I meant to share this weeks ago, but… whoops? So, here we go. Instead of doing the writing I should be doing for a paycheck. On a Saturday night. Good times at Flat 493. Ann-as-salad 🥗 — watermelon radishes: rarely seen out and about here in Winston-Salem — grilled shishito peppers: perhaps overdone, but also

I’m participating in another August Break from Susannah Conway on Instagram. I’ve really come to appreciate these times of focus every few months.
