I can’t resist plugging Kenny’s latest show: He’s part of the Maryland Institute College of Art’s “The Seam” exhibit, which will be in the Fox 3 Gallery at MICA – Fox Building, 3rd Floor, 1301 West Mount Royal Avenue in Baltimore, until February 15th. I know I’m biased, but I’m going to offer my opinion anyway: [...]

Inspired by this post by Three Many Cooks, I actually did ask for a Dutch oven for Christmas. I was lucky enough to get one, and I’ve been popping popcorn like crazy ever since.
