I love summer. \u00a0I love getting out in the sun, swimming, picking berries, going to farmer’s markets, reading on the beach, camping, summer events…. summer is my favorite time of year. \u00a0It’s what I look forward to all year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I do NOT want to spend my summer on crutches with this knee of mine. \u00a0However, I think that might be my fate. \u00a0We find out Monday. \u00a0Yes, I hurt it again. \u00a0No, I don’t want to talk about it. \u00a0(For the record, I was over helping my mother out, and stepped wrong on the stairs. \u00a0Not out being wild or anything.)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, the biggest thing I love about summer is all the fresh food. \u00a0Everything tastes better in the summer, when it’s been freshly picked, or bought at the farmer’s market. \u00a0And although we’re eating pizza for lunch today, I’m getting ready to make some seriously fresh foods for the week. \u00a0Tonight we start with a ham steak and steamed broccoli with bacon and garlic. \u00a0And probably mashed potatoes, although we’ll see. \u00a0Nom.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m also going to make another batch of Chex Mix (maybe I’ll make that tomorrow over at Mom’s, since I’ll be at Mom’s for the day), and some marinaded chicken. \u00a0I need to get salad stuff too – I’m on a serious Caesar salad kick for some reason. \u00a0I think it’s time to pull out my cookbooks and see what kind of seasonal recipes I can find. \u00a0Also, I need to bake something. \u00a0I’m craving baked goods, and the good GF ones are expensive. \u00a0Maybe I’ll do biscuits?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I need to sew too. \u00a0Palio is next weekend (eek!) and I promised a friend I’d have her sari hemmed. \u00a0I need to go and get the thread for that, and then do it. \u00a0And finish my skirt. \u00a0And pants. \u00a0And go to work. \u00a0And write.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Good lord, what a life. \u00a0I love it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oh, and now we can officially announce it – my hubby started his new job this week! \u00a0So yay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
