Apron Stage and Manfriend

From November 2008 through May 2010, Sarah was one of four regular bloggers for The Apron Stage,


which featured short anecdotal essays about daily living. When she started dating Jed, she had to reveal to him her secret--a very public life. Though he handled it with aplomb (he was, it turns out, totally great about it), she gave him a pseudonym--"Manfriend"--by which she referred to him in her posts, until she revealed his real name as a present on his birthday. (It was just one of her gifts to him. She gave him other stuff too. Promise.)

The following links are to The Apron Stage posts in which Sarah mentions Manfriend/Jed, in chronological order. For posterity (and you, if you're interested).
