She lives, she breathes, she take a summer break

For the few of you who do check in here occasionally to follow my culinary adventures , I do apologize.
You see the last few weeks of school, the move from Out of the Frying Pan to here, the house remodeling, working on my portfolio, and sigh, THE HEAT, have all conspired to keep me from my appointed duties.  I know, dear readers, that I owe you all a tour through Italy, details of my six week teaching assistant experiences and oh so much more, but damned if I can't light the forth fire under my butt to get to it.
Do have patience, I promise to start back up over here soon.  For now, I shall endeavor to get the remainder of the back links posted from the 'Pan'.

How's your summer?
