Back From “Pure Michigan”…..

Hello Everyone!

So sorry to be MIA!  No WiFi at our family lake house in “Pure Michigan.”   Too much effort to seek it out as I was a lazy loaf for a week!

Didn’t stop cooking, however, did plenty of that!  Gotta eat, right?  Had a really nice Italian dinner last night.  I made a Simple Marinara Sauce with a fun curly fusilli pasta, grilled hot Italian sausages, homemade Caesar salad (mine of course!), and homemade Garlic Bread.   It’s a little wierd having such a comfort type of dinner at a lake house in the middle of summer, but I sometimes crave a little of that.

So glad to be home!  Much of my focus has been getting Jack ready for his first year of college.  Big stuff.  I’m so excited for him, I think more so than he is presently.  Fear of the unknown and all that .

Speaking of unknown, if you printed my recipe for Raspberry Bars, please reprint!  Thankfully Susan casually mentioned that the eggs might go in somewhere!  I immediately made the correction, geeze!  Hopefully if you were in the midst of making them you’d have put them in as you normally would, with the sugar and butter, so sorry if I caused any inconvenience!!  Must be more careful, sometimes I work on posts late in the evening when I’m fried!  You know, when no one is asking where their shoes, hat, or wallet might be!

I’ve missed posting, please bear with me, I have sooooo many ideas I’m just dying to share:-)

Have a great day!

Angie

ps-the beautiful rose bush pictured is actually a desendant of a rose bush my Mother gave to my Grandma Rose when she was about 8 years old.  This bush has been going for over 60 years!  How cool is that???
