Yes thank you! More days like this!!!Really great trip to @union_city_farm !!! I’ve never seen such beautifully HUGE shrooms!! Patrick was terrific w/ explaining great ways to cook the various assortment of offerings. And the micro greens are 🔥 Defo a new fave place - and always love supporting local producers!Bangers and mash zza. Thanks @s_ggreco for the noms!It’s taken me nearly three years to get here, and I wish I’d come sooner!! @opendoortea is such a cute and comfy vibe with delicious food (and plenty of vegan/gf options!!) and the tea selection…swoon!! A good reminder that it’s important to treat yourself with gentle love and kindness. And Open Door Tea makes that sooo easy ☕️ ❤️Obligatory birthday post! Coming into 32 is feeling a bit strange. Maybe it’s just coming down from the insanity of the holidays, general malaise, or knowing I want more but not sure how to get it…whatever it is, I’m going to focus on being present in the moment and enjoying my many blessings.Best Christmas ever (so far). All thanks to @s_ggreco ♥️-
