And So The Countdown Begins...

Well, I have to admit that I've totally been slacking on the cooking thing. It's like I'm in school again. Which means I'm just eating a lot of peanut butter (not necessarily sandwich), Greek yogurt, fresh fruits and veggies, string cheese, and protein bars. It's really exciting. I just haven't got back into cooking mode. I was too spoiled in Zambia. And then last week in Minnesota. 

Yes, I had my last summer adventure before starting work. I got to spend some time with family, which was a blessing. Played some quality card games. AND I got some really excellent sleep. I got the swinging bed in the basement. It's very quiet. And no light comes in. It's magical. 

I enjoyed some tasty cuisine prepared by my aunt, as well as fresh-baked bread and fresh-grown veggies (thanks to the grandfather). My favorite snack of the week would have to be the cherry tomatoes...which is weird because I don't generally just eat tomatoes. But these were fantastic. Sweet. Juicy. Goodness. There was quite the supply of tomatoes, so besides just munching on them, I had them in things like Texas Caviar and on a Naked Chicken Bruschetta Burger. Yum.

We spent much of our time sorting through things. Unpacking boxes. Packing boxes. It's just about miraculous that we managed to get about everything loaded in the car to come back to Oklahoma. My uncle has got some good packing skills! Seriously, we looked like the Clampetts. Rocking chair and all. But now I've got some pretty good stuffs for when I figure out where I'm living...I should work on that. 

But my last summer is winding down. And I'm getting ready to start work in just 18 days!

The countdown is on!
