  • On Brand – 9 Mar 25

    Fun fact: I had this all mainly drafted and already to go… and forgot to finish it on Sunday when I had a costume fitting, yoga, and two blocks of rehearsal. Y’all know I never claimed to be a proper blogger. 🍴: Mon- the world’s fastest caldo verde soup inspired by this month’s Food &

  • On Brand – 2 Mar 25

    🍴: Mon – because I anticipated having a rehearsal conflict on Saturday for intermediate ballet, I popped into tonight’s beginner 2 class, so Hampton took care of dinner and did a lentil/merguez/feta shenanigans much like we did a few weeks ago and I was so ready to eat after an hour of strength training before

  • RAGTIME

    As mentioned: I’m in rehearsals! I’m in the ensemble of RAGTIME with Piedmont Opera. I’ll have more to share about this moving forward — maybe? Who knows. — but for now, here are the details.
