After these messages....

Remember when those three little words were used to introduce commercial breaks? Well, you may have noticed that I've been away from my regular 'programming' for a couple of weeks. That doesn't mean I've been napping on the job; in fact, when things get quiet on the Traveling Spoon, you can be sure they're crazy-busy in 'real' life.

In the past couple of weeks, Matt and I experienced our first cruise vacation (to Bermuda, no less!), and spent a week visiting his parents in South Carolina. We've been back less than a full day and already we're preparing for the next big adventure - tomorrow we begin moving all of our things down the road to our first non-apartment home!

Our new place may be only 30 minutes away, but it's in a completely different state (we'll be living in Kentucky by the end of the week!), and since our entire lives are packed up in tiny shipping boxes, this move may prove to be rather challenging.

In other words, my 'commercial break' may have to last a little longer, but I hope you'll 'stay tuned' nonetheless. I'm hoping to share some great cruise-themed posts (yes, I basically ate my way across the Atlantic) and lots of new recipes - so don't go away, we'll be right back!
