What I’ve found when I’m ready to go to the kitchen and make Radish: 3 Ways, or grill a few chicken breasts that have been marinating overnight, my daily writing is done, photos edited, pitches sent and I have nothing to do except play in the kitchen, Reagan, my darling wire fox terrier, while on a short walk to pick up the daily mail, will find a fresh patch of deer piss and decided to stop, roll and then roll some more.

Now I don’t know about your dog, but my dog has a knack for doing this exact youvegottobekiddingme act of selfish-dogness (I swear that’s all I can think to call this madness) exactly one day after his last bath.

So as soon as I give him another bath, I’ll be back to continue with what I really want to write about: my new CSA farmers, Eloise and Chris.
