I have made some napkins and they are for sale!  The pictures are all kind of dark, thanks to this thing called "the days are getting shorter because it's almost winter," but here's an idea:

why I love potato stamping

It is very easy to cut a potato.

And one of our wedding gifts just arrived today--a shipment of beans from Rancho Gordo!  We already got the Heirloom Beans cookbook (and already made the White Chili), so I'm very excited about getting some of the beautiful beans featured in the cookbook.  Yum!

Vacations

I have about a million pictures on flickr. Here are several:

We got marriaged.
