Long time...

no see? no hear? This is a blog so Im not too sure which goes best-see or here, but either way it's been a long time since I've written here with any regularity. I must confess, I don't have the best excuse for. My "real" job, which I don't talk about much here took a (positive) turn for the busier, and I have been trying to learn a new balance. It has been a real learning experience for me, but one that I think I am finally wending my way through. As a final way of getting a handle on my new responsibilities etc- I have taken a little mini vacation for myself. Vacation-you know those glorious days of sleeping in, staying up late, kicking the "norm" of routine to the curb, and really taking care of yourself? Yeah that's what I'm on right now- VACATION! So what does that mean for you my wonderful readers? Well I am spending my time in the kitchen (um and napping), but more in the kitchen creating all sorts of dishes and tasty treats. So far- I spent a glorious afternoon at a Farmers Market, I made a big bowl of fresh Gazpacho, a big plate of thicky, rich brownies, and I am all set to try my hand at a host of different baking experiments with the beautiful ends of Summer Produce. I will have a host of new posts for you all soon, a long with a few items of very exciting news to reveal over the next several weeks. I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!!
