We've missed you guys!

Well, by you guys, we mean our lovely friends who are reading this :-)

Thanks for the nudge to get going on this thing! So...believe it or not, we have been cooking and eating, A LOT. I like the cooking. Micah really, really likes the eating.

Have we been blogging? Obviously not so much!

Anyhow, we've "visited" New Zealand, Madagascar, and now we're in Zimbabwe. Quite the trip around the world, if you ask me!

We've posted or are trying to post all the foods we've cooked since we've had our online hiatus. Life has been so busy recently, but somehow we've still found time to cook together. It's been really great to learn how to create edible food as a team and it's making us really excited to start both of our respective lives abroad. Our...real, non-fake lives abroad!

For those of you who don't know, December is the launching point for my 1.5 yr job/traveling stint around the world and Micah's two year commitment to the Peace Corps starts the following May (no word yet on where he will be!). Anyway, cooking together has given us a sense of security knowing that at the very least, wherever we end up, we will at least be able to eat!

Fighting or quarrels in the kitchen are minimal...perhaps because we sort of view our meals as a "threat"; we use teamwork to "defeat" it. Often I catch myself saying several times how much I enjoy doing this project with Micah - for someone who used to hate kitchens, I've sure become a convert!
