again. Just get through each moment today. Don’t worry about the small things. Give yourself and your children space. Hug your loved ones. Know that while you will never forget these moments of the next days, you will find a way to keep moving forward. It’s what we do. It’s what we have to do for our children. And to those whose children perished, I am so deeply sorry.

Whipped up a batch of this favorite earlier in the Whipped up a batch of this favorite earlier in the week. The recipe for Sweet and Sour Kielbasa Soup is in The Easy Frugal Cookbook and is a comforting favorite.

I finished writing this cookbook just before the pandemic set in. (What timing!) It was released in July 2020, and features some of my very favorite frugal recipes for making delightful meals at home. If you haven’t checked it out, I hope you will.

Downeast Strawberry Cider totally hit the spot las Downeast Strawberry Cider totally hit the spot last night with this yummy pre-theatre dinner of brats, sauerkraut and German potato salad at Nocturum in downtown Bangor.

Speaking of theatre … If you haven’t made a plan to see Becoming Dr. Ruth at @penobscottheatrecompany, you should. ASAP. Consider this one a must-see. It’s one of the best productions I have seen anywhere in years — poignant, heartfelt, immersing and beautifully done.
