happy earth day!




we have lived our lives by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. we have been wrong. we must change our lives so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption, that what is good for the world will be good for us. and that requires that we make the effort to know the world and learn what is good for it. - wendell berry

After the (wonderful) craziness of last weekend, I am very excited for a relaxing weekend with friends! Mike & I are throwing an Easter brunch Sunday afternoon for a few friends in town. Every time we have had a potluck party we have always amassed an insane amount of great food, so I am looking forward to that (pays to have friends who appreciate good eats). I'm planning to make these savory treats. I hope you have a beautiful & meaningful weekend!
