Sorry for the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks. With only two servings over 14 days, I’ve definitely been derelict in serving up the ‘mac & cheese’ of late, but not without good reason.
It’s been a crazy fortnight (give or take a few nights). First, a trip down to Connecticut for Karen’s dad’s sixtieth birthday shindig; then a long weekend in the Green Mountains with Karen’s side of the family; then a trip to the New Hampshire coast for a few days with my side of the family; plus the wedding of a high school friend (also on the New Hampshire coast).
It’s definitely been a great few weeks, with many good times and memorable moments, some of which will be chronicled in servings over the coming week (in an attempt to make up for the recent dearth of ‘mac & cheese’), but the highlight was definitely meeting and getting to know our new niece, who’s ten months old and traveled to New England from Hawaii (with her parents, of course) for her grandfather’s sixtieth birthday celebration, including the aforementioned trip to the Green Mountains. More on her in the next serving.
Now it’s back to the daily grind, relatively speaking.
I am planning to return to my serving pace of two to three posts per week, but I’m facing the prospect of jury duty at the end of the week, which could throw me a serious curveball as I attempt to meet some project deadlines, get in the requisite number of work hours a week, and hold up my end in taking care of the kids and doing the household chores.
As long I don’t have to plead insanity.
I hope you enjoyed today’s serving of ‘mac & cheese.’
