Glad to be back in the kitchen...

We had 6 new recipes posted last week, which is pretty small for what we would normally talk about. Since we are home for the next 4 weeks, expect the number of recipes to increase to about what we used to do. The countdown to the big cross-country move is on; 27 days until we fly out to Maryland for the last time and wait for the packers to bring up the stuff from Phoenix.

Thankfully, US Airways came through and actually delivered our missing luggage to us this evening. Whew! Since we have been back and forth to Maryland for the last month, we had nothing fresh in the fridge... so today we did a pretty big grocery shopping trip. We picked up a couple new-to-us items and here is a quick snap from one we will be using in a sweet item later in the week. Care to toss a guess as to what these are?

I waited until this morning to get the menu planned out for this week. I picked out some recipes that I'm sure will leave Jeff saying "Oh god, what are we trying now!" Stay tuned... lots of fresh ingredients will be showing their charm this week!

  2. I'd like to say that the bottom two look like bowls of peanuts and the top looks like peanuts and roasted marcona almonds. But, I could be way off and they could be kibukim. ;D
