We're leaving in about an hour for the cape. Too bad the weather is so dreary, but regardless I am looking forward to a wonderful 5 days of food and drink and relatives and relaxation. Evidently there is some fresh-caught cod awaiting us, thanks to a friend of my brother-in-law, and a plan for dinner out Friday night.

Mostly I'm thinking about sitting on the Baron family deck with the dog, reading a book, and eating crab dip.

When we come back I have high hopes: I am planning to do a blog redesign by the end of the summer. I'm also done with school, so I'll be back in the kitchen and posting CSA-veg-related recipes, which after all was the whole point of this project!

There's also a possibility that my friend Ravinder will become a guest writer, focusing on cocktails. If we can ever sit down and talk about how to work that!
