Because sometimes it’s just nice to know that others feel this way, too.

Cheesy Fried Green Tomatoes are pure heaven. Heaven I say! The key is in the cornmeal.

Tomato and Fresh Basil Crostini. With Feta and roasted garlic cheese spread I might add. My stomach is doing cartwheels today, but this still looks pretty tasty. One thing that made its way home in my carry-on was a bag of fresh tomatoes from my grandmother’s garden. YUM.

Whew.
After a great trip home, a reunion that was less awkward than expected and a return trip delayed by an entire day I’m finally back. However, I am feeling quite rundown and even a little homesick/weepy, so posting will be light for the next few days. I returned to work this morning to a whopping 81 emails in my inbox and am slowly digging my way out from under them all.
Good to be back in Blogland!

And I’m out. Closing up shop for a few days while I take a much needed trip back home to Pennsylvania. It’s ten year reunion time for this girl and I’m looking forward to seeing my family at the same time. I usually only make it home during the holidays thanks to a pesky little thing called vacation days. (Insert Grrr here). I’ll be back Monday – have a fantastic week/weekend all!
