Out of town

Oh hello there!  I promise I didn't forget about you all.  It's been a busy few weeks.  I spent just over 2 weeks in Idaho, family reunion-ing for 6 days in the Tetons, working at my parents' house for a week and attending a lovely wedding of a dear friend in Sun Valley (luckily before the fires got too bad).

Then I was back home for about 36 hours before heading to New Orleans for a conference. This left approximately zero time for cooking and/or blogging about it.

I'm going to post a bunch of pictures with captions to get caught up and then I will start posting more regularly again (I promise!)

The cabin in Alta, WY! Ready for some quality Nothwehr time!

Happy 60th Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa!

The whole clan (minus Kevin, Erin/Josh and Lisa/Mark)

Kevin was at the reunion for about 14 hours.
He's very good at supervising dinner prep

Families that bike together look like nerds together.

 Am I right?

Wind cave!

Home sweet home!

Working hard or...

Dad thought my job did not seem strenuous enough
so he gave me some real work

Old retired dudes do what they want!

Ranch wedding!

These crazy kids got hitched!
And then the next morning we drove 800 miles back to SF

Jazz in New Orleans

My 4th ever baseball game: NOLA Zephyrs vs. Iowa Cubs

My dear friend Kate taught me how to keep score!

A second line parade!

I made it home safe and sound (and sleepy!) and now I never want to leave my house or dine out again (New Orleans makes my pants not fit).  

Stay tuned because I have something exciting planned for the eggplant in my first CSA box in 4 weeks!
