On Sunday afternoon, we attended our first food swap hosted by Pikes Peak Community Cupboard at Care and Share – a food bank for southern Colorado - in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
I’d never attended a food swap before, and I was on an absolute high by the end of this one. The event drew 20 or 30 [...]
By Friday night of this week, I was almost entirely unpacked in my Colorado home. Seven days prior, I’d been en route to St. Louis for my going away party, where dozens of friends stopped by to wish me well. Now I was alone in Colorado Springs, feeling melancholy about what I’d left behind in Missouri [...]
Dear U-Haul,

I was graced with the good company of several friends who also blog, tweet, and Yelp! about St. [...]
I love music.
I’m moving away.
I’ll have 15+ hours in a U-Haul to listen to music while my loyal sidekick (Rosie) sleeps beside me.
I need music for the drive.
This is where you can help.
Leave me a comment with the song or songs that you think I need to have on my playlist for driving across Kansas, [...]
I’m thrilled that so many of you wanted to join us for the St. Louis Food Bloggers’ dinner at Bridge Wine Bar & Tap House.
I spoke with the restaurant this afternoon, and they reiterated with me that they do not take reservations, asking that we please be careful in any subsequent blog posts not to [...]
