I've taken a pretty long leave of absence from this blog. This is partly due to the creation of another blog for the newly established Congerville Farmers' Market. At the end of May, our little village hosted it's first Farmers' Market and each week it has been a great success. I've been on the coordinating end of things for the Market and have had a host of willing volunteers that have helped make it all possible. We've had anywhere from 4 to 9 vendors each week with a great variety of local produce & products. I'm enjoying keeping things running and the blog for the Market really helps keep people updated and coming each week. If you're interested in the Congerville Farmers' Market, check it out at congervillefarmersmarket.blogspot.com We're there every Thursday from 5-8pm.
Another reason for my absence from this blog is that for, oh, about 2 months I was having a difficult time finding the energy, or the stomach to talk much about food. I know, this is strange for someone that has had a food blog for several years, and food never seemed to be far from my mind. We'll I do have a pretty good explanation for this abnormality...it also explains the abnormally large midsection I'm sporting now. If you haven't guessed by now, my husband and I are expecting a baby this coming January! I'm almost 19 weeks now and everything seems to be going well. We are very excited and are looking forward to this new chapter in our life! For those who have the common questions, let me provide some brief answers:
Q: How have you been feeling?
A: Pretty good! I've been able to stay active and eat well (now). Keeping the weight gain going at normal pace and trying not to overdue it.
Q: Are you going to find if it's a boy or a girl?
A: No and we are excited for the surprise! Next week is our ultrasound where we could find out. Hoping the Dr. doesn't slip!
Q: Are you excited?
A: YES!
Q: Do you have names picked out?
A: Yes, and we're not telling! :)
Q: Do you have any cravings?
A: Nothing weird in general...just weird for me. French fries & chocolate shakes have been the weirdest. :)
So now that those things are out of the way, I will tell you that I'm going to try to start doing a bit more posting. I've taken some pictures of some great new recipes we've tried, and hope to get them up soon. I've notice my page views for the blog have jumped significantly and hope that means more people are interested and aware that I'm here! So be patient with me and I hope to be posting again shortly!
