I am absolutely loving where we are living! I can buy my pastured meat and eggs from a farm not far from here and I discovered a honey supplier nearby. I’ve got fields and cows in view out the front and back windows, and the quiet is overwhelmingly pleasant. Yet, at the same time, I’m back to (moderately-sized) city life in 30 minutes. It is perfect.
While I plan to take full advantage of this new country life you still can’t take the love for a big city or for travel out of me. So rest assured my future plans are to continue with a balanced blog, just as I strive to maintain a balanced life.
It will be at least a few days before I’m back to cooking something worth posting about, or have the time for writing about a thought provoking perspective. Until then I’ve completed my Project 365 of February in Food. I hope you enjoy the photos and I’ll be back to regular posts soon!

I am glad you moved in. I can’t wait to see photos. I am hungry now-great food post:)
Just read the recipe for the quiche which looks fabbo! I really like the use of the whole wheat crust.
I love eggs! Rarely do I do all whites but it’s been known to happen. I sometimes will cut the eggs and use half whole and half whites for scrambles and fritattas.
I need to have an early lunch before I head to class but your February food photos are making my planned sandwich look so pathetic in comparison!
Congratulations on your move! Your new home sounds wonderful (cows!) and we look forward to all the new and delicious foods soon to come from your kitchen. 😎
looks at all the cupcakes that month!
Congratulations on your move! I love the photo recap of February, lots of yummy treats there!

Can’t wait to see your kitchen – I love that you can go buy food direct from the farmer!

Congrats on the new digs, and how much fun to have all that wonderful food sourced so close to home. What a fantastic opportunity. Look forward to following what you do with your bounty.
Congratulations on your new house Lori! I’m so happy for you! Enjoy! When you get a chance I hope you’ll come by and see the side dish round-up. No hurry, though.
Your new house sounds like a dream, with the best of both worlds 🙂
I love that muffin – and I love how you included the flowers..so cute! 🙂
