Bloggus Interruptus...

...which is the latin term for no new blog posts today, and is pretty much the way it's been for the past month around here.  Between the Circle B Kitchen renovations (photos now available on the photos tab) and then a trip to CA to introduce the newest member of the family (baby Ella) to the oldest, her 96-year old Great Grandma Phoebe, cooking, testing, researching and blogging has all but come to a screeching halt. 

And things aren't going to be picking up any time soon because this weekend The Husband and I are celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary!  And when I say celebrating, I mean we're taking a week off from life.  We may do some traveling, we may not.  We might get to some restaurants we've been dying to try, or we might not.  I might do some recreational cooking or I might not.  The point being, that we are surrounded here by indescribable summer beauty and an amazing new kitchen and we mean to take some time to enjoy it and celebrate the wonder of 45 years together.  

I will be back after this brief respite with what I hope will be a whole slew of new, fun and delicious things for you to make and share with your peeps.  In the meantime, you might amuse yourself and make your peeps quite happy by making a batch of these....
