Seasons

By Erin | Published: July 31, 2009
I am ready for fall. For several reasons, but here are a few: 1. It’s just too darn hot. 2. The AC in my car is broken, and cool air only comes out of the defroster vents, which fogs up my windshield and does little to cool the car. See #1. 3. Squash bugs have [...]

Poor People Food

By Erin | Published: July 16, 2009
Last night I made beans and cornbread for dinner. My grandmother had bought me a bag of Anasazi beans when I was in West Virginia.
