HERRROOO SG!!!
ok i haven't been the greatest at updating things. Sorry about that. Busy single mom life ya know!!
Thank you everyone that gave my set, TwoInTheShirt love & comments. I really appreciate all the support.
BurningMan was absolutely amazing! I saw so much art and met amazing people and and the food. Of course in any large gathering there were a fair share of assholes but I just avoided that negativity. I ran a kitchen with my camp, cooked for 150 people in an old school bus. Humbling for sure, challenging & exciting really. I was super nervous about cooking in unknown conditions for that many people, but everything went well. Even got interviewed by the Media Mecca, something about a virgin cooking gourmet meals on the playa. I fed Skrillex my cookie, i am told i talked to him and made sexual innuendos (who me, never ;) ) about him putting my cookie in his face (I took over 700 non-medicated cookies and 120 medicated cookies- none are left) and even caught daft punk by the trash fence. I attempted to give them a cookie, but couldnt get close enough to their stage. I thought I'd take my instax, not exactly the wisest choice. But it was cool, I got about 20 pictures that were clear enough. I kind of got caught in living the experiences though instead of capturing it, so not sad. Plenty of instax to take pictures of other things later :) hehe. I can't wait to go back next year. hooked for life. i recently went back out onto the 'playa' and it was so amazing. got to sleep under the stars. it was so dark & empty completely beautiful. I wish i could have captured the stars, they seemed so close that you could touch them. it was honestly a crazy long ass road trip with my best friend/ex haha. such a long story. maybe one day i'll write about him. anyway. we discovered this cool ghost town. complete with two houses, hotel and restaurant.. all abandoned. some places with clothes still in the drawers.
My daughter's back from summer break. you caught that. just my daughter. this is something very hard for me. My son really struggled last year. with school and just with everything really. it's a lot to take on for one person and honestly i was slipping. i work full time, i just couldn't give his needs the attention they needed so he would thrive. so after many difficult conversations, my parents and i decided it might be in his best interest for him to stay with them for a while. get him set up with consistent doctors, therapy, after school activities, etc.. i miss him already. it's so weird but also, hard to admit, a little of a relief. i know he'll get the help he deserves. doesn't help me feel like i haven't failed in some aspect though. i know i haven't, but you know how it goes. i'm adjusting. excited for him to come home for the thanksgiving break.
Think im making a maple glazed pork loin, roasted green beans, corn pudding (it has bacon in it ok- so yummy) fresh rolls. then to finish it off pumpkin bread pudding with a spiced creme anglaise & salted caramel. this will be my first thanksgiving just me and my two minions and i couldn't be more ecstatic
what is the one dish you cannot do without on thanksgiving? it has to be the fresh buttermilk rolls for me. and the only time i splurg on something pumpkin.
Ok everyone. think i blabbed enough for one day.
thank you again for giving me love on all my sets & blogs & random pictures of my hot friends :)
