Kitchen Porn: Welcome Back! Edition

Wow. Well. It’s been three weeks since I last posted. Needless to say I’ve been busy! I went to South by Southwest Interactive (SXSW) in Austin, Texas for work – and who am I kidding?! For play, too. I ate my freakin’ face off. It was great. Highlights included braised short ribs with sweetbreads, tempura fried rabbit hearts and perhaps the smoothest, most balanced manhattan I’ve ever had.

After Austin I stole off to Phoenix, Arizona for some time at home. Mostly to sleep and recoup from SXSW. The experience is super fun but also super intense and tiring. I slept and slept and slept. And hung out with my puppies. (They do not like having their picture taken.)

I returned to DC feeling fresh-ish but still pooped and with a ton of work (and expenses) to do! After a week of catching up I feel like I’m finally organized and all things are in order.

I have something like four amazing recipes and posts I want to share with you now. I’m looking at my schedule and…I feel a blogathon coming on this week some time. Zucchini walnut whoopie pies, spinach and onion strata, another @DarthGarry cooking challenge and a lean mean butchering session…all coming your way soon. I’m excited!

What have ya’ll been up to? Anything fun? Cooking anything spectacular?
