Simple Joyful Food

happy eats + simple living

live happily

Refreshed.

October 25, 2011 6 Comments

I am back from two weeks of glorious vacation, with my heart lifted, spirit stirred, mind motivated, and well, refreshed.

Contentedly refreshed.

All summer long I watched my friends head off on summer vacation and I thought Hurry Fall, I need you.

The wait was worth it.

I did miss you.

Let’s catch up.

There is so much to talk about.

And share.

And the food, the glorious food!  Oh my, you are in for a treat this year!

The foods and treats I marveled, ooohed and awhhhed over in travel this year can be easily be replicated:  smoked fish, snapper tacos, grilled fruit, Cuban-style black bean soup, empanada, cheesy jalapeno grits, and beet salad.

Look for these.  They are coming!

I also have a ba-zillion Northwest Arkansas treats to share with you:  tasting recommendations, burger reviews, everything-else reviews, and fantabulous giveaways.

We live in a beautiful land.

Here’s to Northwest Arkansas and the bounty to be discovered.

Let’s live life to the fullest!

Eat well, my friends.  Eat well.

Lyndi

    I want to be a snowbird now. 🙂

    Ok, YES – I received. I think all is well.

    And YES – you look refreshed! Still can't believe we were in the same place at the same time!! Wasn't the food fantabulous? I, too, have a beet salad up my sleeve – we will have to compare and contrast!

    Lunch soon!

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
