Three and a half hours on Friday and one phillips-head screwdriver later, voila: I have to give kudos to Chris & Chris, the makers of this butcher block cart (ordered from Costco online). I've embarked on many "some assembly required" proj

Plan U.S.A., 4×4 meme, and working through my cookbooks

Sara — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 16:25:07 +0000

I got a call this weekend from Plan U.S.A. (formerly known as Childreach). I've been sponsoring a child through them for about 6 years, I think, in Guinea Bissau. They have way more children in need of sponsors than they have sponsors, and invited me
