Kitchen Roselli

I hold this place close to my heart, like a happy secret. Tucked inside an old general store in the tiny town of East Bend, Kitchen Roselli quietly and consistently serves the best Italian food you'll ever have. Old, wide floorboards, ancient ceiling fans, twinkling Christmas lights, and no pretension... the perfect setting for a leisurely Saturday supper.

November

I'm so busy at work, and with the new house, I can barely sleep at night. And it's not the busy trap. I am legit busy.  November is a hectic month, but at the end? That very last weekend? My favorite holiday. I can't wait to get cozy and celebrate with family and friends.

I'll admit it: when I read Laurie Anderson's farewell to her husband, I cried into my coffee.  It's beyond words.
