"This morning I got to learn that you can be late to check into your flight, lesson learned- don't cuddle with your dogs for too long (even when they're extra cute laying on your pillow with you and you thought 30min was enough time). Ooooooooops.
The flight they put me on instead is now delayed probably because the universe and I have been having some weird times lately. I just want to play with pasta made by my girl @saltyseattle! I'll be photographing more of her cookbook this week.. well, once a plane gets me to her. (her last post has the natural ingredient names shown if you're curious about the colors)"
