About me
Hi! I'm Lindsey.

I do public health work at Duke University, like to run at a slow, but steady pace, teach group fitness classes, and do my best to keep up with my family that's spread across the country. In the midst all of that, playing in the kitchen is one of my favorite stress relievers and creative outlets, so this blog chronicles some of my favorite cooking and baking adventures, but in the process it also tells the story of the rest of my life.

Like many people in the Triangle area, I'm a transplant. After spending the first 21 years of my life in the midwest, I've been settled in North Carolina for seven years. One of the things I love most about the area is the diversity of local farms, farmers' markets, and great food, so I follow lots of local food happenings, but I also keep up with my fair share of Midwestern favorites.

If you like what you find here, feel free to drop me a note and email Yummy things. I'd love to hear from all of you out there!

Pretty pictures

So this week has kicked my butt a little bit.  A week ago, at 4 PM on a Friday afternoon, the powers that be decided it would be a good idea to move my office a just three days before students arrive on campus for orientation.  To make it more “fun”, moving my office also includes moving to a new computer, a new e-mail, and a new calendaring system. Okay, I’ll admit, getting a MacBook is a little fun, but transferring all your appointments to a new system and being unable to access 4 years worth of e-mail from the new e-mail system is just a pain in the tail, especially when I already had LOTS of other things to do before the new school year starts.  And no one ever enjoys packing moving boxes.  So despite the fact that we got our usual CSA share earlier in the week, I’m just now getting around to posting some photos. TGIF!

Our full share, before the split - red bell peppers, arugula, tomatoes, sungolds, and the first butternut squash of the season

A nice assortment of flowers, which were fun to play with for my photography assignment this week to look at texture
