one year...

It's been an entire year since I've posted! I logged in today almost by accident and realized it. My life has been a wild rollercoaster this year...sometimes with amazing highs and plenty of frightening lows. I've come out a stronger and more confident woman because of this. And am going to be back blogging about my travels, food, and other random thoughts. I just returned from a trip to the DC area, NYC, CT, and NJ last week. I had an amazing time visiting friends and eating my heart out around town! :) Also in 2008 I went to Israel, Jordan, Morocco (again), and Seattle (twice). My next post will be about my recent travels but for now I'm excited to talk about the spice grinder I just purchased from my FAVORITE store! It's technically a coffee grinder, but since I am not a regular coffee drinker I am going to use it specifically for spices. I first saw it in a magazine that was dated from a few years ago but I was surprised to see they still have it for sale! I've been cleaning house and found I had at least 20 unread food and travel magazines from the past few years. I went through them all this week, cutting out all my favorite recipes and articles to save in a folder. When I saw this spice grinder I knew I had to have it! This photo is only a similar photo I found, not an exact replica. :)
