Homemade Ravioli with Spinach & Homemade Goat's Milk Ricotta

 trader joe's sells goat's milk, so i bought it and turned it into ricotta.
i don't think i'll ever get over how easy it is to make that cheese. or how delicious.
then i had all this ricotta, and i didn't know what to do with it.
so i decided to fold it into some ravioli.
the thyme worked beautifully with the lemon that's used to make the cheese,
and we topped the cooked ravioli with a basic homemade tomato sauce.
cosi buona!

Whale Cards

recently while cleaning out my desk, i found a box of

and that i've always especially adored their boxset of 6 whales.
 i wish they'd do a limited run of poster sized prints for framing.

Camp Taylor / Delware Water Gap: NJ & PA

two weekends ago we went camping in the delaware water gap,
at a little, dog-friendly campsite by the name of camp taylor.
we pitched our tents, made hobo pies, slept through a rainy night,
and woke up, packed some peanut butter and banana sandwiches 
and went on a nice little 4 mile hike up mt. minsi.
