As for the cutting board, refinish it.

Very easy to do and it’ll look brand new.

Good luck.

Who do you think you’re talking to, Ilona? LOL! Don’t you know that we track you like wolves after wounded deer?

Sorry, that sounded way less creepy in my head!

It is nearly five in the morning here. I got up to use the bathroom and discovered I don’t feel incredibly crappy for the first time in days (the cough is still annoying, though) and I realized there are (gasp) posts on the blog I haven’t read. Well, sleep can wait for a few minutes as I go to remedy that!

The BDH won’t ever let you be lonely. I’m talking only ONLINE stalking though.

Seasonal depression is a thing. Make sure you care for yourself when you are looking after everyone else.

I have had it for years. It gets slightly warped. I flip it over. It gets stained, I clean it with lemon juice. I got a scotch from a hot pan. That side is down when company is over. My sons find it amusing. They should the eldest is responsible for the scorch. It has history. It still works great.

We have four seasons: sunny and hot with cool nights, sunny and mild with cold nights, sunny and cold, and then cold/mild/hot/freezing/hot totally at random and changing everyday, but still sunny.

Williams Sonoma has a few selections, but less every year. I hear London calling.

Enjoy your tea and may your holiday project behave!
