small potatoes (random musings)

1. I'm rediscovering blogging. As in, other people's blogs. I love my local blog conglomeration, and I'm researching other ways of shifting some of my online focus away from time-suckers like Facebook and TMZ over to sites that will ultimately be helpful for my goals.

2. These petit fours. You already know how much I love lavender in my food. But how is that I've never heard of lavender extract until now? I must get some.

3. This author. I stumbled upon one of her food-themed novels while downloading e-books to listen to while I'm walking. Turns out she's written a bunch of other novels with a strong food theme, as well as independent childfree women characters (something I'm always on the lookout for).

4. I need lessons in housekeeping. I wasn't really brought up learning how to properly clean and maintain a household, and it's sort of embarrassing - not to mention completely overwhelming. Pinterest doesn't help - as much as I love Pinterest, I think it's contributing to the growing problem of social media making us all think we're not good enough - and in this case, I already know I'm not good enough. So if any of you have a simplified site or manual that would help me learn how to clean, please share.

5. Small potatoes. It's been a while since I made one of these random thought posts. I miss them. So I came back. One of the best things about this being my blog.
