Wow, I just noticed that I haven’t posted since May 19! A lot has been going on that has kept me busy.
First the big news – I finally have a job lined up for the fall (when my current boss retires). I’m so glad to be done with the whole job search and interview process. It was starting to get rather stressful.
My husband and I recently celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary at a fabulous restaurant — St. John’s Restaurant in Chattanooga, TN. I’ll have to write more about that dinner later. They never fail to provide some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, and keep it safely gluten free for me. (They even gave us each a free glass of champagne since it was our anniversary.)
And now I get to go on vacation! Yeah! We are going to Cape Cod to visit my family. It’s still a little on the cool side up there, but that will be such a nice change from the 90+ and humid I am experiencing just now. I’m almost organized. At least I don’t have to worry too much about food – just something for the actual trip up there, which really just means a few snacks. I’ve got someone looking after my house, my pets, and my plants. And work can always survive without me.
So I’ll be even more absent from my blog for a little while.
I’m a bit late in getting my menu up. Natalie, the founder of the Gluten-Free Menu Swap, is hosting this week, so check out her page for a round-up of lots great menus. The ingredient of the week is cabbage. I don’t have any in the house, so I think I’ll have to skip it. Sorry! So here’s my menu, sans cabbage:
Monday:
Grilled Sausage
Potato Salad
Garden Salad
Tuesday:
General Tso’s Chicken
Rice
Wednesday:
Pasta Primavera
(or some such pasta with vegetables)
Thursday:
Pork Roast
Roast Vegetables
Friday:
Leftovers before heading to the airport
I am hoping to make Kate’s Croissants this week. I forgot a few of the ingredients when I was shopping this weekend, so I’ll have to head to the store tomorrow. They might have to wait until I get back. I adopted her in the “Adopt a Blogger” for the sole purpose of making them, but she has so many yummy recipes, including her recent potstickers or her lavash bread, that I will get something up this week. I think I have half her blog bookmarked!
Oh, and I’ve also been working in the garden a bit.

Sorry about getting that link up so late! I don’t know why I forgot!

Carrie – I’m so ready for a vacation! Our dinner out really was amazing and they were able to alter some of the dishes so I could have them. I got to have the appetizer of tuna tartare and seared tuna, then followed that with a main course of antelope with a huckleberry compote and side of sweet potato puree. Can you say decadent???
I’m actually leaning towards trying Kate’s flat bread tonight so I can pack a sandwich for the plane trip. The croissants might have to wait until things are a little less crazy.
I’ll try to remember to post photos from my trip.
