Shiny and New

Have you noticed anything new about the blog? If you're perusing this in a reader, stop by the actual site. Kitchen Courage has a new look! It's not as fancy or as cute as the last layout, but I enjoy the clean simplicity of this one. Plus it allows me to not have to worry about image size, since even a moderately sized image overtook the narrow text field of the previous layout. So welcome to the made-over Kitchen Courage!

This morning's coffee got a makeover, too.


Those are vanilla meringue cookies floating atop my caffeine. My thoughts on this new discovery? Yum, yum, and, after careful consideration, yum! In fact, it was almost as delicious as the brunch buffet that the Best Husband Ever and I shared with his local family and my visiting east coast folks.

The food was pretty good, and the view of the icy river even better, but the most wonderful part of this meal was just getting to hang out as a family. My parents flew in from my native New Jersey yesterday, and they were eager to meet up with my in-laws. I'd say that everyone went home full of good food and good feelings.

Can you guess how I expressed my happiness? Or perhaps I should say hoopiness. . . .
