http://julietries.blogspot.com/2013/07/a-new-front-door.html
A New Front Door. I always loved this door. It had great midcentury modern style and so perfectly fit with our little brick ranch house that was, naturally, built in the middle of the last century.

And apparently I've been in a comfort food kind of mood lately, because we had all three of those things in the past week. Only the macaroni and cheese didn't actually involve macaroni. Instead, it was with quinoa. Plus it provides a nice alternative to rice or pasta. Fortunately, you can see the lovelier version when you visit the recipe here. And when we ate leftove...
