Hi everyone! I just had an extremely busy weekend and was so glad to have these delicious beets to come home to. Preparing food ahead of time may not always seem like a good use of time ….until you are really busy. Then you are psyched.
I won’t detain you with info on every activity of my weekend but I wanted to let you know about the incredible woman photographed above, Jane Marcus, who organizes a clothing, toy, book and sports equipment swap a few times a year and did so yesterday for the twentieth time! It’s a great opportunity to purge stuff you don’t need and to pick up what you do need, for free!
I got the Amish cookbook you see above and a few clothing items-one cashmere!
For future swap info, contact Jane or start your own in your town!:
