Well, Hello there!

I am here by popular demand (that is; the demand of my husband and at least two of my friends) to offer you rare glimpses into Life in the cottage. I want to be clear that my home, as far as I can tell, meets almost no architectural specifications or aesthetic definitions to be classified as a "cottage". It is what I lovingly call our cute little house because it is nicer than calling it "prison" or "asylum" which, pertaining to my specific life, it most certainly is. I have a passion for cooking, my husband a passion for eating. A match made in heaven, surely. He comes out looking like a well fed Adonis, I end most days sweaty and frazzled but satisfied. I also boast two boy children, four years apart, both totally devoted to me and committed to unraveling the last fraying scraps of my sanity. This, then, is our mission: To cook good food, To love good men, and To care for our homes and families. Even at the price of our own looks and hygiene.
