Our first reflection comes from my friend Mary, who was also my website designer.  Didn't she do a lovely job? Thank you for giving my words such a beautiful home! XO- Hannah

When Jayne and I cook we almost always make something in a large batch. Then we can, freeze, store or bake for hours. One ambitious summer end we froze apple pie filling, sliced carrots, whole jalapenos, diced peaches and corn. We boiled and baked bagels. We made her Mother's recipe for the most buttery cookies.

We both have midsized families and large kitchen tables and we thrive at feeding others.

This particular Saturday we split a lug of Colorado peaches. These peaches are waited for, coveted. They only come into our local grocery once a year. And signs go up outside saying "While They Last!," "Limited Time" and  "Stop in Today!"
