my whereabouts -- b/c I know you're all interested

I have been a very busy woman lately. I've just begun branching out of my stay-at-home life to which I've become a little too accustomed. On Thursday I went to a PR meeting for a local community center where I met a lot of nice new people. It was refreshing to "talk shop" and not about baby Doodle. I was given a small project that I'm supposed to start today.

On Friday we had our weekly neighborhood happy hour where I drank three or four of a delicious cocktail made with vodka, raspberries, tonic, some kind of juice and basil leaves. It gave me a new use for the growing basil plants outside my kitchen window. From happy hour Mr. Doodlebug dropped me off at the brewery where I met up with a bunch of moms I know from the playground -- the same moms I've met up with for drinks before. He took baby Doodle home and got him to bed. I stayed out only until about 11:00 p.m.

Saturday, I met up with three other bloggers at Honey's Sit n' Eat where I sat and ate two vegetable latkes even though I wasn't that hungry. They were delicious. And the homemade applesauce was incredibly smooth, and delicious!

Sunday, my in-laws came over and we went to Linvilla Orchards where we picked tomatoes, bell peppers (purple, green and red), eggplants, and not-yet-ripe peaches. The peaches are sitting in our fruit basket waiting to soften. We got sandwiches from Mugshots on Main Street and ate them in front of the Phillies game in which Mr. Doodlebug and his father were interested.

Yesterday, I drove to Kennett Square to see my friend and her two kids. There, I had a delicious, yes another delicious, sandwich made of pesto, Vermont cheddar cheese, apple, and alfalfa sprouts in a wheat pita. Baby Doodle had a cream cheese and jelly sandwich, as he does every day of his life, except today when he had a cheese sandwich.

It seems that much of my last five days were dominated by good food -- it's been a busy, but delicious five days.
