The obvious thing to do to celebrate Pi Day is to make pie! Not only is pie delicious but its round shape is the perfect jumping off point to [...] gratuitous picture of the little dog One thing I learned at my recent trip to the Blissdom blogging conference is that this blog might serve readers better if I ask readers what they want.

Columbus has an abundance of interesting local food and gardening events again this month. Enjoy! Hounds in the Kitchen events Kids Cook – Thursdays from 11:15am-12pm at Sprout Soup.

I want to hold a day long open workshop for all ages where we create art with our food (and then eat it!). Instead of a stodgy review process, the $1000 grant winner will be decided [...] A week ago, my grandmother sent a thick envelope. Inside were brochures about the Great Backyard Bird Count.
