Apologies

Well, I came to apologize. This summer I've been without an operating camera and, frankly, I've been too busy having fun to document all the summer goodies I cooked up. Living with my grandparents, I had access to so many baking and cooking supplies, I was overwhelmed. I won't tempt you with all the fresh pesto, tomato sauce, a favorite muffin recipe I made too many times to count with all the wonderful summer fruit you could imagine, this cake, oh, and this one too, twice! My grandfather, being a baker, also gave me a few pointers and lessons in bread baking, which was awesome! I truly enjoyed my summer and when I wasn't in the kitchen (cuz let's be honest, I wasn't THAT often) I was eating my way through the town, visiting all the fabulous restaurants. Man did I eat well!

So while I don't have any pictoral evidence of the summer, I do have good news! I've been at the beach this week, and man, have we eaten well! From chicken lasagna and homemade waffles, to bubble tea and grilled pizza. We've been eating some wonderful dishes, and I have two new posts to bring in the weeks to come. So while you wait, and I hopefully don't procrastinate, keep eating yummy seasonal local foods and I'll be back to a very humble hall kitchen since I'm back in the dorms this year. Hopefully that won't slow me down too much, I'm sure it won't considering the chocolate cake with homemade buttercream and a chocolate ganache I made literally by hand my freshman year. Bon Appetit!
