Menu planning the next two weeks is not going to be so fun...Nate's final defense is in 2 weeks, so he's busy, busy, busy. Poor guy - it sure will be nice for him when it's all done! Can't believe 6 1/2 years of a PhD are almost done. Amazing. Anyway, when he's not around, it's very hard to motivate myself to cook. But I'm going to do my darndest.

TUESDAY:

ReplyDeleteHi Jane,
ReplyDeleteI just read your Project Runway entry ... I am also addicted and can't wait to see the ending this week! I'm not so sure on the choice of Rami vs. Chris, but I'm a Jillian fan personally so can't wait to see who wins. (So Fierce as Christian would say)
