Disappearing act

Yeah, I know. I maybekindasortaprettymuchdefinitely have not blogged. In quiiiiite awhile.

But. I have a very good reason – you see, my kitchen has looked like this:

and this:

and this:

and even this: (eww!)

all of which makes it kind of hard to cook/photograph/share with you.

But the kitchen is allllmost done – at least that’s what my husband tells me.

Through all this time, we’ve been rewiring, refinishing, and reminding each other why we started this project in the first place.

But during this chaos, we’ve been blessed with some nice surprises. Andrew received a fantastic fellowship for next year, my old car bit the dust and we got a new (to us) one and Sherlock is almost back to his old self, barking at barely audible noises,trotting out to inspect the garden and toting his ‘baby’ everywhere (see first picture above.)

As far as food goes, we’ve waved good-bye to the last of the asparagus

and consumed large quantities of pizza…lots and lots of pizza…

(recipe forthcoming)

So, thanks for your patience while life took over.

I’ve sorely missed cooking and writing and playing around with the camera. But now I’m back (though the recipes may take awhile to catch up :))
