The highlight of this past week was a spontaneous meeting with my best friend, Kim.
Kim had a lay-over in the airport near my house and I was able to meet up with her for about an hour. It was a huge blessing. I miss her dearly -- 6 months has been a long time!
I also got a wonderful early birthday present from Frog Prince! Oh... I'm super excited about it and can't wait to share it with you. Frog Prince was traveling last week for a few days, so I didn't do a whole lot of cooking. We did enjoy:
