I'm back

Yeah, so I realize it's been quite some time since I've written anything and that my previous posts were few and far between, but just so you know, I'm back.

I realize that you have all probably been agonizing over the mystery of "whatever happened to Rachel", so here are a few answers as to what I have been up to:

1) Moved downtownish to Normal Heights and love it. I can walk everywhere and I pay way less for so much more.

2) Planted a garden and realized my thumb is a grayish sort of green. All the flowers died, but the edibles are plugging right along, no thanks to me I'm sure. More to come on it's progress.

3)I've been stalking my grandpa's Santa Rosa Plum tree. Last year I was the lucky recipient of every last one of those suckers and I put them to good use, let me tell you. It's blossoming and upon my verbal observation of this, my grandpa reassured me that I wouldn't be recieving a single one this year; for he is going to can them.

4)Being generally lazy and catching up on all of my favorite reality shows such as The Real Housewives of NYC, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Dancing with the Stars, and the ever educational What Not to Wear.

5)Making killer desserts for Blind Lady Ale House. If you haven't been you simply must check it out. It's killer pizza with great ingredients like artisan cheeses and local produce, not to mention the house made sausage on the salsiccia pizza. Spicy sausage, rapini, oregano, and mozzarella cheese. yum! Oh yeah, I'm not a beer drinker but, they've got an amazing selection of craft beers, including one of there own on tap.

6)Doing the dishes.

Any how, just wanted to let you know I'm back and I'm better than ever. No longer over worked and underpayed, Barry and I decided to call it quits with the ol' Flour Shoppe (R.I.P). It was a lot of work, my friends, no joke. I wish I'd blogged about it the whole time, 'cause it was an interesting ride. But the good news is now I'm on to other things. Such as my new obsession with ice cream sandwiches...
