Hi everyone,
If you’ve stopped by Food For La any time in the past month you’ve noticed my lack of posting. I won’t be updating again until after May 15th.
In the past month, lots of changes have been happening around here:
1. I got a fantastic offer to attend Clemson University for my MA in English and I’ve accepted. Roman now lovingly refers to me as Tiger Paw.
2. Roman and I were up there (it’s 5 hours from where we live on the coast) a couple of weeks ago and found a sweet house to rent.
3. The condo is a disaster as we’ve been packing up our stuff little by little, plus searching for and tracking down furniture on craigslist. It’s been a major success and we now have a dining room table with six chairs, coffee table, queen bedroom set, wing back chair, and linens chest hanging out in our living/dining room so it’s a bit of a mess.
4. My job as a consultant for a non-profit housing rehabilitation organization has continued to put more and more work on me. I’m developing a database that will allow all three of our locations to connect to access client records, funding sources, construction information, etc. In addition, one of our affiliate partners hired me as a freelance grant writer so I’ve essentially been working two jobs this past month.
Sorry for my absence although I have been eating all sorts of yummy things and have been working on and tweaking a polenta pizza recipe that I swear tastes exactly little Sicilian pizza. It needs a bit more work, but it’s almost there. For all of you gluten-free folks, be prepared for some serious yumminess when this is up. I also made homemade strawberry basil sorbet that was lovely.
Oh, and back to May 15th—that’s when we’re moving! Three weeks from today, so shortly thereafter I will be back in full force with recipes and pictures of my new home.
Hope you all are enjoying spring and don’t forget to check back next month
