I will be out of town for the next few days. I am going to Waupaca, Wisconsin for our annual family vacation. My parents have been going up to this chain of lakes since college. It is quite beautiful and relaxing. My brother took this picture of me there about two years ago. He is a superb photographer and you can see more of his work on his website. I will be happily grazing on pizza from the Wheelhouse, Swedish pancakes from King's Table, fried cheese curds from Clearwater Harbor, ice cream from Scooper's, and New Glarus beer while pondering what to make for the upcoming IMBB with the matcha powder that an excellent woman from the LTH Forums recently sent me in the mail.
Hi Gemma, lovely picture! Your trip sounds wonderful, have a great time. I'm insanely drawn to the idea of fried cheese curds.. Take a picture of those, will you? :)

Fabulous picture! I love black & white photography. Hmmmm. It seems I've discovered your blog just as you skipped out of town. Guess that gives me more time to sift through your archives. Looking forward to your return. Hope you have/had a wonderful time!

Hi Gemma - I hope you are having a lovely time with your family. I can't remember how, but I've actually been to your brother's site before... great pictures! I'm glad you are making something with matcha too, I just hope I'll have time to do it!
