Greetings!
A lot has happened since my last post. I moved to a new city. Rented a new apartment. Joined a new gym. Started a new job.
FYI-There’s been another ‘new’ addition to my life, but I shall save that for another post. 
This weekend, I traveled home to spend some time with my family. I’ve been living in my new city for about a month now, and I’ve missed them!
Lots of fun activities were engaged in. (How’s that for passive voice?)
My mom and I visited our favorite grocery store.
And I came home with two huge boxes of loot!!
My dad and I had Sunday lunch at Ruby Tuesday’s.
Eating at Ruby Tuesday’s is a father/daughter tradition of ours. We always order the salad bar. Nothing more, nothing less.
When I was an undergrad student at Clemson, my dad would periodically come to town and treat me to a salad dinner. One Valentine’s Day,I specifically remember having a boyfriend-less V-Day Ruby Tuesday’s date with my dad.
Since arriving back at my apartment, I’ve crossed a couple fun things off my to-do list.
1) Planting herbs
I received this herb planting kit months ago when I hosted my Earth Day giveaway. At that time, I had nowhere to put these plants.
But now, I have a deck!!! I can’t wait until fall. I am going to enjoy sipping some hot tea while enjoying the crisp weather.
My babies are currently outside receiving some sunlight. I hope they sprout soon!
2) Baking cinnamon raisin bread!
From a mix…
Bob, usually, I heart you.
But not this time!! This bread mix is a big fat fail. 
The taste is just so off! I don’t even know where to begin. It looks pretty enough…
Do you buy Bob’s Red Mill products? Any faves? Or not-so-faves?
I’m off to Body Attack!! See you all later. 
Yay! I am glad you are back! Can’t wait to hear your new news!
I’m so glad you are back too! Hmmm… another new thing in your life and then you used the word “engaged”…
I hope everything is going well!
i have their baking stuff like wheat bran and oat flour…hasn’t failed me yet! BTW I love how close you are with your father!! let me guess…he got a burger? hahaha
Oh lily’s dad.
I was wondering where you went! Glad you’re back and can’t wait to hear your new news.
Good to see you back! It sounds like you’ve kept pretty busy
And was that Barney Butter I spied in your shopping loot!? OH the jealousy!!

Ahhh I went to Clemson, too! Love coming across a fellow Tiger
And my dad and I used to do lunch at Ruby Tuesday, too! So cute.
Yay, so glad you are back! Very excited to hear your news
welcome back! I was wondering where you had gone! sounds like you have been busy!
I’m glad you’re back! Ok so after over-analyzing your hint of “big news,” I came to the conclusion that either: 1. You’re engaged or 2. You’re pregnant?!
haha I could be totally wrong. I *almost* bought that bread mix the other day- good thing I didn’t!
I am dying to hear the “big news”… but concerning the Bob’s Red Mill; my favorite product is their RED lentils which tend to have a mushy (almost more mashed potato like taste). The only carry them at Whole Foods, which is a bummer. The red lentils put the regular ones to shame! Also, I am quite jealous of your herbs! My mint plant bit the big one the other day and I have been depressed ever since!
Hey, Lilcster!
I am really glad to see you back blogging. I do truly enjoy your posts. We did have a good meal at Ruby Tuesday’s, didn’t we?
I, too, look forward to the new “addition” NEWS.
P.S. For Diana, now, now; no burgers. Lily did say we had the salad bar; nothing more; nothing less. Despite Lily’s past true posts about her father’s “unusual” food choices, he is an avid salad eater and has been so for many years.
I buy Bob’s hot cereals and love them, but I don’t buy mixes in general only because I love making things by scratch! I bet you could make a way better cinnamon raisin bread

Best of luck with all your newness! That’s exciting! So nice to visit back home though. I do like Bob’s Meusli the best, but haven’t really tried too many other baking mixes. Who’s the new addition???
You’re back!!! Yay! Sounds like you have some exciting news to share…
Can’t wait to hear about the new addition. (I hope its a kitty
) Bob’s stuff is usually right on; But I have tried the gluten free pizza crust mix…Ick! Don’t make that same mistake! Glad you’re back!
