For the love of collards

I made a connection with another Portland Examiner, Aqiylah Collins, who writes about holistic health. This month she is doing a series of articles to celebrate Black History Month, highlighting African-American foods. Her latest article is about the history and health benefits of collard greens and she quotes me talking about how I love my mom's collards. Mmm. I want some now, actually.

I also finally wrote my book review for the novel Push. I'm going to try to update my Cafe´au lait blog more.

Craig is doing well with his wrist, but he is getting a little tired of wearing the splint. We went to Burgerville, a Northwest burger chain, for lunch on both Monday and Tuesday, so that was fun. Today I took Gabe to storytime down the street at the cupcake shop. The weather here is lovely, clear skies and comfortably cool. I'm sure the rain will sent back in soon, but for right now it's great.

Hope everyone is having a good week!
