Hello strangers! How are YOU? Can you believe I have a post? It took a Books of My Life post to drag me out of hiding – ha!
I do owe you an explanation as to my writing sabbatical, and I promise one is coming.

Yes she did, and it’s fabulous. I was lucky enough to get an early copy and made her black bean and corn salsa, which will be a staple for my family this this summer.
