Kate Flaim (Girl Reporter)

Ok, I finally feel like I can put this out there: I actually had a legitimate reason for completely flaking out, food- and blog-wise, for a couple months there. The Girl Reporter household is adding a new member this summer; we’re expecting a Flaimlet! I’m due in August, and I cannot express how repulsive food [...]

Re. the Flickr problem on Monday, from my mom’s computer in Oregon when I’m not logged in I can choose “copy image address” but it copies a blank fake address. Awesome. Using Gretchen’s workaround (which requires going into the “all sizes” view once logged in), here are some things:
Bittersweet branches for fall:

A convention on the [...]

You guys, Ben gave me the plague. Not cool. I’ve been deathly ill since late last week, and first thing tomorrow morning I’m headed to Oregon to celebrate my mom’s birthday. We have some good cooking planned for while I’m home, and hopefully once I’m back we’ll get back into a more normal eating-at-home schedule. [...]

A non-food post, but I have to share a few photos with you… Last weekend we joined Ben’s aunt/uncle/cousins/mom/brother/etc. on Cape Cod for the weekend, breathing in big lung-fulls of cool air and leaving just into time for the Nor’Easter on Sunday. I spent a very happy two hours bundled up on Saturday, tramping up [...]

Ben and I had a long conversation a couple weeks ago, while we were in the car driving back to Cambridge from New Hampshire. We were talking about goals and dreams and we somehow got on the topic of the blog and what I want to do, career-wise, and eventually I found myself going on [...]

This photo from Eddie Ross’s house tour in Lonny Magazine is everything I love in one place.

My house is too formal!

(PS: Lonny, the photos are stunning, the content is great, and I can’t get through the magazine on my computer because the [...]

As we slip into Autumn, I’ve bought a few new things and am dreaming of a few others. It’s funny how universal that Back to School urge is; this is the one time of year when it’s incredibly hard to resist freshening up my wardrobe and the house. So far I’ve remained pretty restrained, but [...]

Regular readers are well aware of my adoration for Stone Soup Farm, the source of my wonderful CSA farm share for the last two years. The farm has kept us well fed with the most gorgeous vegetables (and eggs, this year!), continually reminding me of the value of eating local and supporting area farms. Stone [...]

Have many lovely photos of chickens/farm to post. Too lazy to upload. Computer running like molasses in winter and making even weirder sounds than usual. Back soon!

Three years ago at this very moment I was eating brunch with my bridesmaids before getting dressed for our wedding. We definitely faced the “for better or for worse” early on, but it has been the best time of my life, being married to Ben. Next month marks a DECADE since we started dating! Time [...]
