Today was the first day I was able to log onto ChewsLocal and actually have time to write something. This past month has been crazy for a whole variety of reasons and I'm glad to see there are still some people checking the blog out despite the lack of posts!
Let's see, I finally uploaded pictures from the Tremont Ale Fest and Black Keys Concert. This is definitely an event that is going on my calendar for next year!

I shot a lovely wedding for some friends from church. Their new love was so inspiring to me and I wish them all the best! Photography is something I do outside of the lab and the kitchen to get some creative exercise, something I have needed a lot of lately! Then I photographed two of my closest friends to celebrate their engagement. They are getting hitched Nov. 13 and they are a wonderful couple.
Then I fooled around in lab making cells grow and then trying to kill them before heading off for a much needed vacation to beautiful Isla Mujeres, MX. The island always seems to slow life down a little bit and restore my soul. I am so grateful to Zina and Andrea for making the trip both possible and a blast.
Mostly I sat on the beach facing the beautiful turquoise waters reading a good book, or 5!
And of course we ate lots of local food and danced the night away on more than one occasion. You can't imagine how amazing it was to dance to music on a cliff overlooking the carribbean under the starry sky and witness a meteor shower. It couldn't have been a better vacation!
Looking at my pictures, I realize I didn't capture any of the incredible island food. Oh well, you'll just have to go there to try it out yourselves- it really is a foodie paradise. Now that I am back into lab full swing (and trying to get my manuscript published) I am hoping to get back into blogging more regularly. My life is still all over the place and cooking for one, although way more fun than I anticipated, means I dont do much of it! When I can cook for myself, I always fall back on an egg sammie. Fry up the egg, salt and pepper it, slice some cheese, tomatoes, some cilantro or spinach, a little mayo and you have the perfect sandwich comfort food. Cooking for one means there are less dishes and I always get to eat what I like and have leftovers too!
