So Many Cooking Projects!

This year I’ve been rotating between City Park and South Pearl markets depending on the weather and the day.

This box was also full of ants who have taken up residence in my kitchen.

July 4th in Bozeman

It was awesome to drive up and meet my brother-in-law Jon and my niece Isabella and nephews Matthew and Daniel as they started a multi-week roadtrip through Yellowstone and out into South Dakota.

We wandered through the museum, got pastries at Wild Crumb, and enjoyed the patriotic spirit in one of America’s sweetest small(ish) towns.

Greece for Andy & Kate’s Wedding

Crete

Our Airbnb was palatial!

And downtown Crete (??) was charming for shopping and eating out.

Dinner I made one night at our Airbnb

Wedding day dawned hot!

Santorini

After the ferry and early morning drive, we were hungry and grabbed a meal at Kookoo before heading up into town to check in with our host.

Our Airbnb in Santorini was built into an old bakery on the hillside directly below the main street, and as soon as we arrived we popped into the little cave hot tub to relax and hide out in the shade.

With this view from the patio, I didn’t see any reason to go anywhere during the hot and touristy hours of mid-day. As I like to tell Kevin, vacations are just a series of beautiful places to read a good book.

We had one very fancy dinner at Restaurant MIA
