well, hello again.

Hello hello. Nice to see you again. We have some catching up to do. I wish I could say that I haven't written because of something important. But that just simply isn't the case. Just life. Everyday.


Food is the first to go.



I am embarrassed by the fast food consumed these past two months. I have to say that those $10 sandwiches eaten at my desk at work while answering emails are a sad excuse for lunch. (Okay, lunch at the vending machine is a bit worse, and I am guilty of that too). WHY oh why do we do this to ourselves? When every minute counts and your body needs fuel, why do we turn to the frozen food section and the meal helper solutions? When your husband is taking the bar exam and you just worked a 14 hour day... you just don't feel like pulling out the apron, that is why. And that is okay.

Time.

Time is my enemy these days. There are simply not enough hours in the day for the food that I want to cook and eat. Here is a good spot for another good beginning. The last draft that I saved was a fat fat fat Tuesday blog about the transition from the sinful fatty everyday to the Lenten season. Now that lent is over and done, and many other events in life have come and gone, we can shed all those wretched parts of ourselves and get back to the meat of it.

Dear blogger / blog-reading / blog-dabbling friend:

I promise to write when I can. I promise to write when I am inspired. I promise to press the "publish" button on all the drafts that make the cut. Until then, here are some greatest hits from the past couple of months...

- the best wedge salad ever with Roquefort dressing
- the easiest and tastiest salsa you have ever made from a magazine clipping
- mustard seed crusted pork tenderloin with caramelized shallots, mashed potatoes, and radishes with butter
- chicken breast with tarragon cream sauce, endive and spinach salad with toasted almonds and dried cranberries

Until next time. Put that box of hamburger helper down and take a deep breath. You are almost there.
