Summer Summary
Since Curly and Bee have been somewhat neglectful of their blog-posting duties since the end of June, we’ll give you a quick summary of the past month. Unfortunately, their aren’t many pictures to accompany this post, since Curly doesn’t have…
Peperonata
Curly decided to make peperonata today. It’s this wonderfully colorful Italian dish with lots of fresh vegetables that one of her brothers learned to make while he was living in Italy as a missionary over ten years ago. He probably…
Anniversary Menu
