Anybody still out there?

Well, first things first. To anybody out there who read the blog and then wondered where I disappeared to, I'm sorry. Sorry for abandoning Spoon Diaries. I kind of feel like a bad mother :(
I'm not going to make any excuses though, because the truth is that I was pretty lazy. You see, around the beginning of November I got my first full-time post-college job. Getting used to the whole 8-5 thing took a while. There were some (well, actually a lot of) days when I came home and just wanted to crash on the couch. So the blog just moved onto the back burner. And it stayed there. For a long time. And that is how I became a negligent mother...

But all this doesn't mean that I stopped loving food, or cooking for that matter. In all the time I've been gone, I've cooked up three different big holiday meals, made up tons of new recipes, tried out new ingredients, developed a love affair with eggplant (more on that soon...), and even started my very own vegetable garden! Lots has happened and I can't wait to share it all...

So, I guess what I'm saying is, I'm back! And this time I will do my best to stay away for the negligent mother role. After all, it doesn't really suit me very well...

Thanks for sticking around and welcome back!

PS. Oh, I almost forgot. Thanks very much to Hungry not Hungary for the encouraging words. I appreciate the post and am glad you liked the tortilla soup! :)
