Sorry for the extended lull around here. Since last I posted, I packed up everything Nick and I own (did you know you can vacuum-pack with a regular vacuum and some garbage bags?), put it into five suitcases, brought said suitcases to the airport along with a cat in a small, cramped carrier, and flew across the continent to my ancestral home: New Jersey. I’ve officially moved back East!

Since I’ve been back at the Jersey shore, it’s been nothing but funerals and birthdays, including one birthday cake I would have shared with you had it not failed so miserably. It’s hard getting back into the swing of operating a stand mixer, it turns out!

I am settling in slowly, and my stuffed suitcases still sit in the kitchen of my mother’s house, where I’ve set up camp until I find an apartment in New York City (our ultimate destination), and where I wait anxiously for Nick to make his way east as well.

Recipes and pictures will come, I assure you, but not today. I do promise that I’ll be plotting my next culinary undertaking as I unpack my life, though. See you at the beach!
