Pilgrims' Progress

Progress is being made here, I promise. I've narrowed down the house options to ones that might potentially house 26 humans for three days. I will be sharing those with an elite focus group tomorrow and seeing if we can get these houses reserved!

In the meantime I also won a couple more nice contracts for work, went back to Orlando for one night for more Army stuff, groomed the dog, listened to the husband tell me about getting stung by a bee about 237 times, and spent the weekend with culinary adventures.

Friday I spent the morning at Dean & Deluca and Whole Foods where I found my lunch - sweet potato gnocchi that I dressed with a homemade gruyere cheese sauce. On the way to the river we stopped at the farm stand where I got fabulous cucumbers which are currently evolving into pickles in my fridge. I made candied walnuts and learned that Granny used to make good candies. Saturday night was the great grilling experiment and I made grilled chicken, steak and corn with a non-gross dijon potato salad.
