It’s high time to slip another Currently post into the mix. Instead of rambling on, as is my usual custom, I’m getting right to the point today. You’re welcome. Current Book: I’m devouring Lindsay Cotter’s Nourishing Superfood Bowls cookbook. I feel healthier already, and I’ve only ogled the pictures and perused the recipes. I’m dying…
