The gist of it all is that this AZ-turned DC-gal is now headed to cook (until October) at a farm in northern California! It's time to vagabond my way back to the west coast, be outside again, learn some farm things, some cooking things, discover what farm-to-table and sustainability really mean and be somewhat closer to my family.

For those who of you who want more information on where I'll be, (or want to come visit!) check out the 100+ year old organic farm and guest ranch known as Emandal in Mendocino county. I can't wait to work with my hands again, meet new people, and hike on the regular. And the food! Swoon.

| Welcome to Emandal |
This of course is accompanied with an extreme sadness to be leaving the dear ones I've met here in DC... it would take pages upon pages to list these friends and the multitude of ways in how they're the most amazing people ever, so I'll save you the reading. But it is with a heavy heart that I am journeying back out west, and I am ever so grateful to my colleagues, my friends, and my family in the District for the last four and a half years of love and laughter-filled memories.
And to you, the readers... I can't wait to share these new adventures (and recipes!) with you.
I'll leave you with a quote that I just found today on an incredible blog called Honey & Jam. Please check out her lovely photography and foods here.

XOXO to all. To never having stopped adventuring, and to always being open to the new, the wild, and even the uncertain. Follow your passions, wherever they may lead. Cheers!
