Yes, I know, I know, I've been dreadfully behind on this thing. I can explain! I'm not in Portland anymore!
So here's what happened: I just haven't been finding anything in Portland. At all. So when my roommate suddenly got a job in San Francisco, I figured that instead of trying to find a new place, it made more sense to move home for a bit and reevaluate things. After moving out June 1 I drove up to Seattle for a long weekend to do some job hunting and networking there, drove back to PDX and flew out a few days later for baby brother's graduation. Graduation was the expected combination of hectic and great, and from there my family flew off to Bermuda! After a few days there, I flew back to Portland, picked up my car and zoomed on home (but don't worry, Mom, I didn't speed!).
Having been back in California for about 2 weeks now, I'm finally settled and organized. As you may imagine, I've been a bit scatterbrained with all the travel.
California has been pretty fabulous so far. I've missed the sun more than I realized. I'm lucky to have a great house, a big kitchen (complete with dishwasher and disposal!!), and a gorgeous garden! I'm getting really spoiled by all the fresh fruit and herbs right outside. In my opinion, that's the best kind of spoiled to be.
So for at least the next little bit, expect recipes with lots of limes, plums, and lemons (since we have an abundance on hand), as well as grilled things since I have a gas grill here.
