I took a stroll through the Irvington Farmer’s Market that meets every […]

Day 357 – Hummus
As promised, I made hummus today. (Among other things, that is. I slept in, went out to lunch and shopping with Amanda, visited the Amherst Schools tech guys, ate dinner with my parents, made hummus, then wrapped presents with the help of my Dad.) My friend Dom came over to make hummus with me, as […]
