I started this blog a few years ago when I turned twenty-five, and it began as a place for me to post about cheese, pottery and other things I thought were interesting over the course of that year. Now, even though my "Year Twenty-Five" is behind me, I keep this site as a way of collecting things I feel inspired by and/or would like to eat.
