Day 59 -- Back to the Grind

You know the feeling--suddenly you are no longer in the fantasy world of everything being new--and you are right back in the middle of everything being mundane and too familiar.  That's what we woke up to--an hour early of course because we were gone just long enough to get our internal clock off track.  Bill went off to the office and I went off to the laundry room and catching up on my CASA obligations, etc.  Got lots accomplished but then, it was time for dinner.  We've had such wonderful, beautiful, fancy meals while we were gone, that I just didn't think hamburger helper would work out for us tonight--so I bought some boneless lamb chops to grill.  I've never been a fan of lamb, but after Jeff cooked up about 3 dozen lamb chops in Scotland for us one night for dinner, I've changed my attitude about lamb.  So, tonight was my very first time to not only buy lamb, but also to cook it--and it turned out just pretty good.  I used my magnificent indoor DeLonghi grill and threw those chops on there like I knew what I was doing, made some yummy Brussels sprouts and sliced up a melon--and we had a meal that might not have been as pretty as some we had while we were gone--but was pretty darn good!  And by the way, the melon was a Sugar Kissed melon--first one I've ever gotten but I learned about them from some of my buddies at the Women in the Outdoors event earlier this month.  They were right--there is no finer melon!  Try it--you will be hooked!
