a proper august

Where have I been? Well, I spent a healthy amount of time lying in this hammock in Italy:

and since I got back to New York, I've been going to the Greenmarket every weekend. I have eaten more strawberries this summer than I ever have before!

Obviously, I am also experimenting with keeping the camera steady while the flash is off. My gas has yet to be turned on, so I am still confined to oven-cooked meals. But I have many things to show and tell, and over the next few days I will.
