lacking sanity....

12 days of no posting is a great way to lose any followers my little blog might have had. Being in Indiana, traveling back to North Carolina, and going through doggy-surgery (that's what happens when your little dog eats bread ties, tupperware, string, and hair in the same week) has left me out of the kitchen. And it's been way, waaayyyy too hot to cook.

But tomorrow I am trying out 5 (count 'em 5) new recipes that I'll report back on! I plan on sticking pretty close to Tartlette's nectarine galette and macarons (different from macaroons apparently), as well as Ree the Pioneer Woman's Malted Milk Chocolate Chip cookies. The pepperjack potato salad will be my own, with some heavy borrowing/guidance from a recipe my cousin Mandy gave me. Get this-potato salad without mustard, mayo, or eggs! She took out all the gross and just left the delicious. and bacon. and I'm going to try to add pepperjack cheese. We'll see. Finally, I'm going to try to make my own hummer (black bean and roasted red pepper) just because I want to know if I can. Look for posts on all these soon!
