I started writing this post last night, and then our power went out. I found a flashlight, tried to make sure all the lightswitches were off and the windows closed, and went to bed. Here’s Take Two:
We’ve been promising to post our slow-cooker chili recipe since before Zoey was born, but no such luck. [...]
