  • Backyard Cat Salon

    Backyard Cat Salon

    We had people over the other night. We grilled hamburgers from my parents’ farm, and melted cheese on them. Cooper sharp. It’s the best. Chad grilled some squash and made a salad. I made dessert, which we didn’t end up eating. So now my house is full of dessert, which I don’t mind at all.…

I wrote a food-based preview & recap of the city for the Town Dish, but this is a more general mini tour of Reykjavik.…
