blue artichoke

Continued from yesterday...

Once I got cookin', I couldn't stop. Well, actually I did stop on Sunday, because I was hungover from said party Saturday night (killer brandy Alexanders!). Yesterday, I strapped on my apron again and spent some quality time in the kitchen, cooking up a bevy of meals for GC to eat while I'm gone. See, not only am I leaving him for most of two weeks while I go to Mexico (he's joining me there for a few days), but I'm leaving him all by his lonesome for a few months when I go to DC.

What!?

Blue Artichoke is moving! Finally!

Now it is official. I got a new job, so I'm packing up my business and my house and heading back to Washington, DC (which is where I lived before I moved to the Midwest). I'm moving right after I return from Mexico, and leaving GC behind for a few months while I start working and look for a place for us to live. He'll join me later this summer.

I know that GC is a capable and responsible adult who somehow managed to feed himself before I came along, but I still feel like I need to leave him with a freezer packed with meals. I don't have much in the way of a nurturing instinct, but I do feel responsible for making sure he is well fed. GC is actually a good cook in his own right, but he rarely gets a turn in the kitchen. So, before I go, I'm making double meals every night, one for us to eat and one to freeze. It will give GC options for when he doesn't feel like cooking for himself, and it will make me feel better about leaving him on his own for a few months.

Exciting times, these.
