Morning. Not stupid early, but not late morning, it’s 8:30am and your eyelids open after a solid, undisturbed 8 hour sleep.

All the excitement about Daniella’s birthday yesterday, coupled with a plethora of chickpeas in my house right now, got me thinking about chips and dip– if there’s one food Daniella loves, it’s chips and dip.
