Back 2 Normal-ish

Back in the big D :) We had an interesting time in my hometown. We enjoyed fresh from the Gulf seafood and relaxed on the beach, and we spend Saturday evening at The Great Mosquito Festival. Yeah...that's where I come from. The Husband was in BBQ heaven. I'm lucky enough to know some good people who were competing in the BBQ cook off. They won 2nd place! It was good times. And YEAH we got eaten by mosquitos the whole time! The Mosquito Festival is an interesting event. They have the Mosquito Leg contest AND the Mosquito Calling contest. That should give you an idea of the vibe (wacky). Today The Husband had to go back to work...4 WHOLE WEEKS before school starts! Yikes! I still have 3 glorious weeks until I am required to behave like a working wife. I'm not ready yet, I still have so much to do! And SO much to cook! TWENTY-SEVEN recipes to be exact. Holy guacamole! My 50 recipe challenge has been hovering around the halfway mark for TOO long. I have got some groceries to buy and food to cook! Today for #23 I burned some okra. That was pleasant. My apartment smells weird now. The recipe said to oven fry the okra at 475! I knew that was too hot. It has to be a typo. I nearly burned my eyeball skin off with steam and set my smoke alarm off. It was eventful. But, now I know. I did get something done today, however. I made some awesome TPT purchases. I love that website. I'm constantly impressed by the teachers that make such adorable things on there :)
