Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
I took a second cooking class at Sur La Table last weekend and this time I convinced Keltin to go with me.

My wonderful step-mom actually started reading The Hobbit to my sister and I when we were little. I remember loving the story then,
Keltin and I don’t do anything crazy on Valentine’s Day but I use it as an excuse to try something a bit different. I made chocolate covered strawberries for the two of us but I also made chocolate cookies with peanut butter morsels for my coworkers. I thought that it would make the day a

Keltin‘s degree is in broadcasting and he particularly loves sports broadcasting. Even though he doesn’t do it full time any longer he will occasionally get calls from friends in the business when they need additional help covering games.
