Nov. 25, 2023 - My "Pretty, Please" photo of the week - A close-up of the fabric covering a chair that sat in my grandmother's living room as I grew up. Parts of the fabric are now completely threadbare, but my hope is to find the same (or very similar) fabric and have it reupholstered. (This is a pic of the underside of the seat cushion, where the fabric isn't quite as worn.)
Menu: By planning ahead, I can always count on having delicious & nutritious "fuel" for the coming week, as well as some flexibility to switch things up. If you're viewing this on your phone, you will need to scroll to the right to see lunch & dinner. Links below will send you to my own recipe, a cookbook/borrowed recipe, or the restaurant I visited. If you'd like more info on anything without a link, then please Get in Touch.
