Tentatively Testing the Tempered Waters...

I know I have fallen off the blogger planet and am going to try to get back into the swing of things. It being October and all... holy crap! when did it get to be October?!?!

And for the record, I am now in Denver. I miss St. Louis a ridiculous amount, tis true. Things didn't go quite as smoothly as we would have liked. In fact, they went pretty dreadfully but it turns out it was all for the best because I may have new *news* Oct. 10th. {sigh} And yeah, I'm sick of me too. heh.

So when I should really be focused on this...


Instead I'm focused on this...


How am I supposed to help myself when my new Farmers' Market has a wonderful organic farm that not only grows a ton of different peppers, they also fire roast them right before my eyes (and celebratory nose). Did I mention the homemade tortillas?? I have amazing choices here and a market every day of the week. I still haven't found eggs though so boo hiss. I'm trying to settle in and now that I have a functioning oven hope to get back on the baking bandwagon.

In fact... I'm typing up the cupcakes I made for my final hurrah before leaving my old job (I'm just now finding the notes). I need you to hold me to it so I don't get sidetracked by dreams of mexican food, lemon cake and the dentist. Blame the weirdness on the alien inside of me. And I'm hoping to get caught up on my blogging friend reading. I'm so far behind on what everyone is up to it's shameful. I've gotten lazy with Twitter.

I've honestly missed you all. Hope everyone out there is happy and looking forward to a beautiful Fall. Now wish me some cooler weather darnit~ 80's be GONE!

By focusing on the organic farmers market, you are focusing on the little one. You have plenty of time to focus on them later, when they are out and crying and need to be fed, burped, changed or rocked to sleep. (Im totally freaking you out now arent I?) ;)

Glad you are back TW, MISSED YOU!

Well hello stranger! For some reason I knew that you were moving and I didn't know moving. I am showing my age with my memory loss huh? Glad you're settling into Denver life. Miss your blog updates!

I'm sending you cool weather vibes. We need them here in CA too!

Here's a little cool weather, and a travel suggestion: I've heard rumors that the train ride from Denver to SLC is fabulous . . . then fly back. Really. While you're in Utah, go up to Logan and visit Crumb Brother's, they'll make your day. And they can tell you where to get eggs . . . ;) Hey, it's kind of local?!

Girl, "I hardly knew ye". When you Twitted yesterday that you were going to the farmers market, I wondered, hmm, Did I miss the move? I guess we all did! All the best to you in your new life. How about we make you an 'honorary' St. Louis food blogger? : - )

Ben said...

We've missed you too! TONS AND TONS. But at least you are settling down and have homemade tortillas at hand (corn, right?) Take your time, we are not going anywhere :-p

We've missed you too. Fun to see the baby pic!

*sobs* It's my own fault.. I have no one to blame but myself... I should have been reading! I should not have disconnected myself from the world! *wins the blogger drama ho award*

But did you know I hope to be moving to Denver in 2-3 months? Of course you had no idea... because I'm a terrible blogger. *sigh* And we could have met when I was visiting my bf from Oct. 9th to Oct. 14th. in Denver.

The things one learns from using Twitter.........

Gabi said...

So glad you're back! Since the baby is still connected anything you focus on is focusing on the babe. (Like my convenient logic?)
Take care and don't sweat it just enjoy getting back into the groove.
