My boyfriend — fiance, rather — proposed on Wednesday, and I'm happy to say: He went to Sharbuno.
Nick and I have, for a long time, supported the idea of local shopping, homegrown and healthy cooking, homemade projects and thrifty spending. We've dedicated a little extra in our budget toward the consistent purchase of cage free eggs and chicken. Beef is next, though it is a bigger expenditure and harder to find.

The message between the lines on this one is: I got engaged!! Nick tricked me through two dates: a Valentine's Day come and gone with no sparkly thing on my finger, and an 11-year dating anniversary date on …
