I certainly apologize for my unexpected absence & I am sorry to make all of you lose sleep over my whereabouts.
You see, life happens. & I hate when it does that. Makes me rearrange my schedule without warning. Like, I need some sort of heads up, life. I don’t like having to jet set without some notice to buy mini shampoo.
Yes, another weekend, another airport. Which I do not mind at all because I truly feel most alive drinking $12 airport mimosas. I am a gorgeous, mysterious journalist traveling to Prague to cover something very important. That’s what everyone thinks of me. I am sure of it.
But I am a bit perturbed that they keep stealing my toiletries. They had the audacity to take my dry shampoo. I was all, “you really don’t know what a mistake you’re making here…” I went back with Polaroids of my greasy hair to show them the monster they created. (I did not do this.)
But I DID finally step foot in California. Well, LAX. & I had an organic salad & a lemonade & I was Miley Cyrus circa 2009 with my dream & a cardigan.

I’m seriously excited about this pasta. My pasta sauce repertoire is small and in need of non-alfredo/marinara options. 🙂 Lemon and red pepper sounds so good! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post. 🙂
