It's Been A While...

But I'm here. Surviving. Living life. Since the last time I blogged not that much has happened. We did have an unsuccessful camping trip, which I plan to blog about later, but that's about it. Right now I'm at work and obviously not working. I've been having trouble focusing on the tedious tasks that lay before me. Hopefully my productive spirit will come back soon.

Sunday myself and three coworkers leave for yet another class in Austin and I really can't wait. It can be hard work, but it usually ends up being a break from dishes, dog duty, cleaning, cooking and etc. It doesn't hurt a bit that I'll enjoy the company of my family at least one of the nights I'll be there.

Jason and some of my family members have long-heralded my cooking abilities. They are all slightly biased, but I guess my food is at least edible by most. I've finally started finding inspiration in cookbooks rather than straight reproduction and sat down today and wrote my first "real" recipe. I'm itching to give it a go, but will have to wait since my Mexican Chicken Soup is in the crock pot as we speak. I guess that's why I finally decided to post something again. It gives me an incentive to try out my new recipe and maybe post the delicious results here. Or maybe I can recall for you the horrors of the meal it ended up being. Either way, coming up with my own recipes to feed my family with has long been an ambition of mine and it looks like I'm going to dive in head first and tell you all about it!!

Here's to you and yours and the epicurean adventures to come!!
