Experiments in a Galley Kitchen: Why did we plan this?

This started as a way to chronicle my love of all things food - grocery shopping, cooking stores, recipes, baking, cooking and experimenting.

I found that however much I love food, there are other things that occupy my time/thoughts. Some serious - God, family, health, love and more. Other thoughts are definitely not serious - fashion, cosmetics, moisturizers, conditioner and perhaps even my search for the perfect pair of running shoes.

Why share all this with "strangers"? My husband, Mr. Potts, tells me I am a chatty Cathy something akin to a wind up doll where you pull the string and the chatting starts. He appreciates the fact that I choose to spare him (sometimes) all these random thoughts. Yet, he also benefits from my musings on food and my experiments in our kitchen.

I hope you'll enjoy my thoughts - say hello and let me know what you think!

Why did we plan this?

Mr. Potts and I are heading to Key West in less than a month. Yesterday before getting in the shower, I took a good look at myself. This is what I noticed:

I am pasty white.
My stomach is not quite where I want it to be yet. I know this takes time, but I really wish I had a magic wand.
I need some new clothes. Some summery clothes. I'd like something like these to take with us. There is just something so simple about little dresses!

I honestly can't wait to get away. We'll be down there from Thursday to Sunday with average temperatures in the 80's. I think we should take a spring break every year!

Where would you go for a short "spring break" trip if you could?

I don't wear too many dresses BUT I saw that Old Navy has them for very cheap and cute right now. Check it out!

Hmm... I would go ANYwhere with a board walk and temperatures higher than 80. :-)
