What's been cooking
We're still trying to get our schedules to line up enough to do our big inaugural cook-and-post effort on this new blog. In the meantime, you can see some of what we've been cooking lately on our Pinterest recipe boards (Kristin, Kyle). Enjoy!

What a mess
We live in a fishbowl. Some people call it the Holy Hill, but we try not to and would prefer that you didn't. We are two aspiring priests in the Episcopal Church. We live a couple blocks away from the seminary where Kristin has just begun three years of study for ministry and where Kyle has just begun working after three years of study himself. We love the church, love our school, and love the people we live, work, and study with.
But sometimes it all makes us a little crazy.
We're recently married, and our worlds have not only collided, they have been more or less reduced to the size of a couple of big suburban blocks in the hot, sprawling traffic-fest that is Northern Virginia. It's a far cry from Madison, WI, where we met, and New York City, where we've spent a majority of our time together in our young relationship.
And so we cook together to stay sane. It wasn't even our idea. Kristin's mom threw us a little engagement party after we popped the question about a year and a half ago. At that party, a couple gave us a copy of The Joy of Cooking and said it was the best marriage handbook they knew of. That seems like better advice each day as we adjust to life in the fishbowl.
This blog is where we invite you into that holy mess, and the messes we'll create as we cook for pleasure and sanity in the weeks and years ahead. Welcome to our blog.
