Before My Time
My parents, 1960. Thanks to my sister for scanning!

The Next American Idol

Beet Hummus
We made a rare trip to Whole Foods last weekend, we wanted to cook up some scallops and that is really the easiest place locally to find them. Otherwise we don’t hit up Whole Foods too much. The past few visits the flavor to cost ratio was way off. I picked up a bunch of…
