Our realtor sent us a box of goodies from Stonewall Kitchen and we cracked open a few of the items this weekend, including the Wild Maine Blueberry Jam. SO GOOD. (Also, since we’re talking Stonewall Kitchen, their salt & pepper crackers are the greatest crackers on earth and totally worth $7 a box. I know, sounds crazy, but it’s true.)

So I have some of the things on this weeks menu that we didnt get to last week. We sold our house last week and spent most of the week looking at new houses, so we ate out most nights. I have everything to make the meals, so they are on this weeks menu. Finally getting around to making them.
it’s crazy how time-consuming house-hunting is, totally throws everything off. good luck with that!
Jane- we found a house! And we move next weekend. With the kids in school, I didn’t want to wait too long to get them to a new school.
yay! congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!
