// cute carrots //

Every time we go to my boyfriends parents' house in Deland, FL we never leave empty-handed. It's seriously not even an option. If you say "no", it just takes longer to leave. My family's the same way, but they're even worse because they'll send you back with cargo. I literally had to check-in a box of some Vietnamese pork product once when I was like 10 yrs old to take home from D.C. to Orlando, FL. Of course that was when airlines were not as strict about checked bags. My relatives would just tell me to tell the attendant I was checking in baby food. Really? It reeked of pork. Anyway, the carrots are from my boyfriend's parent's garden. Aren't they super cute? It's actually a smaller colander, too. So, the carrots are actually smaller than usual. Looks fake or something. Here are some tips for starting your own garden...even if you live in an apt like me!

Soooooooooooo...I've been really, really bad about updating my posts on here. I've been thinking about changing the whole blog up a bit. It would be a lot easier if it was more about me and my everyday food experiences, whether it be me cooking at home or just eating out w/friends. So, from now on, I'm going to just post about whatever I'm in the mood for about my true love - food. I mean it's a huge tie b/t food AND music for me, but you definitely need food for survival. Although, music is necessary for survival, too. That could be a whole 'nother argument, but you know what I mean. ;]

p.s. I just turned 30. Can you believe it? I still look like I'm 22 yrs old and the young kids still hit on me, so I guess that's not too shabby. Here's a photo from the burfday shenanigans.
