since i've been gone...

 The following article is not only well written, but I believe will also help me in the future navigate the economic stratification of the mid-20's birthday dinner. Not that I'm mid-20's or anything.  Happy Birthday, You Bastard: An invective against birthday dinners by John Swansburg on Slate. 

I've recently discovered the joys of the dutch oven (thanks to the De Youngs) and have realized that if you pour a couple of canned items into a pot and heat it, you can create soup! It is wonderful and you can eat it for days and days, and if your bread is stale you can dip it in the soup and you can hardly tell. Words of wise from the impoverished during this difficult economic time. 

I hope soon to post pictures from Monticello where I went with the fam this weekend. Did you know that ole' TJ had pink sheets? Well he did!
