Adventures In Canning
Our CSA was running a special on Romas – $1 a pound in 25 pound increments … and my husband decided to buy 2!
Luckily we have fantastic friends who will work for tomato products.
Philly Food Swap
The husband and I participated in our second Philly Food Swap on Wednesday at the beautiful Wyck Historic House & Garden. It’s always a great time meeting other foodies and exchanging handmade goodies!
Recycled Electronic Jewelry Class
I took my first class today at The Hacktory. I found the class through Skillshare. It was fun and definitely worth the $20 in materials alone. Plus it was also a good excuse to spend some time exercising the creative side!
I’m bummed that I left the choker. It was made with the same rainbow wire as the belt and bracelet, but had no processor glued on.
Can you guess all the electronic parts?
Game Loop Philly Highlights
Although I don’t plan to start a career in game development, I attended the Game Loop Philly un-conference today. I thought I’d feel a little out of place, but I was pleasantly surprised by the breadth of topics. Each session was applicable to either my work or personal life and I met a lot of great people! Here are the highlights from the sessions I attended today.

In the last few years my husband and I have made cooking our own meals a priority – typically from scratch. Being open and willing to try new foods, recipes, and techniques for prepping food will help you discover (or rediscover) the joy of cooking.

Sign up for a CSA
CSA’s are wonderful! Where else can you get fresh in-season food at a good price from a farmer that you know? Also, the volume of food that you recieve at once helps you plan the following week.
Hello Philadelphia
Up until last year, I’ve always lived in the south and in the suburbs. In this now-foreign lifestyle, a car was a requirement. If you didn’t have one, you probably didn’t have a job. You drove everyday to work, shops, and even parks. Public transportation, bicycle paths, and safe sidewalks were non-existent. Conservation, recycling, and other green practices weren’t valued (and often mocked).
