Whoever You May Be

Dear Reader,

As I'm sure you've noticed I have not been writing. I haven't been doing a lot of things I love lately, as I'm still trying to settle in and find my groove.

My pledge to you, however, is that on January 1, 2010 my blog will be a new animal. I'm sure tons of websites are making this promise but I don't care about slipping in with the crowd on this one. As Joe Fox says in You've Got Mail, "I'm working on a little project that needs... tweaking."

Until 1/1/10, I wish you and yours the happiest and healthiest of holidays! Keep warm, eat well, and drink up!

Peace,
Kendra

Celery & Chives

As soon as I actually start cooking in my new place I'll send pictures. Until then, enjoy this beautiful array of celery and chives!!

I'm here!

It's been a while since I've had a chance to catch my breath. But now I'm here, in my new place, as close to settled as I would hope to be. The sky is grey, but that didn't stop me from discovering my new neighborhood. I've found friendly people in almost every shop, restaurant, or cafe I come across. It's a fabulous area and I'm forever thankful to God for letting path cross with such an inspiring home.

Since I still don't have food in the house, I went to Tom's Restaurant on Washington for lunch (and brought half of it home for dinner). Green pea soup and a grilled cheese with tomato - there aren't many things that comfort you quite like that! I even found a new wine shop! It's down the street on Vanderbilt and they have wine tastings on Wednesday and Saturday evenings.

So, thank you, God, for opening my eyes to Brooklyn. I'm a fan... a big, BIG fan.

More on food once I get fully moved in.
