Apple Pear Bread – Gluten Free

This last December I started baking again.  With thesis done and out of the way I had the time to find life in my old hobbies.  I love to bake, ask me what's for dinner and I will begrudgingly point to the fridge hoping that something will magically make itself, but ask me what's for … Continue reading Apple Pear Bread – Gluten Free

Orange Sun

Today I saw the sun, an orange colored hue behind a brown polluted sky At a high school fútbol game I glanced up at the sky momentarily and saw the sun.  Something we don't really get to see very often.  The overcast and snowy day mixed with the brown pollution that seems to settle over the … Continue reading Orange Sun

Face Lift

Creating Space is getting a little bit of a face lift.  Someday I hope I have the tools and time to give it a full CSS upgrade, but my patience for coding is limited at the moment.
