In our new city of Decatur the bike movement is in full effect. One of our city’s fine residents rolls around with his two kids in a modified one of these. Joe and I are so jealous.

I have ignored my blog for so long. Needless to say my world had been rather busy. We now own a four bedroom townhome in Decatur. I was hesitant to write anything about it for fear I would jinx the entire thing. We liked a few and loved a few but in the end we lucked up on the place that had only been on the market for a week. The only photo I will post now will be of my first craft for the house, a name banner for my little man. Plenty more are to come as we have many rooms to decorate and several furniture pieces to buy seeing as we have grown in space exponentially!

I have been a bad blogger. A non-exsistent one actually. I have been busy:
1. working
2. house hunting
3. raising baby
4. house hunting
5. trying to make room for baby in our small condo
6. bidding on houses
7. trying not to jinx luck by talking about love of one place and bidding
8. saying no to house whose owners would not pay closing
9. raising baby
10. hanging on safa with hubby
11.  house hunting
10. celebrating offer acceptance and looking forward to new home and all the ways we will decorate

Our closing date is quickly approaching and I will get my butt back into gear and show tons of photos of us in our new place and all of the fabulous things we will do to make the home truly ours.

I just got this awesome book at the library. Do you remember those? The one I go to with my class is always hopping and now they actually have a book sale going on. I went apeshit in it today as I also found this book:

I forgot that all of this written/picture -filled glory is free there.

Anyway back to the Pork book. When I saw this on the shelf it called to me. It is pink and it had the word pork in the title! Also it is a Phaidon book and they always have beautiful photos inside. But it is not just a pretty cover. The inside is filled with recipes for all parts of the pig. Chorizo and Mozzarella tapas and Boston butt cooked in beer! Are you kidding me?

I have already found it for sale on Amazon and will be buying it soon. I hope to try a few of these recipes soon and will post the results. But when you are cooking with pork you can’t go wrong.
