it’s been a while

Well.

I certainly didn’t expect to be gone that long. I apologize! After #scintilla, I was kinda feeling detached from my blog, so I took a break.

But I’ve returned. Not sure if I am going to do daily bloggings though. You’d think I would, since I basically have all the time in the world.

Anyway!

Things haven’t changed much around here. Mr. Fox is thriving at his new job, the cats are all still little (and big) stinkers, and I am still milling about the house during my down time. My knitting progress is slow, because I’ve finally learned that it is in fact very important to swatch for proper gauge, and therefore I’ve had to rip out and restart the same hat a couple times. It’s an annoying process, but I suppose I’ll get used to doing it since I’d rather not rip out projects due to lazy knitting.

I am also sorry I haven’t been putting up any recipes. It’s getting warmer and we haven’t put in our window AC yet, so putting the oven on in an already hot-ass kitchen can be bothersome, so I’ve been cooking less new things in favor of quick and easy. Shortly though, I will have some new recipes to put up.

I kinda broke my streak of not having soda a while ago, but I am happy to say that I’ve been soda free for 17 days now. Almost to 21 (because it takes 21 days to break a habit, as they say). I am working on a healthier me. It’s a work in progress, and a slow one at that, but I’m getting there. Just going to try and take it one day at a time.

New, big things are coming. I am just impatiently waiting for them.

    I would love to see that chicken and grilled veggie recipe! :)

      They were actually roasted veggies! I tossed them with basting oil and put the in a baking dish at 350 for 15 minutes, then laid the chicken breasts on top and baked for another 20 minutes. This will vary though depending on how thick your chicken breasts are. My recommendation would be to pound them out to an even thickness first.
